Located in East Bradford Township, we are fortunate to have 600 acres of scenic natural resources to enjoy and explore. Using our unique surroundings, we encourage children to open their eyes to the wonders of the outdoors and the possibilities of their own potential. From our five year-olds, all the way up to our teens, every camper receives

a positive outdoor experience.

All day long, your child will be trekking through a day filled with fun and engaging activities. Learning to fish, paddling a canoe, shooting a bow and arrow, mastering a swim stroke and scaling a rock wall are some of the

valuable lessons your child may receive from us.

Our staff members are a caring, diverse and professional team of individuals. They are trained to teach, guide and participate with the children in all of the activities. Our programs are designed to maintain at least a 1:6 counselor/camper ratio at all times. As youth development professionals, our staff understand their roles as models and mentors to your children.

Our top priority is the health, safety and well-being of your children.

“We encourage children to open their eyes to the wonders of the outdoors

and the possibilities of their own potential”

“Our daughter has been going since she was 5 or 6. The leadership skills she is showing outside of the camp because of this program are astounding. I hear endless stories of her positive experiences with her friends and counselors. She has referred

to this camp as like family many times. Thank you for giving her a second family.” - Parents of a Teen Camper

“Our family is beyond thrilled with PFC. I have never seen my daughter so happy as I did this past summer. She rushed me out the door every morning to get to camp early.

The selection of counselors is top notch and impacts everything.” - Mother of a Junior Camper

“Because it is the greatest camp. I am confident that my children are getting intentional programming with excellent staff and leadership.”

- Mother of Day Campers
