In 2025, Camp Friedenswald celebrates its 75th anniversary since the first cabins were built and the vision of a “camp ground of our own” began to take shape. In 1951, the first campers arrived for a summer in the peaceful woods.
Join us throughout the coming year as we honor this important milestone and recognize the ways that Camp Friedenswald has had a positive impact in the lives of so many people, families, congregations, and beyond.
You can help us celebrate by sharing your story with us below.
