A Guest Retreat at New Life Bible Camp

If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy God's creation while experiencing exciting spiritual renewal, look no further, New Life Bible Camp is the place.

Located on 140 acres in Southwestern Pennsylvania, New Life operates a retreat season during the Fall, Winter, and Spring, serving churches and youth groups from August through May. New Life's full time staff is available to help you formulate a program that will best meet the needs of your group of 20 to 100 people. Whether preparing meals, speaking, leading music, or leading activities, we can tailor our program to fulfill a variety of retreat goals.

If there is no available weekends, he will be glad to add your group to the waiting list and will make contact whenever a weekend does come available. Also e-mail him to request additional information and/or to receive a registration form.

Registration & Costs:

After an available weekend is secured that fits your adult or youth program, submit application, along with a non-refundable registration fee of $150.00 (deduct $100 from this fee if New Life will be providing meals for your group) and a guarantee deposit of $250.00. At the end of the retreat, you will have two weeks to decide if you wish to re-schedule for the next year. You will have the first choice to reserve the same weekend you had for the next year, but we cannot hold past two weeks without a new application and the registration fee. For a midweek retreat, we require a non-refundable registration fee of $50.00 and a guarantee deposit of $100.00. New Life suggests a gift of $35.00 per person for the weekend. For mid-week retreats, a suggested gift of $15 per person for the 1st night and $10.00 per person for the second night, each additional night beyond that will be $5.00 per person. Discounts are available for young children that come with families.

Planning Your Retreat:

Many of the groups that come to New Life through out the year plan their own program. But often the staff of New Life are asked to help prepare and to implement the program on the behalf of the retreat group. New Life staff members are ready to plan an exciting program and share sound, fundamental Biblical truth with your group. We encourage you to utilize our full time workers in for Bible teaching, worship leading, activities and even helping with meal preparation. Think of New Life as your Retreat Buffet, use us as you would like. Each retreat does have the freedom to plan their own program, but we do ask that your speaker agree with New Life Bible Camp's Statement of Faith.

Accomodations:

The Main Lodge has a dining room and meeting room that accomodate up to 100 people. The gameroom is also located on the first floor of the Main Lodge. In the beautiful log-cabin style lodge is dormitory style rooms where your group will be sleeping. There are three separate dorm areas in the Main Lodge which sleeps a total of 76 people. Bathroom and shower facilities are located in these three sections. The Nana's Nest dorms have two rooms with 9 beds each with a bathroom for each dorm. The A-frame dorm sleeps 15 with a bathroom attached. We are not able to accommodate any pets.
