★Wayne FothThey single kids out that they think will be a problem on somebodys elses say so.they dont even give the kids a chance to prove them selfs.whats worse they been to camp for multible years and never had any problems .but on hearsay only they want to judge people,dont sound like a christian camp to me.i would think about going to this camp,or having your children with people that judge others on hear say.
★★★★★Dave “Krazy Dave” YAmazing little retreat with very friendly, helpful, polite staff. Hiking trail was a great peaceful stroll. And very nice cabins and setting!! Definitely recommend!!!
★★★★★Beautifulone227It was a most excellent weekend @ Penn York Camp...so healing w/ internal things being dumped, grieved, & released! God is sooooo very good & showed up in many ways including some beautiful sunrises...
★Monkey BoyDon't believe the way they are teaching kids is Godly at all, teaching to ask for signs is not Biblical. Great camp, beautiful surroundings for sure. But God's word is God's Word and they shouldn't change it
★★★★★Regina DennisonWonderful place to experience God's creation. Very nice accommodations. Fun and family friendly events are held here year round, and summer camp is incredibly fun! Beautiful dining hall. The high ropes challenge course is super, and the low ropes group challenges are always well run, fun, and a good training tool. Many other things to do too, swimming pool, boating on the pond, soccer, basketball, etc. Come here often and will continue to!
