Camp Swatara—Sign up for Weekend Camps!
Sign Up Now for Spring Weekend Camps!
Campers in 1st-9th grades are invited to head out to camp for a spring weekend to experience some of the best of camp even before the summer begins! Each weekend offers the opportunity to have fun, meet friends, and get a sneak peek at the theme for the summer. Arts and crafts, nature, singing, campfire, and Bible time will complete the weekend festivities. Weekends are planned for Juniors (April 1-3; Grades 1-3), Junior Highs (April 8-10; Grades 7-9), and Intermediates (April 15-17; Grades 4-6). Registration for each weekend begins at 7:00 p.m. on Friday evening and the program ends at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Cost is just $84 per person! Brochures have been mailed to past campers and registration is also available online at www.campswatara.org. Contact Jason Haldeman, Program Coordinator at jhaldeman@campswatara.org or 717-933-8510 for more information.
Family Camp Opening Workday and Spring Trails Workday – April 2. Mark your calendar to head out to camp on Saturday, April 2, to lend a hand on camp’s trails and opening the Family Camping Center for the 2016 season. Trails Workday folks will be hiking the trails to check blazes, clear branches, and report additional needs. We may also be installing new trail signs! The Trails Workday will begin at 9:00 a.m. and folks should gather in the East Area to be able to pack lunches to take along on the trail with them or you can bring your own lunch. Work in the Family Camping Center will begin around 8:00 a.m. and last until mid-afternoon as folks help clean-up from the winter and prepare for the new season. Gather in the Fellowship Hall in Family Camp for opening instructions. For those “down the mountain,” a morning coffee break and lunch will be served. Contact the camp office at info@campswatara.org or 717-933-8510 to sign up and let us know you’re coming! Participants can receive FREE CAMPING that weekend as our way of saying “thank you” for lending a hand! Please contact Robert Cayless to book your site at 717-933-5244 or familycamp@campswatara.org.
