Rev. Barry and Joni Robison believe in the power of camp and retreat ministry. They write: We think you would agree, for anyone who has attended camp or has had a loved one attend, the experiences at camp change lives! Not only in their own lives, but by a ripple effect, others are touched. Whether as a child, youth or adult, God meets us there in a special place – His Holy Grounds. Because of this, we remain committed to and supportive of the camping program, having seen the tremendous spiritual impact camp has made in the lives of hundreds of people over the years. To God be the glory!
Join with camp and retreat folks and supporters of camp and retreat ministry for an evening of inspiration, fun, and generosity at our Third Camp Fancy Gala on Saturday, September 7th at Central Penn College Conference Center in Summerdale, PA. The event begins with registration, bidding on Silent Auction Items, and the opportunity to purchase camp merchandise at 4 PM.
Learn more about the event, purchase your tickets, become an event sponsor, learn more about our honorees, and stay up to date by visiting the event website.

“For instance, the white pine that stands by the lake. Tall & dense, it’s a whistling crest on windy mornings. Otherwise, it’s silent. It looks over the lake & it looks up the road. I don’t mean it has eyes. It has long bunches of needles, five to each bundle. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.”

It’s a beautiful fall we’re having here at The Forest… 🍂
