Camp Timberledge Retreats

Camp Timberledge is nestled on 280-acres of woodland and lakes in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. This setting provides an intimate setting, close to nature, for small to mid-sized Christian retreats and meetings (64 guest capacity, May – October; 22 guest capacity, November – April).

Relaxation, Fellowship, and Recreation: Spend time in meditation, enjoy a good book, conversation, the warmth of a wood-burning fire and relaxing table games. Witness forest wildlife, trees, and flowers, experience lake fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Explore portions of the three miles of well-marked hiking trails. Download our Trail Map. Enjoy mountain biking (bring your own bikes and safety equipment), cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. There is also basketball, softball, volleyball, and ping pong. The 20 acre Timberledge Lake is well-stocked with pickerel, bass, catfish, and bluegills, and is great for fishing.  When the lake freezes each winter, guests can try ice fishing and ice skating. Fishing equipment is not provided. A Pennsylvania fishing license is required for guests age 16 and older. Check Here for license information.
