A big round of applause to Brittany, our Team Member of the Month! Since May 2022, Brittany has been brightening up the Spruce Lake kitchen as Food Service Cook. Her kindness, humility, determination, and delicious quesadillas are just a small fraction of what makes her a wonderful addition to the team. Thank you for promoting positivity within our ministry, Brittany. You’re a superstar! 🌟 #WatchGodWork #Ministry #YouthMinistry #PoconoMountains #Poconos #Gospel #SpruceLakeRetreat #StaffSpotlight #Pinebrook

About us
Are you a youth worker, pastor, or nonprofit leader looking for a new location for your group’s next retreat? Consider hosting your retreat at Spruce Lake Retreat. Located on over 800 acres of beautiful woodlands in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania, Spruce Lake makes planning and leading a retreat simple. We take care of accommodations and meals for your group, so you just have to focus on the activities and spending more time with your group. Your group will love exploring our trails and finding streams and waterfalls. Or play some of your favorite games — like basketball, dodgeball, tennis, gaga, soccer, and more. If they are feeling adventurous, let your group try our high ropes course, vertical playpen, climbing tower, or 500-foot zip line. Looking for a conference center for a church, business, or denominational event? Our Spruce Lodge is a full-service conference center. With hotel and motel style accommodations for up to 600 participants, flexible meeting spaces, and buffet-style dining, your entire event can happen on Spruce Lake property. That means your guests will be raving about your conference and the beautiful mountaintop location. And we are only a few hours from New York, Philadelphia, and Delaware, making it easy for participants to arrive here. In addition to our retreat and conference center, we host hundreds of children for week-long summer camp. Kids age 7-18 can enjoy playing games, swimming in our pool, building lasting relationships, and learning more about Jesus Christ. Founded in 1963, Spruce Lake exists to help people enjoy God’s creation and to point them toward Christ. We are a member of the Christian Camp & Conference Association (CCCA) and the Mennonite Camping Association (MCA). Visit our website or give us call to find out how affordable it is to host your next event at Spruce Lake.

Thank you to Lowell W. Ehst for the gift of this beautiful, hand-carved eagle; from May 2023 to March 2024, Lowell devoted over 1,000 hours to crafting this work of art. It’s perfect for our Isaiah 40:31 theme verse: “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they shall soar on wings like eagles.” You can see it on display in the lobby of Spruce Lodge! 🦅 #WatchGodWork #Ministry #YouthMinistry #PoconoMountains #Poconos #Gospel #SpruceLakeRetreat

If you’ve ever had a meal at Spruce Lake, you’ve probably met Liz and her bubbly personality! Liz was hired as a Hostess in April 2018. She goes out of her way to ensure a wonderful Dining Room experience. Her energy, friendliness, and smile are contagious. If you want to strike up a conversation, she loves to chat about the latest news in Women’s Basketball! Thank you for all you do, Liz! 🏀 🏷️ #WatchGodWork #Poconos #PoconoMountains #Ministry #YouthMinistry #ChristianCamp #BibleCamp #SummerCamp #SpruceLakeRetreat #Pinebrook #StaffSpotlight #EmployeeSpotlight
