Our Roots
Canaan Acres Christian Camp, which consisted of a few buildings and a tent on 72 acres of land, came into existence in 1954.
Our Faith
Canaan Acres was founded in a “leap of faith” in 1954 as the district center for the Akron District Church of the Nazarene when ninety acres of wooded and scrubland were purchased north of Louisville, Ohio. Canaan Acres has grown much since its humble beginnings, but the mission remains the same today.
Our Mission
The camp is still central to the life of the Nazarene Church in Northeast Ohio and continues to reach out as a haven for other Christian ministries and organizations looking for a place to fellowship, camp and have retreats in a safe, friendly environment surrounded by nature.
