We rented the main lodge for our Cub Scout Pack winter camp. We had plenty of space for our 26 kids and 8 adults.

We had plenty of space for our 26 kids and 8 adults. The kitchen was furnished with everything we needed to feed our large group for the weekend. The check in and out process was super easy. The staff that met us was very helpful. We had access to the entire camp and was able to take our kiddos on a hike around the camp and even got to do a lost hiker drill with the older scouts. We were lucky to get a couple inches of snow, no better way to top off a winter camp experience. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful facility just outside of Benton, PA. Many nights and weekends spent here with our scouting units. The staff run a great program for scouts and cubbies teaching them applicable skills for everday life. Camp is in an ideal location to Rickett's Glenn State Park and other recreation areas. Lots of visitors stop to use just the creek for fishing as well.

Wine festival. Not a wine drinker, but lots of good tasting wines, and great tasting moonshine! Had a pleasant time. Good food, good music, and good tastes.
