Pennsylvania Family Retreat 4

October 20, 2025 - October 24, 2025

Hosted by Joni and Friends Pennsylvania, this Family Retreat is designed to serve families living with disability. In a fully accessible camp environment, families are cared for, rejuvenated, and encouraged in Christ. Come enjoy a fun, Christ-centered environment that is safe and accepting for each member of the family. During this time of respite, you will build lasting memories and find renewed hope as you take part in Bible study, accessible activities, and opportunities to connect with other families who face similar challenges. Join us for a time of fun and refreshment!

This fourth week of Pennsylvania Family Retreat, held every year at the Spruce Lake Retreat Center in Pennsylvania’s beautiful Pocono Mountains, serves families with adult children (over 21 years old) living with disability in a fun, accessible, Christ-centered environment.

Come build lasting memories and friendships as you worship, study God’s Word, and enjoy accessible activities—from hiking and games to marshmallow roasting—with other families who understand the challenges of life with disability.
