Summer Camp is a life changing week at the Christian Retreat Center in central Pennsylvania! Building community and relationships are integral to our purpose for our summer camp programs.  Your child will have the opportunity to grow their Christian faith, interact with peers, and challenge themselves to try new activities.  Our trained camp counselors are role models for your child, offering guidance, support, and, of course, lots of fun! May your child experience the hope and peace of Jesus at CRC this summer!
