We offer Family Camp for families of special needs children. We also offer aides or caregivers the option to attend camps with the campers for a fee.

Our camper-to-counselor ratio changes each session to provide maximum support to our campers. Our sessions accommodate all special needs. We offer Family Camps for the entire family to attend with their child.

Financial Assistance Available

Campers may receive funding by contacting their local Lions Club for sponsorship. Public and private service agencies also provide funding to some campers.

We strive to balance each meal with healthy options and fresh produce. Most allergies can be accommodated with prior notice. Campers that need a specialized diet, such as gluten-free food must bring their own speciality items.

We are funded primarily by donations and are sponsored by the Pennsylvania Lions as a state project. During our camping season, we operate as a full-service summer camp for children and adults living with a variety of special needs. During the off-season, Beacon Lodge is open for public rentals. We are available as a conference center for businesses and other organizations, an educational and informational facility for PA residents, a rental camp for other special needs organizations and non-profits, or simply for a group of people that wish to get away for a day trip or a weekend in the country. Beacon Lodge also serves as a beautiful location for your indoor or outdoor wedding needs. Opportunities here are endless.

Our sessions typically start on Saturday and vary in length from 6 days to 11 days. The camper-to-counselor ratio changes each week depending on the needs of our campers. Our highest ratio is 6:1, lowest is 3:1 For information or an application please visit our website www.beaconlodge.org or call 814-542-2511 for more information.
