Family Camp 2026: Friday, July 17 – Sunday, July 26
We invite your whole family to 10 days of worship, recreation, rest, time with friends, and Mahaffey Camp Milkshakes! Family Camp features worship services for youth and adults in the Main Tabernacle. We provide services and activities throughout the day for children of all ages. Family Camp is a cherished tradition that began in 1894. Join us to draw closer to the Lord and build memories that will last for generations.
Mahaffey Camp is set in the foothills of Pennsylvania on a 45-acre campus. During Family Camp, we provide meals at our Dining Hall and Camp Store. Recreational areas include a playground, various sports fields, a Creation Center, and a children’s obstacle course. Lodging includes over two hundred privately owned cottages, dorms, longhouses, RVs, and tent sites. Contact the camp office at (814) 277-5544 to reserve a spot!
