Church Day Camps in Lancaster County

Did you know there are several church day camps offered in Lancaster County by local churches? Some of them are pretty affordable too! I love that there are so many unique options to keep the kids excited and entertained throughout the summer months.

1. Donegal Presbyterian Church Camp Donegal

Donegal offers high impact activities and experiences that are grounded in Christ and experienced in God’s creation. At Camp Donegal, campers grow in confidence, mature in their faith, develop life-long friends, learn to express themselves, and gain personal skills.

This year, campers will learn what a New Hope really means. Using Biblical stories, campers will explore what our living hope is and how we can share it with others. Alphas and Omegas will gather in a Great Feast on Thursday evening. This medieval-style banquet, the most anticipated event of the week, includes costumes, dinner, games, humor, and dancing.

Price. Day camp starts at $250. If you are a returning camper, you can receive 50% OFF your registration when you bring a friend who has never been to a week of camp at Donegal. Other discounts are also available. Register now for a summer filled with all the excitement and growth a summer at Camp Donegal brings. Camps are available for K-12th graders.
