For over 56 years, Ryde has provided a unique community where campers, live, laugh, and learn together. Ryde offers one-week sessions for girls 8 to 15 years old.

Nestled amid the tall pines, along our extensive waterfront location, the pristine wilderness offers a beautiful, natural setting.

Making new friends, learning new skills, exploring nature, watching awesome sunsets and brilliant stars . . . campers experience a community based on respect and acceptance.

Caring, committed staff and our smaller camper enrolment contribute to a feeling of connectedness for all campers.

We invite you to learn more about Ryde as you explore this site.

Ryde Lake Camp, a non-profit organization, has been an enriching factor in the lives of  thousands of girls since 1952.

Over 56 years ago, a small group of very forward-thinking women had a vision and were brave enough to turn it into a reality. That reality become Ryde Lake Camp and today is still a steward of the irreplaceable ministry of Christian camping.
