Camp Canaan

Canaan is established as a resource for families within York County, the greater Charlotte area and beyond. Recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity and incorporated in the state of South Carolina in April 2004, Canaan is governed by a Board of Trustees and managed by co-directors, Nick & Tiffany Wimmer. Our primary service to families is through our programs, which include: summer camps, retreats and adventures. Additionally, we offer financial relief for families by providing scholarships for children through our private foundation, The Promise Fund. Our annual goal is to provide scholarships for at least 35% of children registered for our summer programs. Our philosophy and approach to service is to offer quality, safe programs at a reasonable rate that focuses on the development of each individual and their role in the community. Our counselor to child ratio is 12:1 and each of our staff and volunteers serve with a loving, hands-on approach. We desire for people that cross the bridge onto the camp property to have an experience that makes a lasting impact in their life.
