Cherith is the name of the brook the Lord sent the prophet Elijah to for spiritual refreshment. While Elijah was there, ravens brought food to him. You can read about this in 1 Kings 17:1-6.
Today we look at Camp Cherith® as a place campers come to learn more about Jesus Christ and have their souls refreshed by the Lord.
