đź’š Why Do Kids Need Camp? Because Camp Teaches Teamwork đź’š

At Camp Johnsonburg, we believe in the power of community—and teamwork is at the heart of it all. From day one, campers are invited into a space where working together isn't just encouraged—it's essential. Whether they're solving team-building challenges, keeping their cabin clean to win the sought after Platinum Toilet Seat, or choosing which grace to sing before a meal (we see you, Chocolate Cake Grace 🎶🍰), campers learn that they're stronger together.
Through these shared experiences, kids begin to understand that asking for help, leaning on others, and working as a team isn’t just okay—it’s the key to building something meaningful.

Here, teamwork builds trust, confidence, and friendships that last well beyond campfire nights.

Dear friends,

Greetings from the Presbytery of Lackawanna and the Camp Lackawanna Administrative Commission! As you may be aware, the Presbytery voted in November 2024 to create an Administrative Commission to determine the future of the Camp, as the Presbytery has found itself without the resources and personnel to effectively run the Camp. As the Administrative Commission continues to do its work, we are announcing that there will be no summer program held at Camp Lackawanna for the 2025 season.

That does not mean that the Camp cannot be used in the interim. We are actively encouraging and accepting rentals for the Camp, with information available on the Camp’s website. We also want to stress that this does not mean that there will not be summer camp going forward. The Commission is striving to discern what the future of the Camp will look like.

This Summer we are recommending our summer campers use Camp Johnsonburg:

Johnsonburg Camp and Retreat Center is a non-profit, Presbyterian camp and retreat center that offers memorable New Jersey overnight Christian summer camp programs. Over the 60+ year history, the camp has been counted as one of New Jersey's most beloved summer camp and Christian retreat centers. All are welcome.

Located in the northwest region of New Jersey’s beautiful highlands, Johnsonburg Camp and Retreat Center is a place where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds are welcomed to experience God in a serene environment. Camp Johnsonburg is located approximately 65 miles from Scranton, PA.

Scholarships are available from the Presbytery of Lackawanna based on need.

Peace and Blessings,

Rev. Scott DeCaro
Lackawanna Presbytery Stated Clerk
