Camp Overview

At Spruce Lake Retreat, set in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania, our mission is to Point People to Christ. We offer many programs, including resident camp (week-long sessions for ages five to 18) and day camp (for ages five to 13). The resident camp continues to offer platform tenting and expeditions. Both programs offer Bible studies, daily worship, adventure programming, swimming outdoor exploration, hiking, archery, kayaks, and so much more!

Hmm... What's your role?

Staff Time Off

Camps end on Friday afternoon. Staff have Friday evenings through Sunday mornings off. We provide optional activities for staff to do during time off.

Staff Qualities

We are looking for staff who have a strong relationship with the Lord and are willing to be servant leaders to the campers. We serve children from a mix of backgrounds--privileged and unprivileged. Everything we do starts with the Christian relationship and sharing that relationship with the campers, so we are looking for staff who want to share this with the campers. We are also looking for staff who are self-starters and independent. Creativity and a sense of adventure are a must!
