Senior Adult Day
May 30
People of all ages are invited to join us for a day of fellowship, inspiration, adventure and fun as we gather to see and hear about some amazing local history from Byron Smail.
While Byron's day job may be running his landscaping business, his passion rests in sharing local history. Byron has written two books on the area's unique history in the Iron industry. His books Iron Furnaces of the Cove and Blair County Iron explore many of the iron furnaces that were so common in the 1800s.
Byron will share not only the history of these iron furnaces, but also about the influence the furnaces had on the area and the impact that the workers made in America. Any fan of local history will be fascinated to hear about this area's rich history in the iron industry.
Registration begins at 9 am. We will have a time of worship and singing and time with Byron before lunch. Then in the afternoon there will be time for activities of your choosing: camp tour, climbing the climbing tower and zipline, craft, and relaxing. Cost for the day is $20 and includes a morning snack, programming and lunch. You can register by sending in the flyer below or clicking the "Register now" button.

Junior Retreat
Jan. 30 - Feb. 1, 2026
What do you think of when you see the word “Wilderness”? Do you think of unexplored places on Earth? Do you think about Camp and all the wonderful woods around us? Maybe you think about Bible Stories like Jesus wandering through the wilderness for 40 days? All those things would be correct! The wilderness can be a physical place, but it can also be a way that we feel. Whether we’re walking in the woods or just going through a tough time, God reminds us that we are not traveling alone. Join us for our Junior Retreat and find out more about what it means to be “In the Wilderness”!
This retreat is for grades 3-5. Cost is $75, but get a discount if you register by January 16th! There will be singing, games, outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and a campfire! Come see your favorite camp counselors and make a new friend or two! See you there! Register online or download the flyer below and mail it in.
Junior High Retreat
Feb. 13-15, 2026
All 6-8 graders are invited to the Junior High Retreat! Join us as we welcome special guest Pastor Steve Keim! Steve is the pastor of the Beech Run Church of the Brethren. The theme for the weekend will be "Identity in Christ." We live in a world focused on the way things look. It can be easy to feel like we lack community just because we don't dress, act, or look a certain way. But as Christians, we are called to welcome each other in, not by the standards of this world, but by our belief in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5;7 reminds us that "We live by faith, not by sight." When we journey with other believers we never need to worry about fitting in. Join us and learn more about your own "Identity in Christ."
Cost is $85, but pay only $80 if you register by Jan. 30th! There will be singing, games, a campfire, outside fun, arts and crafts, and your favorite camp counselors! Register online or download the flyer below and mail it in.
Youth Retreat
Feb. 27- Mar. 1, 2026
All 9-12 graders are invited to the Youth Retreat Feb. 27-Mar 1! Join us as we welcome special guest Ryan Braught! Ryan is the Pastor/Church planter of the Veritas Church in Lancaster, PA. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories about losing something important. These parables aren't about losing something material; they're really about those times when we might feel lost in our faith journey. Join us as we dive deeper into these stories and learn more about how to find ourselves in Christ once again. This weekend promises to hold some big laughs, plenty of fun, and lots of friends both old and new! We hope to see you there!
Cost is $95, but pay only $90 if you register by Feb. 13th! There will be singing, games, crafts, night game and a Coffeehouse with karaoke. If the weather is right we will be sled riding! Register online or download the flyer below and mail it in.
