About Us
New Life Bible Camp is located in the southwestern corner of Pennsylvania. The purpose of New Life is to establish, maintain, operate and conduct a Christ centered camp to the glory of God. During the Fall, Winter, and Spring we welcome church groups on most weekends. During the week, New Life is available for Christian Schools to come away for a week day retreat. I invite you to consider New Life Bible Camp for your spiritual emphasis retreat. New Life is where your group may relax and enjoy God's creation while experiencing exciting spiritual renewal. There is plenty of room to hike, play, and enjoy the Lord's handiwork all around. The camp facilities contain modern cooking and recreation facilities, along with many beautiful and rustic areas for Bible Study and group events.

Planning Your Retreat
Many of the groups that come to New Life throughout the year plan their own program. 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.
