Our location is within a short driving distance from areas of New York and Pennsylvania. We host events all year long for children, adults, and families. Our facilities are available for rental in the fall, winter, and spring. In the summer we host sleepaway and day camp programs. Please note that we can not accommodate weddings from mid-June through Labor Day.
Our Facilities and Services
Host your ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, or all your wedding festivities in one location! Our grounds provide a mix of both outdoor and indoor spaces for small and larger groups. Our two large outdoor amphitheaters seat approximately 300 people each and are great for wedding ceremonies or an evening campfire and s’mores. Our two lodges, both with fireplaces, provide additional space for gatherings in the fall, winter, or spring seasons, and our fields also offer sizable areas for canopies and tents.
Our cabins are clean and well maintained, complete with screened windows, built-in bunks, storage areas, electricity, flush toilets, hot showers, and most importantly - smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. For an even more rustic experience, we offer seasonal cabins that have amenities close by.

Depending on the season, couples and their guests can partake in activities including:
Canoeing, fishing, kayaking, or sailing on Fairview Lake
Hiking to the Ridge for breathtaking views of camp and the surrounding landscape
Indoor or outdoor climbing walls

We offer onsite catering for both the wedding celebration and during your stay. Meals provided by camp are served at the Dining Hall.

Celebrations may also hire catering or food truck services.
