★★★★★Rebekah MikkonenBeautiful camp on a lake with even more beautiful people serving us this past week. The camp staff was great; they worked hard to ensure all our needs were met, we were welcomed, and we were well fed. The big sky over the lake was beautiful at night with all the stars. The cabins served our purpose and had a nice common area with a fireplace. The swimming, boating, hiking, rock wall, and sports areas were all a hit. Thank you so much Pocono Plateau!

★★★★★Andrew HoffertWhat can you say about 750 acres of picturesque Pocono Mountain woodlands? Fantastic for group outings, weekend retreats, or a whole week of summer camp for children and youth of all ages. Pocono Plateau is God’s Place Apart - Transforming Lives…
★★★★★Bill EhningerWhat a special place. I spent 10 years here as a Summer camper and more as a counselor. The Plateau is where I formed some of my most enduring friendships. It is an amazing facility run by wonderful, caring folks. Highly recommend for Summer camp, work retreats or anything in between.
★★★★★Stephanie N.This camp is so well loved by my church and the kids that attend here. I mostly go up to volunteer and help fix building needs, clean up the grounds and painting. Some of the cabins are decently updated and feel homey. The lake is nice and the dining hall is fantastic with volunteer cooking staff who make great food.
