Krislund Camp and Conference Center 2000


Krislund means "Christ's Land"


If you're looking for a summer camp which offers a pioneer lifestyle, Christ, and a lot of FUN, you've come to the right place!
Krislund Camp has been around since 1963 and is still running strong. The past couple of years have been a metamorphosis stage for Krislund, but it's blossoming into something quite unique. History of Krislund


Each camp is 6 days and 6 nights except for Children's Mini Camp and Family Camp. Campers arrive at Krislund Sunday afternoon and stay until Saturday morning. During pickup on Saturday, parents are invited to breakfast for a "Shalom Meal."

Many different camps are provided by Krislund, as follows:

Name of CampNumber of Weeks Offered

Children's Mini Camp4

Prices and ages are discussed on the individual pages.



Quickie Overview

Krislund was originally for campers in grades 3-12, but in past years has expanded to cover 1st graders through adults.

The Food

Every meal except supper (which is over open flame via the campers) is served in the accomidating RC. The kitchen crew, under supervision of a head cook, provides nutritious meals. (I personally vouch for their tastiness.) In case of food allergies, please indicate such on the application form.

The Nurse

There is always a nurse who lives on camp property. Each week there is usually a different nurse who lives in a backroom of the poolhouse. Each camper is required to bring a medical form (which will be sent out by the camp prior to the week of camp attending).

Where on Earth is Krislund?

The Krislund Camp brochure states this about the location of camp: "Krislund is located in the Nittany mountains, 99 miles north of Harrisburg, PA, 23 miles east of State College, PA (home of Penn State University Main Campus), 40 miles west of Lewisburg, PA and 38 miles south of Williamsport, PA.
