Chop Point Inc.

Mission Statement

Chop Point received accreditation from the American Camping Association and opened as a camp in 1967. Before the founding of Chop Point, the property had been operated as Merrymeeting camp for over fifty years. In 1987, we opened Chop Point School, to offer a quality education in a caring Christian environment. Although Chop Point was organized by a group of Christian men and women, campers and students come from a wide variety of religious and non-religious backgrounds. The Christian faith, as expressed in the Apostles Creed, is presented in an open, interdenominational setting. Chop Point desires to be compassionate and encouraging rather than judgmental. Chop Point's philosophical foundation is based on Jesus Christ, the most attractive and wonderful person in the world. Saint Paul stated, "In Him are found all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." True Christianity is not ten thousand burdensome rules, but is rather an enjoyable friendship with Jesus Christ.
