The perfect kids getaway at our beautiful lakeshore property in Lambton Shores, ON. Forest Cliff is the camp where kids create friendships that will last a lifetime!
Our Campers Love
Summer Home
Overnight Camp is all about creating a safe and fun environment for campers to thrive. We’ve customized every aspect of our Overnight Camps to create unique, unforgettable experiences for kids!
Friendships
We want all campers to feel like they belong! Campers stay in the same cabin with two cabin leaders all week. Beach, High ropes, campfire – we experience all activities together and our focus is always building and growing friendships.
Big Adventures
Overnight Camp is a great place to try new things and build confidence! Our campers are encouraged (but never forced!) to try all our activities. We go big – waterfront, high adventure, pedal karts, archery, inflatable obstacle course, arts & crafts – we have all the fun for everyone.
God’s Plan For Kids
Our hope is that all campers will know that Jesus loves them very much. Through skits, songs and interactive small groups, we start to learn more about God’s plan for us – always in a fun and kid friendly way.

FAQ
Forest Cliff wants campers with complex needs to be able to attend and have a great experience at Overnight Camp. Our support program pairs your camper with a 1:1 cabin leader who will provide support for the week. While your child is at camp, we make sure every camper is given individual attention and is integrated into the experience. Through our integrative programming we strive to meet the needs of campers, whether it’s physical, behavioral, dietary or medical. Our support coordinator will determine if Forest Cliff is able to create an amazing integrated experience for your camper. They will conduct an intake meeting so that your camper’s cabin leader is well prepared to help create the best camp experience for them. If your child receives 1:1 support at school (ie. EA, Support Worker, Respite Worker, etc) or if you believe that the assistance of a 1:1 support cabin leader would enable your child to best experience Overnight Camp, please contact support@forestcliff.ca.

Meals are served buffet style and within the meal there are a handful of different options for your camper. Our kitchen is familiar with special diets and food allergies and are happy to accommodate any additional needs. Making sure campers are eating enough and eating a variety of nutritious meals is one of our top priorities! We strive for diversity within the meals so even if the main dish isn’t something they enjoy there are other sides and alternatives (cereals, breads, fruits, and veggies) on hand.
Anyone picking up a camper must be on the authorized pick-up list, and will be required to show photo ID. Ensure that the photo ID matches the way the name appears on the pick-up list. Please notify the office as soon as possible to update permissions should something arise.
