Trips Outside of Camp

Hershey Park

In the middle of Session One our entire camp takes a day out for fun and goes to Hershey Park!  We eat way too much chocolate and ride the coasters, water rides, and bumper cars all day!  Your entrance to the park is included in your tuition - all you need is your sense of adventure!

White Water Rafting

Once each session we launch our whole camp onto the Class III rapids of the Youghiogheny River for a seven mile white water rollercoaster ride. Helmets and life jackets are worn by everyone for safety, and professional guides ensure a safe and exciting voyage.  This is one of the activities we do together with the entire camp and that makes it even more fun.  One of the most exciting activities we do at camp, whitewater rafting is guaranteed to increase your heart rate!

Berry Picking

When blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries & strawberries come into season in central Pennsylvania we offer berry picking as an activity!
We pick berries to eat and try to save enough to make desserts for the entire camp.  This is a popular summer camp activity for those with a sweet tooth!


Amish Markets   

Every Wednesday in a nearby Amish community there is a market and auction where campers may watch livestock such as cattle, pigs, sheep and horses being auctioned.  Campers also have the chance to buy and bring home a rabbit to care for during their three and one-half week stay at camp.

During First Session we go the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts for live music, art, exhibits and great food!  This event is held in nearby State College, PA.
