Our Programs
At Crystal Lake Camps, our small camp size is the keystone of our program. Campers and Adult/Family guests receive individualized care and thrive in a family atmosphere where they are encouraged to try new things and grow in their practice of Christian Science. We offer programs for all ages and interests, and during the summertime, we have staff and campers from all over the world!
// About Us
Endless Opportunities For A Lifetime Of Memories
Crystal Lake Camps is a Christian Science camp located in the Endless Mountains of north-central Pennsylvania. The property spans over 960 acres of wooded land and includes two lakes, Crystal and Wild Rice. The Girls and Boys Camps together, located on opposite sides of Alford Hall, have a capacity of 100 campers, which gives Crystal Lake a small family feeling.
Summer Jobs / Internships
CLC provides an environment in which staff develop as strong, skillful individuals. The character development and spiritual growth demonstrated at camp ensures workforce readiness for any career path. Our staff are given a variety of opportunities to meet challenges on their own, to manage and work with others from differing backgrounds and perspectives, and live Christian Science!
From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy page 258: 13-15 —
“God expresses in man the infinite idea forever developing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from a boundless basis.”
“Dios expresa en el hombre la idea infinita desarrollàndose a sì misma para siempre, ampliàndose y elevàndose màs y màs desde una base ilimitada.”
“GOTT bringt im Menschen die unendliche Idee zum Ausdruck, die sich unauflhörlich entwickelt, sich erweitert und von einer grenzenlosen Basis aus höher und höher steigt.”
“Dieu exprime en l'homme l'idée infinie qui se développe à jamais, et qui, partant d'une base illimitée, s'élargit et s'élève de plus en plus.”
"Deus expressa no homem a ideia infinita que perpetuamente se revela, se expande e se eleva cada vez mais, procedendo de uma base sem limites."
