Pocono Mountains Christian Summer Camp & Retreat Centre

PMBC runs three main things: youth summer camps, youth winter camps, and group retreats. Summer camp is week-long and overnight, for children aged 8 to 17, at $400 per week. First-time campers pay half that, a $200 discount. Winter camp is two weekends, also for ages 8 to 17, at 25 per weekend, again with 50% off for first-timers. Group retreats run from one day to a week and are priced on inquiry depending on the group.

The camp is a Christian facility, and the programme includes Bible-led lessons alongside the outdoor activities. The site is surrounded by hiking trails, overlooks, and water for fishing, rafting and canoeing. Groups can use PMBC as a home base and head off campus for day trips, or stay on site and use what is there.

The location puts it within driving distance of Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Binghamton, Philadelphia and New York City. Nearby options include ski slopes at Big Boulder, Montage, Camelback and Elk Mountain; family fun parks such as Costa's, Lahey, 940 Golf N' Fun and Claws 'N' Paws Wild Animal Park; water parks at Camelback, Kalahari, Montage and Costa's; and shopping at The Shoppes at Montage, The Mall at Steamtown and Pocono Premium Outlets.

The page does not list a daily schedule, instructor names, room types, or specific departure dates. It also does not state a maximum group size or capacity. What it does state clearly is the pricing, the age range for youth camps, and the fact that retreats can be booked for anything from a day to a week.

PMBC also runs discount programmes and accepts donations to support its ministry, described on the page as "Give. Pray. Serve." and "Support Life Change."
