In 2025, Camp Friedenswald celebrated 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.
Throughout the year we honored this important milestone and recognized the ways that Camp Friedenswald has had a positive impact in the lives of so many people, families, congregations, and beyond.
While 2025 is past, we’re still collecting memories and reflections. You can help us celebrate by sharing your story with us below.
