Camp Hebron is a year round Christian Camp and retreat center located on the side of Peters Mountain in Powell's valley, just 20 miles north of Harrisburg, PA. Camp Hebron covers 340 acres, including large tracts of undeveloped woodland with hiking and nature trails. Scenery ranges from peaceful woodland scenes to beautiful mountain vistas on the famous Appalachian Trail which borders the camp.

Camp Hebron's vision is to be a Christ-centered sanctuary where people find renewal and growth through recreation, teaching and fellowship in God's creation. The camp is holy ground located on the other side of the mountain, a world away. Whether you are here for a retreat, summer camp or with a rental group, it is a great place to quiet yourself and hear God's voice.

Camp Hebron was founded in 1957 by a group of Lancaster County Mennonites who had a vision for a camping ministry geared toward urban youth in the Harrisburg/Lancaster/Reading vicinity. They located a site on the North side of Peters Mountain in beautiful Powell's Valley, took a step of faith and Camp Hebron was born. In the early 60s the camp built cabins and expanded the focus to include children from the various Mennonite churches. In the early 70s the Sylvan View Retreat Center was built to accommodate ministry to families and church groups. Over the years the clientele has expanded to include many Christian denominations and all age groups. The facility has grown and expanded to now include four camping areas to meet a variety of tastes and styles including tent camping, shelters, cabins and motel-like rooms. While much has changed over the years, the initial vision to be a place where all people can come to know Jesus in a personal and profound way while enjoying Christian fellowship and the beautiful natural creation has remained constant.

More than 30 committed Christians are employed in year-round ministry, with an additional 65 persons joining the staff for the summer program.

As a nonprofit Christian organization, Camp Hebron desires to be a Christ-centered place where lives are changed. It is owned by the Camp Hebron Association consisting of over 600 members who support the ministry with time, finances, and direction. The Board of Directors, consisting of nine men and women serve three-year terms as elected from the Association membership.

We welcome diversity and enjoy interacting with persons from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and experiences. Each year about 3,500 individuals attend the camp's programs with many more enjoying the beautiful setting through facility rentals. In light of the fact that Camp Hebron is a dedicated Christian ministry, we do reserve the right to decline requests for facilities to groups whose purpose is inconsistent with Camp Hebron’s expressed mission and purpose.
