“The kids always enjoy themselves at Refreshing Mountain during our Annual Youth retreat for our AWANAN organization. Also, the teens and adults manage to have a great time. The staff is friendly and courteous. The love of God is reflected in their customer service toward our entire group. The amenities are in great condition and they continue to add new things every year. Thank you all for being such gracious hosts. The kids look forward to coming every year. ”

“I am in my 50’s and this was my first time zip lining. At first I was nervous but I turned out to be the daredevil of the group going backward and hanging upside down. Matt and Michael were fantastic guides and I would recommend this to anyone. What a wonderful Christ based organization this is. ”

“I just wanted to let you all know how much Brooklyn Miracle Temple enjoyed there say at the camp. Mister B was a great help and guide at our stay at the retreat. We actually took his advice and started to listen and hear each person in our groups ideas. All the staff from the zipline course to the paintballs activity and the lunch and pool team staff was so helpful . We just wanted to say thanks. And my God give you your heart desires over your business.”

“We had an AWESOME time today on the Canopy Zipline Tour. Staff was very helpful and encouraging. Surely an exhilarating time. Very clean and safe ! Looking forward to next time. ”

“Just got home today from spending an amazing weekend at your camp with our Churches youth group. I want to thank ALL the staff at Refreshing Mountain for doing an awesome job with the kids, everyone was so friendly and helpful. The staff on your ropes course do a great job of encouraging the kids and make everyone, even me, feel like they could over come their fears. And your kitchen staff is incredible at cooking great meals and always serving with a smile. I also need to mention a staff person named Mary from the kitchen, she stopped from her busy schedule to take the time to pray with me for a student and for all the kids in our group. I was so touched by her, the Holy Spirit shines so beautifully in her. So thank you Refreshing Mountain Camp for a very enjoyable weekend, I pray I can return again someday!!”

“On behalf of our AmeriCorps members and the planning team, thank you for everything at Refreshing Mountain last week. Everyone enjoyed their stay; the meeting room was a great size and the Lodges were wonderful and clean. Everyone enjoyed the food and the kitchen staff was very friendly and very accommodating to our restricted dietary folks. You have a great site and grounds – truly was refreshing!”

“We have been coming to Refreshing Mountain for the last nine years and will continue to come back. The staff are great to work with and the accommodations are awesome. From beginning to end it is always a pleasure to come to Refreshing Mountain.”

“Refreshing Mountain is Just That! What a wonderful time we had. We went on a zip lining excursion with Mr. B and Brandon and had a fantastic time. I would have “chickened” out on the challenge course, but Mr. B pushed us and we all found that we could do it. Even my 9 year old nephew! The resort is very well kept and in great shape and the area is beautiful. I did not know it was here in my back yard! I will definitely be going more often. I definitely give this place 4 Stars and a Must visit to all!”

“This was our first time at Refreshing Mountain. The campus is beautiful peaceful and clean. The rooms were very pleasant. This is one of the best facilities we have used.”

“Thanks so much for all your help yesterday. We all really enjoyed spending time up at Refreshing Mountain Camp. The lunch was delicious, please do give a special thank you to the chef as well. The team leaders were all very professional and fun to work with. Overall, a very positive experience from our perspective. We’ll definitely spread the word about your camp, and hopefully we’ll get to come up there again.”

“Your facility gives our ministry room to grow for years to come…that is a plus for us! But you also provide an opportunity for us not only to exercise our spiritual and emotional well being but our physical well being :)”

“Everything was great and the staff was awesome especially the ones that did our team building activities. The staff member who did our evening team building event did a great job connecting with the girls.”

“The staff were very helpful. In talking with them, I learned about some of the philosophy used in leading the group and working with the group dynamics. We enjoyed having the smaller number of students in each group. With the elementary age kids, it allowed our sometimes overly zealous children to have a fuller experience. I was very impressed and would bring our kids back again.”

“The site is beautiful and peaceful. The staff is really friendly. I loved the facilities, there’re very neat and clean. The youth enjoyed the fact of having so many things available.”

“We like the staff and crew of the campsite. They are very friendly and accommodating. Also, the campsite is very flexible to our needs. Blessing indeed to have held our camp here.”

“I was looking for a place that we could relax and enjoy GOD creation .Keep doing the work of the LORD he is smiling at you . May the Lord bless you. We really enjoy the teambuilding with Mr. B he was excellent . Please give him our love and tell him to keep letting GOD use him .”

“{Refreshing Mountain has} become, our Place” for Retreats. We love the facilities – especially loved having Himrosa Hall and Meeting Room G this year. Most especially, we have established a wonderful a relationship with the Harnish family. Suzanne is gracious, knowledgeable, and helpful – always! All the staff was terrific! We enjoy reconnecting with Suzanne and Sunny each year.”

“Wow! What a wonderful, restful time we had. The cabin was very clean and it was truly a refreshing time! The staff was very kind and helpful! Thank you for a wonderful holiday get-a-way!! We enjoyed Refreshing Mountain so very much!!!”

“I would recommend refreshing mountain to anyone who wants to experience zip lining! Our whole group had a blast! The staff we had with us was absolutely amazing!! They made the experience there so much fun! They were kind, outgoing, and friendly! They made you feel comfortable even if you aren’t a fan of heights! I can’t wait to go back again to try out the other courses!!”

“It was so nice. I learned so much more about Jesus and was drawn closer to God and friends.”

“We had a fantastic time. It was my grandsons first real camping trip. We did the Explorer package with Diana who knew a lot about rock climbing, very personable and energetic. We had a blast with the paintball. The next day we did the 7 Zipline course with David and Ryan. We felt very safe with them. They explained everything that was going on and were very professional along with having a good time with us. We fed off their enthusiasm. We would definitely recommend Refreshing Mountain. Lots of things to do, great pool, playground, farm animals, all kinds of sports.”

“During a recent visit to my parents my Mother decided to finally fulfill her desire to Zip Line at Refreshing Mountain and I was happy to tag along. The atmosphere is truly “Refreshing” and the people were extremely patient and calming…We were both thrilled with our experience however would have loved to do one more line. The Two lines of the Flying V is great but a third line would give you greater appreciation of the experience. ABSOLUTELY WORTH WHILE!!!”

“My 10 yr old son asked to go zip lining for his “adventure” birthday gift. So I took my son & girlfriend for the challenge course of 5 zip lines and 9 obstacle courses. We had a BLAST! Our two guides were incredible! One of them was able to talk my son through one of the obstacle courses he got nervous.”

“What a beautiful place to experience Zip Lines & 9 Obstacles!! Visiting here from MA & NJ & wanted to visit Refreshing Mountain. Easy to register on line & various date & time options available.Our guide,Mark who is Director was outstanding with his directions & patience!! Felt safe & never forced to do anything not comfortable with. We had a great time & plan to visit again. ”

“We have come to Refreshing Mountain 4 times over the past year and it is always an awesome experience. We have done the aerial excursions which are a blast. The guides are very professional and adapt to all levels. I am a fearful novice and my kids are daredevils with climbing experience. We were all challenged and well care for. ”

“We booked the Aerial Excursion for the full zip line adventure and we couldn’t have been more pleased! The Zip lines were fun and our tour guides (Gil and Maddie) were exceptional. We had a small group and were entertained, having fun and laughing the entire time! Great experience. Amazing time had by all!!”

“My husband and I did the Elevated Obstacle Course during on 19-year Anniversary Getaway and it was so much fun! Scary and an adrenaline rush but we both made it through (him much better than I!) Highly recommend to anyone going to Lancaster with or without children!!”
