FAITH FORMED. MEMORIES MADE. GOD GLORIFIED.


Effective today, July 24, 2025,

our pool and splash pad area is closed until further notice due to electrical current in the water.  While the persisting problem does not present a danger to people, it has caused our equipment to malfunction, resulting in low-to-no levels of the necessary chemicals needed to safely allow people to use our pool area.  We have been working to resolve this issue for a matter of weeks, including professional services from electricians.  We are working on a solution to bring the pool area up to operation for the rest of the season, as soon as possible. 

We are sorry for this inconvenience.  Please check back for updates!


Camp Swatara is excited to announce openings For year-round staff opportunities!
