Laurel Lake Camp and Retreat Center
Laurel Lake Camp and Retreat Center(SDA)
Laurel Lake Camp is a week-long Christian overnight camp on a 268-acre wooded property at 76 Lodge Road in Rossiter, western Pennsylvania, operated by the Pennsylvania Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Weeks are age-banded - Adventurer for ages 7-10, Junior 10-12, Tween 12-14, Teen 14-16 and a horse-focused Cowgirl Camp for ages 13-17 - with a family week in late July. Campers swim and paddle the lake, climb the floating iceberg, ride horses and learn survival skills, go go-karting, build model rockets and use a gymnasium, sledding hill and miles of wooded trails; the camp meets twice a day to worship together 'through singing, skits, testimonies, and stories'. Published tuition is $960 per session with a subsidised $435 rate for Pennsylvania Conference members, alongside early-registration, sibling, second-week and bring-a-friend discounts, scheduled payment plans and sponsorship funds; buses run from Blue Mountain Academy and a Harrisburg church stop, and meals are lacto-ovo vegetarian.

★★★★★Tinarion MorrisonGod's presence is all over this blessed place!
★★★★★JessicaMy son went here for the first time this past week. He had a blast! It’s such a beautiful calm place. My son got to do so many activities, make friends, and just truly enjoyed his time at Camp Laurel Lake! He will be back next year!
★★★★★Robin BairBeds are comfy, the new camp director and his wife are fantastic, can't wait till camp opens for summer session! We came up as part of the kocing crew. It's a really sweet spot!
★★★★ItsjustevaiiI went there 2 summers ago and I'm not sure if I want to go again. Don't get me wrong this is nice place to worship God but the kids that go there are wild. They kind of skewed my experience but that's just how my age group is. Activities were a 10/10 I loved the go carts and horse riding!! The food wasn't good but it is understandable because it's camp, but I did have to resort to eating salad everyday (not fun), but the cafeteria was my favorite place because I liked how we would sing a jingle in the morning and at lunch. I would give it 3 stars but since I saw a bear cub my second last day there I think this place deserves a 4.
★★★★★Dana KWhat a beautiful, peaceful place to enjoy God's creation.
