Camp

Hundreds of inner-city children and teens have the opportunity to see God in a new light when they come to Teen Haven Camp. The quietness and beauty of our 50 acre camp in southern York County allows urban youth to experience a view of God they rarely can in the city. Experiencing the joys and challenges of camp with leaders from their neighborhood helps them carry their deeper walk with God back home where they can be a positive impact in their communities.

Teen Haven offers camping opportunities all year-round:

SUMMER CAMPS Swimming at Teen Haven Camp

Each summer, Teen Haven runs a ten-week summer camp ministry serving inner-city kids ages 9-17 from Philadelphia, Lancaster, and York, PA. Separate boys’ weeks and girls’ weeks are offered and run from Monday to Friday.

Summer Camps offer lots of outdoor fun including swimming, hiking, miniature golf, wagon rides, sports and campfires. Kids stay in cabins housing 6-10 people, with indoor bathroom and shower facilities. Chapel times are inspiring and challenging as kids get to know the God who created them and all the beauty that surrounds them.

SCHOOL YEAR RETREATS

Throughout the school year Teen Haven also offers weekend retreats for boys and girls. Many youth come back to camp to continue growing and learning while experiencing the fun of camp all over again.

Older teens have the opportunity to develop leadership skills by attending our leadership retreats and conferences offered several times during the year. Leadership skills are put into practice as these teens then begin to serve as junior counselors and cabin supervisors for retreats and summer camp weeks.

RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES

Teen Haven camp is available to be rented by outside groups such as churches, ministries, youth groups, men’s or women’s groups, etc.

 

 

Groups can rent the entire facility, or share a week or weekend with another group. Teen Haven staff are available to serve and assist with programs and activities if needed. Both self-cook and full meal service options are available.

BARNABAS HOUSE

For small groups, family, or personal retreats, the Barnabas House is a wonderful option. This 4 bedroom house is a short walk from the main camp property, the perfect blend of accessibility and privacy. The Barnabas House can accommodate up to 16 people and is available for self-cook or full meal service options as well.
