Ready for some summer fun?
A memorable and meaningful summer overnight camp experience is right around the corner! Our summer programs operate various weeks from mid-June until mid-August for rising 2nd-12th graders!
Located on over 100 acres of beautiful woodland in southern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Black Rock has offered a quality co-ed Christian camp experience for over 60 years! Our motto and our passion is “To Know Christ and Make Him Known!”
Each of our summer staff members and programs are intentionally focused on helping our campers do just that each day of camp!

There’s no time for boredom!
We couldn’t possibly list all of the wide range of fun activities and outdoor adventures that you can choose from to fill each day during your week of fun at camp, but here are a few just to tease you:
Growing in Faith
Today, our goal is to integrate a Christ-centered worldview into our entire program. Camp is an ideal setting for our well-trained, caring, quality counselors and staff to be positive role models of the Christian life as they relate closely to each camper.
Our summer staff are dedicated to helping our campers grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ in many ways, such as one-on-one time, devotionals, group worship, outdoor activities, music and singing, Biblical teaching, cabin discussions, and simply hanging out and talking! They love to serve God and serve our campers!
Meals & Lodging
Also known as a “sleep away camp,” campers sleep in dormitory-style cabin facilities, each with its own bathroom.
Three hearty, balanced meals are served each day, including two family-style meals served in the air-conditioned dining hall and one outdoor picnic for either lunch or supper.

Parents Say…
“I couldn’t have asked more. We truly are blessed to be able to send our child to such an amazing camp. The counselors were awesome. Our son felt very close to them as they had a lot in common. I couldn’t thank them enough! When you go pick up your child and his face has a smile ear-to-ear and he says, ‘This year was even better than last!’ you know as a parent, God is present.”
