We LOVE Camp Canaan. Our children always come back home raving about the activities they were able to do. The staff and counselors are wonderful also. Matt, the camp director, has done some amazing things there the past few years. We will certainly come back.

Camp Canaan was really great for our daughter. Close to home, but feels like it's not because of the location. So many different activities and she was challenged to do them all and faced her fears. Awesome experience all around! And also learned more about Jesus and her faith.

Camp Canaan is amazing on every level. My son looks forward to spending his summers there and hopes to become a counselor when he’s old enough. The staff is absolutely incredible!

The disc golf course is fantastic for the $5 that it cost to play. I would have preferred if the entire park was available to families perhaps on a weekday so that they can also experience the camp without having to have a big group.

What an amazing place! My son had a great week at summer camp. He wants to go again! The staff was very friendly and caring, there were lots of fun activities, but most importantly, it was all gospel centered!

The disc golf course at camp Canaan cost $6 per person and was ridiculously fun and challenging! Highly suggest stopping by. We really enjoyed the Riverbend course and even saw some campers fly by on a zip line above! After getting an ace on hole 7 (over a pond) my partner had to buy a cool Camp Canaan disc from their nice camp store collection! Sign a waiver online before you play or sign it on an iPad in the shop!

Our daughter loved summer camp and had a great time. Nice facilities, lots of fun things to do, and leaders seem to set good examples. Kids can form little cliques though and I would suggest they do something to get kids to work outside of their established groups.

My daughter LOVED her counselors and all of the activities they had planned for her and her friends. They were supportive throughout the entire week - helping her feel comfortable in a new environment, introducing her to so many new outdoor adventures and experiences, and helping her step outside of her comfort zone. She also really enjoyed the Bible study hour and group singing (and now wants to learn how to play guitar)! Thank you for giving her such an amazing experience - she cannot wait for the rest of the summer and is already planning her resident camp for next year!

Went for the disc golf course.
*Important*
Online waiver required for first time and $6/round if you're not a member.
Course is very well laid out with 2 sets of tees. Signature hole has a spiral staircase to an elevated pin. Definitely worth the look, and will be back! Bring boots

Beautiful spring day for a zipline! Took the full course tour with our family, 2 kids 9yrs and 13yrs old. Felt very safe. Our guides, Phillip and Molly, were friendly and reassuring. Gorgeous views of the Catawba River! Lots of fun! Definitely recommend!
