About CRC - 
​CRC is a Christian camp and guest services rental facility.  The camp is owned by the Brethren in Christ Denomination and overseen by the Allegheny and Susquehanna Conference.  In 1978, 238 acres of land was purchased and CRC was founded.  Three years later, in 1981 using just a modified barn the first children and youth camp was held with 13 campers.

Today, CRC holds several weeks of summer programs which includes youth and children summer camps, local missions with TIMS, and multiple family camps.  During the rest of the year, CRC is available for your use! CRC welcomes youth groups, family reunions, scrap booking and quilting retreats, adult retreats, college groups, business retreats, day events, and various other retreats! 
​
At CRC, our staff aims to create an atmosphere of peace and hope where people can be connect to Jesus and to each other. Come spend time at CRC and be restored and rejuvenated, so you may reenter your community to participate in Christ’s redeeming work of the world!
