Pocono Plateau Camp and Retreat is year-round Christian camp and retreat center located on 750 acres with two lakes in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. Our facilities are available year-round for retreats, day events, school field trips, and homeschool events. We also host a variety of summer camps for kids of all ages and welcome those in the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre communities to join us for outdoor adventure and lasting memories this summer! Summer Camp at Pocono Plateau is filled with adventure, nature, community, and Christian teaching. Pocono Plateau’s mission is to provide a space for children and youth to experience God’s love and presence in a Christian environment through fellowship, outdoor recreation, and challenge. Pocono Plateau offers both day and overnight camps.
We are committed to camp ministry because we believe it transforms lives, builds confidence, and shapes the faith formation of our children and youth. We welcome all campers just as they are, in a loving and accepting environment. Past campers return because of the strong communal bonds formed with other campers and staff and the recognition that something magical happens at camp.
