Overnight Summer Camps


41.2266° N, 75.2676° W

Spruce Lake’s overnight summer camp program is called “Wilderness Camp” and is situated in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. Here, kids ages 8-17 are out in the midst of God’s creation for 6 exciting days of fun, Bible teaching and adventure!

Daily activities take advantage of Spruce Lake’s 888 acres of woodlands, waterfalls, and mountain streams. Campers love the 500-foot zip line, the 3-person climbing tower, archery range, kayaking, power swing, swimming at the pool, adventure programming, outdoor explorations, and daily Fireside worship and Bible teaching.

All camp activities are age-appropriate. Team members and counselors are carefully selected, screened and trained to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of campers.

On-site Overnight Camps By Age Group

Discoverers (Ages 8-10)

Discoverers Camp introduces younger children to all the fun outdoor activities and to being away from home.

Not that they will have much time to think about missing home! We keep them active as their tent groups participate in games, the mini-zipline, swimming, kayaking, nature activities, sports, the 300-foot water slide, daily devotionals, lively evening Fireside worship and more!

Two counselors per tent group will look after campers’ daily needs and be fun-loving Christian role models.  We make sure to have earlier bedtimes so there is always a new supply of energy for the next day. Campers also stay with their tent groups for stability and continuity.
