Looking for an excursion during your stay at Camp Hebron? After you've enjoyed activities such as hiking our scenic trails and enjoying a trail ride on horseback, check out these fantastic options nearby: 

1. Lake Tobias - Nestled in the quiet country-side just 15 minutes from Camp Hebron, Lake Tobias resounds with the sights and sounds of the jungles and grasslands of six continents. You'll enjoy Safari tours, a great petting zoo and plenty of creepy reptiles.  

2. Ned Smith Center - 20 minutes North of Camp Hebron you'll find the Ned Smith Center for Nature & Art, which hosts several impressive art galleries, an extensive trail network, and a variety of cultural events. 

3. Millersburg Ferry - When you're finished at Ned Smith, take a quick 5 minute drive to the river, where you'll find the oldest transportation system in Pennsylvania: the Millersburg Ferry Boat. Drive your car right onto the Ferry and take an enjoyable ride across the Susquehanna. 

4. Golf or Ski - Willing to travel a few extra miles? Take a scenic 25 minute drive north and you'll find yourself enjoying the links at Lykens Valley Golf Resort, located in a picturesque country setting just north of Millersburg. When the weather turns cold, head south instead to Roundtop Mountain Resort for great skiing and snowboarding. 

5. Harrisburg Senators - Take in a baseball game at Metro Bank Park on Harrisburg City Island, a quick 30 minute drive from Camp Hebron. It's going, going, gone!!!

6. Sky Zone Trampoline Park - Youth groups & children of all ages will enjoy this indoor trampoline park in Harrisburg, PA, about a half hour away from Camp.
