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."Parent of a Summer Camper
You’ll meet a wide variety of new friends, and Christian camp counselors, and build relationships that could last a lifetime. The food is great, the environment is safe, the staff are fun and caring, and the opportunities are endless!

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 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!

Please see the Registration Info page for current dates, times, prices, and to register online
Black Rock Retreat offers creative alternatives to the influences that young people face in today’s society. 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 & singing, Biblical teaching, cabin discussions, and simply hanging out and talking! They love to serve God and serve our campers!
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. All of our facilities meet or exceed OSHA and PA State inspection standards. All counseling and program staff are trained in CPR and First Aid through the American Red Cross.
