I took my grandson for the first time to Refreshing Mt. to ride the zip line and do the obstacle course. What a time he had! It was a great experience. Our grandson is almost ten, but he was able to do level one and two of the course. Level three was a little too high for him. He had no issues with the zip line other than he was a little scared. The staff was so good, and I felt that he was watched and kept safe! Love this place!

Staff was extremely friendly. Facility was clean. Awesome that you can bring your own food in. It costs $10-$15 per person for us to go to our local community pool. 5 of us went to Refreshing Mountain for a total of $22.50 and had a great time.

Excellent experience for all 3 kids(1-8 yrs & 2-12 yrs old kids)The wildlife experience tour was very informative and we all loved the all the animals, we got to see and touch...not Regina the phyton! Youngest in our group was so amazed. The 2 12yrs old went on the challenge zip lining and obstacle course. They loved it and want to come back to do nighttime zip lining in the fall. The instructors were very helpful and kind to them. The camp grounds are well kept and such a beautiful pool. Lots of activities to do. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Pennsylvania. Thank you all for such an amazing time!

We did the 7 zip line adventure and we had a blast. It was great having an employee up there with us. We also participated in the wildlife tour and got to be hands on with some of the critters. They have a bunch of different things to do and a place to eat. I definitely recommend a visit!

Zip line was short but fun. I loved the obstacle course! It was the right amount of challenging for me. The guy in the reptile house seemed knowledgeable and it was neat to see a black phase timber rattlesnake up close.
Wanda Engram
22:29 06 Aug 22
Zip lining with hubby. The zip lining experience was really incredible. On the other hand we thought we were ready for the challenge level obstacle course, but couldn’t get passed the 2nd half. Can’t wait to do it again. Next time we will conquer!! Must check it out! whether by yourself, couples or group of friends looking for adventurous fun or to challenge yourself must do.

We decided to go to Refreshing Mountain Camps pool. Here you have to make reservations to go which is nice because it keeps the crowds down. The kids enjoyed the water slide and the sprinkler area. The camp around it is beautiful to and good place to stay if you are visiting Lancaster County. It's kind of far from everything worth it. Highly recommend taking a dip here on a hot day.

GREAT DAY!!!!! My son and I did the 7 course zip line and it was amazing! It was his first time and seeing him face his fears and “jump” out of his comfort zone was an amazing experience. We felt safe and everyone was so sweet. Kelly and Liz were GREAT guides and the Nature Center was so personal and so much fun! Stop here NOW!

We visited your site on August 1st. My family completed the Challenge Adventure tour. The tour had several difficult tree skills as well as zip lining. We had a terrific time and our two leaders Kelly and Zach were wonderful working with our children. I highly recommend this location if you are looking for a little adventure and fun!

This is our 2nd stay at Refreshing Mountain Resorts and I can honestly say there will be many more to come :-)Firstly, it's super easy to book cabins, rooms and activities, provided you do it early like anything else. The office staff is great and they make everything from check-in to check-out quick and enjoyable. Phil is an absolute gem, however, and goes out of his way to make everyone happy. It's people like him that make us want to return.We love the spacious and comfy cabins being right in the middle of nature and all the nearby adventures/activities.We recommend the adventure and activity packages especially zip lining (ages 5 and up). Last year, our 4 yr old daughter couldn't do many of the "fun stuff" and was so disappointed, but just last week, she did 7 zip lines along with all 3 levels of the obstacle course and loved every one of them! (I will confess that a few of the obstacles were a bit tough for a 5yr old) and I'd recommend you know your child's strength/confidence/agility before booking the 2nd and 3rd level course.My wife and I must mention a few other names who helped make our experience even more wonderful:Kelly and Peyton were our Zip Line & Obstacle Course guides. They're friendly, funny, knowledgeable and very informative with all of their experience. We remembered Kelly from Rock Climbing last year and she's just amazing!Patrick was our guide at the Wildlife Animal Sanctuary. He was fantastic teaching us so much about the animals and answering all our questions about them. His fun facts about each animal are worth the short tour alone. Go check him out before he makes it big on National Geographic or YouTube or something 😁Joel was our host for the 2 Escape Rooms we did with our family and friends last year and this year. Hands down, the guy is a genius and not only created the rooms with a fun/mysterious perspective, but also has really cool facts about each of the rooms and we can't wait to check out the outdoor room they're building soon!!The large pools, fire pits (behind each cabin), walks around the pond, farm animals, and strolls to and from the cabins are all great memories for any family or group of friends. Drinks, shakes, iced coffees, ice cream and everything in Cafe319 is perfect, although if I was to upgrade anything, it would be the food in the Cafe. But hey, not going to complain as we do dinners in the many areas just minutes away.In summary, I'm happy we can all get out of the house, travel just a couple hours and immerse ourselves into a new and fun environment. I definitely recommend Refreshing Mountain Resorts and will be back next year if not for Christmas!

I took my two granddaughters to Refreshing Mountain swimming pool and they had a great time. Reservations and payment for the time slot was very smooth. I was very impressed with the lifeguards on duty; they were very focused on their areas and clearly management took steps to give lifeguards frequent breaks so they could be focused.

I took my 2 grandsons, ages 8 and 10, to do the Fun 5 package. It was a wonderful, fun day, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. My only suggestion concerns the time constraint. We were given 2 hours to do the zip line, elevated obstacle course, peddle carts, wildlife center, and farm animals. That is not enough time. We got stuck behind someone in another group who froze on the obstacle course. No one could go around her so we all had to wait. It took about 20 - 30 minutes to get her through. Therefore, it was almost 11 by the time we got to the peddle carts, and the wildlife center was closed. It was very disappointing. However, we were given free passes to the pool to make up for it, which we really appreciated! We all had a wonderful time and highly recommend it!

Refreshing Mountain is a great retreat center and place to stay! Tried the cabin for two nights and also did the aerial excursion zip line tour. Both were great experiences. The cabin was well accommodated with amenities and the zip line tour was thrilling (I’d rate it at a moderate difficulty with the highest point being about 70ft). Also got to try the animal farm where you can feed the animals there. The camp did have a lot of children attending at the time which took up the ability to use the pool and basketball court on certain occasions, however this didn’t take away from the experience very much. There were plenty of things to do without even leaving the site, but there are also plenty of attractions nearby as listed in the binder provided with your stay. Overall, a great experience and would like to revisit sometime.

This was our first time here, but we certainly hope to come back to the pool. Everything was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was family-friendly. My 4 and 1 year old nephew and niece loved the huge kiddie pool, and my 11 year old niece had fun going down the cool slide. If you live in the area, definitely check out Refreshing Mountain!

What a fun place! We did the zipline and ropes course tour that took about 1 1/2 hours. The guides were so nice, knowledgeable, and helpful, especially to those that needed extra assistance. The resort is beautiful and clean. I thought it was newer but our guide said it has been around since the 1980s. I highly recommend at least a day trip, or stay a few days. It is amazing.

01:15 04 Jul 22
Wonderful experience. We went for a pool day 30 min drive but it was nice. The staff was wonderful. The children swimmed, played basketball and went to the playground. I will be planning to go back and do a weekend so we can hike and zip line. Definitely a great great family experience.

This facility is beautiful and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our ziplinine guides Maddison and Peyton were wonderful, kind and engaging. Maddison worked so hard pulling our group in and retrieving us when the line didn’t catch. She’s amazingly strong. We would recommend your facility and activities highly! Thanks for providing us with a day of birthday celebrating zip line fun!!!

My 11 year old grandson & I were at Refreshing Mt 11/6/21 for the Flying V zip line and ropes course. It was a great challenge for me and if Madelyn, on of the staff, weren't there I'd never gave made it through. She encouraged me and helped me all the way. GREAT staff!! I highly recommend this place. My grandson loved it too!

We rsvp for 10am.4 kids between ages 9 and 13 and 2 adults. We had so much fun at the ziplines and the elevated obstacle course. The first level of the obstacle course is tricky but easy, the 2nd level a little harder for us but still doable 😂. We didn't wait much in line. The staff was friendly and fast. The place was very nice and clean. The animal exhibitions were very nice as well.

We had a great experience zip lining. The ropes course slowed us down but it was challenging and fun. We definitely hope to come back and do some more zip lining!! The staff was patient and kind.

Went for zip lining, and decided to enjoy the pool afterward. Zipline instructors were very safety-conscious but extremely personable, instilling much confidence and trust with our group. Foliage is thick, but several segments had great views. Once returned to the launch point, gear was returned, and we headed to the pool. The lifeguard in the office validated our reservation. While chatting about where to change clothes, a female employee approached us, demanding to know why we were at the pool. Although I clarified that everything was fine, she continued a self-sustained argument. Sadly, this uncomfortable behavior tarnished the sincere good work of each RM employee we had interracted with on our visit.

I took my grandson for the first time to Refreshing Mt. to ride the zip line and do the obstacle course. What a time he had! It was a great experience. Our grandson is almost ten, but he was able to do level one and two of the course. Level three was a little too high for him. He had no issues with the zip line other than he was a little scared. The staff was so good, and I felt that he was watched and kept safe! Love this place!

Excellent experience for all 3 kids(1-8 yrs & 2-12 yrs old kids)The wildlife experience tour was very informative and we all loved the all the animals, we got to see and touch...not Regina the phyton! Youngest in our group was so amazed. The 2 12yrs old went on the challenge zip lining and obstacle course. They loved it and want to come back to do nighttime zip lining in the fall. The instructors were very helpful and kind to them. The camp grounds are well kept and such a beautiful pool. Lots of activities to do. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Pennsylvania. Thank you all for such an amazing time!

We decided to go to Refreshing Mountain Camps pool. Here you have to make reservations to go which is nice because it keeps the crowds down. The kids enjoyed the water slide and the sprinkler area. The camp around it is beautiful to and good place to stay if you are visiting Lancaster County. It's kind of far from everything worth it. Highly recommend taking a dip here on a hot day.

This is our 2nd stay at Refreshing Mountain Resorts and I can honestly say there will be many more to come :-)Firstly, it's super easy to book cabins, rooms and activities, provided you do it early like anything else. The office staff is great and they make everything from check-in to check-out quick and enjoyable. Phil is an absolute gem, however, and goes out of his way to make everyone happy. It's people like him that make us want to return.We love the spacious and comfy cabins being right in the middle of nature and all the nearby adventures/activities.We recommend the adventure and activity packages especially zip lining (ages 5 and up). Last year, our 4 yr old daughter couldn't do many of the "fun stuff" and was so disappointed, but just last week, she did 7 zip lines along with all 3 levels of the obstacle course and loved every one of them! (I will confess that a few of the obstacles were a bit tough for a 5yr old) and I'd recommend you know your child's strength/confidence/agility before booking the 2nd and 3rd level course.My wife and I must mention a few other names who helped make our experience even more wonderful:Kelly and Peyton were our Zip Line & Obstacle Course guides. They're friendly, funny, knowledgeable and very informative with all of their experience. We remembered Kelly from Rock Climbing last year and she's just amazing!Patrick was our guide at the Wildlife Animal Sanctuary. He was fantastic teaching us so much about the animals and answering all our questions about them. His fun facts about each animal are worth the short tour alone. Go check him out before he makes it big on National Geographic or YouTube or something 😁Joel was our host for the 2 Escape Rooms we did with our family and friends last year and this year. Hands down, the guy is a genius and not only created the rooms with a fun/mysterious perspective, but also has really cool facts about each of the rooms and we can't wait to check out the outdoor room they're building soon!!The large pools, fire pits (behind each cabin), walks around the pond, farm animals, and strolls to and from the cabins are all great memories for any family or group of friends. Drinks, shakes, iced coffees, ice cream and everything in Cafe319 is perfect, although if I was to upgrade anything, it would be the food in the Cafe. But hey, not going to complain as we do dinners in the many areas just minutes away.In summary, I'm happy we can all get out of the house, travel just a couple hours and immerse ourselves into a new and fun environment. I definitely recommend Refreshing Mountain Resorts and will be back next year if not for Christmas!

I took my two granddaughters to Refreshing Mountain swimming pool and they had a great time. Reservations and payment for the time slot was very smooth. I was very impressed with the lifeguards on duty; they were very focused on their areas and clearly management took steps to give lifeguards frequent breaks so they could be focused.

This was our first time ziplining and doing elevated obstacles. Everyone in our group had fun, and even those of us with some fear of heights did not find it too terrifying to complete. The guides are very helpful a stay with you the whole time.

The ice cream was affordable and delicious! The play gym by the pool was fantastic. My 3 kids and I had such a blast. We will absolutely be back. We’ve already recommended it to several friends and it was our first time there today.

I took my 2 grandsons, ages 8 and 10, to do the Fun 5 package. It was a wonderful, fun day, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. My only suggestion concerns the time constraint. We were given 2 hours to do the zip line, elevated obstacle course, peddle carts, wildlife center, and farm animals. That is not enough time. We got stuck behind someone in another group who froze on the obstacle course. No one could go around her so we all had to wait. It took about 20 - 30 minutes to get her through. Therefore, it was almost 11 by the time we got to the peddle carts, and the wildlife center was closed. It was very disappointing. However, we were given free passes to the pool to make up for it, which we really appreciated! We all had a wonderful time and highly recommend it!

Refreshing Mountain is a great retreat center and place to stay! Tried the cabin for two nights and also did the aerial excursion zip line tour. Both were great experiences. The cabin was well accommodated with amenities and the zip line tour was thrilling (I’d rate it at a moderate difficulty with the highest point being about 70ft). Also got to try the animal farm where you can feed the animals there. The camp did have a lot of children attending at the time which took up the ability to use the pool and basketball court on certain occasions, however this didn’t take away from the experience very much. There were plenty of things to do without even leaving the site, but there are also plenty of attractions nearby as listed in the binder provided with your stay. Overall, a great experience and would like to revisit sometime.

Fantastic family-friendly adventure experience!!! My kids loved the zip lining, obstacle course, pedal carts and pool!! We will be back to do the climbing wall and for another day of adventure! They did wish there was more to the zip lining, there was only 2 lines open and included in the fun pack.
Jeff Balmer

This was our first time here, but we certainly hope to come back to the pool. Everything was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was family-friendly. My 4 and 1 year old nephew and niece loved the huge kiddie pool, and my 11 year old niece had fun going down the cool slide. If you live in the area, definitely check out Refreshing Mountain!

Wonderful experience. We went for a pool day 30 min drive but it was nice. The staff was wonderful. The children swimmed, played basketball and went to the playground. I will be planning to go back and do a weekend so we can hike and zip line. Definitely a great great family experience.

Went for zip lining, and decided to enjoy the pool afterward. Zipline instructors were very safety-conscious but extremely personable, instilling much confidence and trust with our group. Foliage is thick, but several segments had great views. Once returned to the launch point, gear was returned, and we headed to the pool. The lifeguard in the office validated our reservation. While chatting about where to change clothes, a female employee approached us, demanding to know why we were at the pool. Although I clarified that everything was fine, she continued a self-sustained argument. Sadly, this uncomfortable behavior tarnished the sincere good work of each RM employee we had interracted with on our visit.

What a wonderful experience with my 5 grandchildren in a very controlled "safe" environment. The water was clean and cool just the way we like it. We had a lot of fun going under all the water fountains. I'd do it again in a heart beat. Everyone there was very friendly! Pool could of been just a little bigger.
Great place, fun and difficult obstacles. Fun zip lines. The guides were great: informative, safe and funny. they have a lot more activities than just ziplining and the place felt safe and peaceful. I highly recommend it and would def go again.

What a fun place! We did the zipline and ropes course tour that took about 1 1/2 hours. The guides were so nice, knowledgeable, and helpful, especially to those that needed extra assistance. The resort is beautiful and clean. I thought it was newer but our guide said it has been around since the 1980s. I highly recommend at least a day trip, or stay a few days. It is amazing.

This facility is beautiful and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our ziplinine guides Maddison and Peyton were wonderful, kind and engaging.

We rsvp for 10am.4 kids between ages 9 and 13 and 2 adults. We had so much fun at the ziplines and the elevated obstacle course. The first level of the obstacle course is tricky but easy, the 2nd level a little harder for us but still doable 😂. We didn't wait much in line. The staff was friendly and fast. The place was very nice and clean. The animal exhibitions were very nice as well.

Having experience with several escape rooms within our group, we were ALL very impressed with this unique and fun experience. This is one of the best escape room experiences for our family! Well worth the money! If you’re looking for a fun experience for your family or group, I encourage you to give it a try!! Great job
About Refreshing Mountain
Refreshing Mountain is a year-round, non-denominational, Christian Retreat Center in PA, built on 80+ acres of beautiful Pennsylvania woodland. We help groups of all sizes explore together and host heart-changing events.
Our mission is to provide activities for large groups in a clean, comfortable, and safe facility where you can relax and feel refreshed. We’ll take care of the details so you can enjoy every minute of your time with us! We offer guided activities, adventures, and amenities for all participants to enjoy.
Reservations are highly recommended whether you call ahead or book online. If you just stop in, you might have to wait an hour or more for the activity you want. We recommend you call ahead or book online to ensure availability even for day-of bookings.
All activities have a maximum weight of 280 pounds.
For most of the “high adventure” activities, individual riders must be at least five years old and weigh a minimum of 60 pounds to zip line. For the Aerial Excursion Course and Rappelling, participants must be a minimum of 8 years old.
An adult MUST accompany children under 13 for the Challenge and Aerial Excursion. For other activities, an adult need only be present. Please see the AGE RATIO GRID for specifics.
All participants MUST be wearing closed-toed shoes, like a sneaker.
If you are wearing hoop or dangling earrings or a necklace, you will be asked to remove them while doing the activity. There is a safe place you can keep your belongings.
Hair that is below the shoulder should be pulled pack.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your first scheduled activity. Come to the office, and we will direct you from there.
We are very intentional about promoting and preserving a family-friendly environment that welcomes all guests. Our goals for hospitality and many of our policies reflect the Judeo-Christian founding of the retreat center. We feel strongly that our guidelines are essential in helping us promote a wholesome, safe, enjoyable, family-friendly environment for everyone.
