This was such a cool location close to home. We did the 5 zipline and obstacle course challenge and it was fun! The last 2 ziplines over the lake were beautiful. The guides were great too. I loved how organize everything was. It's neat because they offer so much. I'll definitely be back again!

It was amazing and Luke and Justin made so much more fun. It’s really great in a small group. My eight year old nephew adored it and got braver with every zip line. We did 7 zip line aerial excursion. Try it….once you conquer this, many fears disappear!

Homeschool Day was such a great time! It was one of the most special days that I have spent with my son. We had a blast on the zipline, ropes course, and rock wall, and we loved archery, basketball, and carpetball too. The wildlife presentations were informative and engaging. The staff was all super friendly, encouraging, and seemed like they really enjoyed their jobs!

I'm 73 and was a little unsure about doing this, even tho' I've done a lot of adventurous stuff in the past. Everyone at Refreshing Mountain was so supportive and encouraging. Never condescending, always treated me just like everyone else. An increasingly unusual behavior I see as I get older.I'm not particularly scared of heights, but the platforms that were surrounding guy-wired poles rocked and rolled a bit and I found that disconcerting, but I just stayed close to the poles. The ones surrounding trees were no problem. Everyone was always connected in two places at all times. I really felt very safe.The guides were clearly very experienced and well-trained. They were friendly, entertaining, and fun to be around.I highly recommend this really cool activity.

I love this pool and so do our grandchildren. It has a family friendly atmosphere that promotes Christian values in their modest swimwear for everyone. It gives you the option to purchase at 2 hour (reasonably priced) segments or if you want, longer times, as well. My grandkids were ok with the 2 hours. Perfect timing for all!!

I was very nervous, but even I ended with my last 2 zip lines flying upside down! My entire group had a blast! All thanks goes to our “tour guides” Alex and Scott, they were able to make us feel welcomed, comfortable, explained everything to us and helped us have a great time. We will definitely be back!

If you're on the fence about zipline, take the leap! Our newly 8 year old (54 lbs) was the perfect age and size for the aerial excursion course, and mom/dad, and grandpa all enjoyed ourselves too. The walk through Refreshing Mtn to check-in was clean and well maintained, and we appreciated the restroom stop before gearing up. Zach and Nolan made us feel comfortable with their thorough explanation of expectations/safety features and had our group excited to zip. Well worth the drive for a fun morning! We did not stay to swim, but would HIGHLY suggest it based on the fun those in the pool were having.

I can not say enough WONDERFUL things about my husband's and my first adventure ziplineing and the WONDERFUL guides (who's names I just can't remember one had the coolest Kit Kat socks on....hopefully that will help with knowing who they are.) From the time we walked into the line (I with a huge fear of heights and overall not a inch of adventure seeking in my life) they were so professional, helpful and pure fun! This was one of the best experiences in my life! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Refreshing Mountain Retreat!!! They helped me more than I can say! I will forever be grateful for putting my trust & life in their hands.

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.

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. A child in our group was struggling with fear and they got her through it. Thanks for helping us make some happy memories!

Had a great time tonight doing the new Escape Room at Refreshing Mountain. 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

I spent 7 hours here with my 7 and 9 year old. We started off doing the zipline, which my son swore that he wouldn't do. The female staff member was encouraging and asked permission to give a little push, which my kids declined--however, I appreciated that she was sensitive enough to ask. The kids had a blast (and wanted to do it again).We moved onto the ropes course, and we stuck to the first 2 levels (my oldest tried the 3rd one). Those levels had some easier and harder sections, but my youngest persevered. There was a young man who ushered him along the tricky parts, and I liked that he asked my son if he really wanted to stop--which helped my son reflect and decide that he actually wanted to keep going. As we were traversing the ropes course, we couldn't help but overhear the conversation that was going on between the young staff members below--which was distracting and at times inappropriate. Overall, there were a lot of young staff which seemed to focus on socializing though there were some engaging and friendly staff among them.We enjoyed walking the area and engaging in the other activities. We purchased the Ascent package, which included the pedal carts, slingshots (hard for little kids), and the animal exhibits. We spent a while speaking to a very engaging staff person in the Wildlife Center. We never found the farm animals as we got lost, and overall--I think the place could use better signage given the size.The playground is lovely and the pool was refreshing (and chilly!). The food at the cafe was reasonably priced and offered basics like pizza and ice cream, while offering more grown up food like paninis.I will definitely come back again to try the other (longer) ziplines. Be sure to check their website for promotions/discounts, which saved me 50% per person.

This was such a cool location close to home. We did the 5 zipline and obstacle course challenge and it was fun! The last 2 ziplines over the lake were beautiful. The guides were great too. I loved how organize everything was. It's neat because they offer so much. I'll definitely be back again!

It was amazing and Luke and Justin made so much more fun. It’s really great in a small group. My eight year old nephew adored it and got braver with every zip line. We did 7 zip line aerial excursion. Try it….once you conquer this, many fears disappear!

Homeschool Day was such a great time! It was one of the most special days that I have spent with my son.

The staff was all super friendly, encouraging, and seemed like they really enjoyed their jobs!

I'm 73 and was a little unsure about doing this, even tho' I've done a lot of adventurous stuff in the past. Everyone at Refreshing Mountain was so supportive and encouraging. Never condescending, always treated me just like everyone else. An increasingly unusual behavior I see as I get older.I'm not particularly scared of heights, but the platforms that were surrounding guy-wired poles rocked and rolled a bit and I found that disconcerting, but I just stayed close to the poles. The ones surrounding trees were no problem. Everyone was always connected in two places at all times. I really felt very safe.The guides were clearly very experienced and well-trained. They were friendly, entertaining, and fun to be around.I highly recommend this really cool activity.

If you're on the fence about zipline, take the leap! Our newly 8 year old (54 lbs) was the perfect age and size for the aerial excursion course, and mom/dad, and grandpa all enjoyed ourselves too. The walk through Refreshing Mtn to check-in was clean and well maintained, and we appreciated the restroom stop before gearing up. Zach and Nolan made us feel comfortable with their thorough explanation of expectations/safety features and had our group excited to zip. Well worth the drive for a fun morning! We did not stay to swim, but would HIGHLY suggest it based on the fun those in the pool were having.

I spent 7 hours here with my 7 and 9 year old. We started off doing the zipline, which my son swore that he wouldn't do. The female staff member was encouraging and asked permission to give a little push, which my kids declined--however, I appreciated that she was sensitive enough to ask. The kids had a blast (and wanted to do it again).We moved onto the ropes course, and we stuck to the first 2 levels (my oldest tried the 3rd one). Those levels had some easier and harder sections, but my youngest persevered. There was a young man who ushered him along the tricky parts, and I liked that he asked my son if he really wanted to stop--which helped my son reflect and decide that he actually wanted to keep going. As we were traversing the ropes course, we couldn't help but overhear the conversation that was going on between the young staff members below--which was distracting and at times inappropriate. Overall, there were a lot of young staff which seemed to focus on socializing though there were some engaging and friendly staff among them.We enjoyed walking the area and engaging in the other activities. We purchased the Ascent package, which included the pedal carts, slingshots (hard for little kids), and the animal exhibits. We spent a while speaking to a very engaging staff person in the Wildlife Center. We never found the farm animals as we got lost, and overall--I think the place could use better signage given the size.The playground is lovely and the pool was refreshing (and chilly!). The food at the cafe was reasonably priced and offered basics like pizza and ice cream, while offering more grown up food like paninis.I will definitely come back again to try the other (longer) ziplines. Be sure to check their website for promotions/discounts, which saved me 50% per person.
This is an amazing place to take a group of students. 10/10

I had 4 people in my group, we did the 7-line aerial excursion. 1st time at refreshing mountain and 1st time zipliners for all 4 of us! I was very nervous, but even I ended with my last 2 zip lines flying upside down! My entire group had a blast! All thanks goes to our “tour guides” Alex and Scott, they were able to make us feel welcomed, comfortable, explained everything to us and helped us have a great time. We will definitely be back!

I can not say enough WONDERFUL things about my husband's and my first adventure ziplineing and the WONDERFUL guides (who's names I just can't remember one had the coolest Kit Kat socks on....hopefully that will help with knowing who they are.) From the time we walked into the line (I with a huge fear of heights and overall not a inch of adventure seeking in my life) they were so professional, helpful and pure fun! This was one of the best experiences in my life! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Refreshing Mountain Retreat!!! They helped me more than I can say! I will forever be grateful for putting my trust & life in their hands.

Since I started investing through her in forex and crypto trading, I get my income without any issues weekly,i invested $1000 and i made a successful withdrawal of $10,300 after 7 days of trading You can also be part of this great opportunity by contacting her and start earning weekly.

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.

A Zip Line Canopy Tour is a series of cables and platforms that take you on an exhilarating tour through forests and wildlife. Canopy Tours were originally created to study different plant life and trees. Now it has become much more about the exciting “ziplining” experience. However, we still try and show the forest and wildlife from a perspective you’ll never forget!
Your safety is our top priority. Each zipline tour is facilitated by at least two tour guides who have been through extensive training. They will take care of every safety-related detail on the course, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the rides. Our courses are registered with the PA Department of Agriculture Rides and Measurements Bureau, and they meet/exceed the design standards of ACCT (Association for Challenge Course Technology). One of our guides does a daily “run-through inspection,” a state-certified inspector does a monthly inspection, and once a year, a certified third-party inspector does an inspection. Our Aerial Excursion course uses a brake design system that the industry recognizes as the safest approach to braking. Each line is “dialed in” to allow gravity to work as a natural brake. Each line also has a “backup” brake mechanism controlled by our staff, so the participant does not need to worry about slowing themselves down. We use a patented braking/retrieval system called a ZIPKea on each line on our Aerial Excursion Tour, which has longer, faster zip lines.
There is no tipping expected. There will be at least two guides with your group for the duration of the event, and you can expect that they will be highly professional and safety conscious. They will take good care of your group through the experience, whether you tip them or not!
Participants do need to be reasonably fit to participate by the nature of the event. Please see the Activities Release and Waiver Form for more details on this. Still, in general, participants should be able to carry 20-30 lbs of weight without difficulty, climb a flight of stairs, stand without assistance, walk over uneven terrain up and down a moderate slope. See the question below on age, weight, and height restrictions for more detail.
For most “high adventure” activities, individual riders must be at least 5 years old. All participants can NOT exceed 280 lbs. At the zipline guide’s discretion, any rider under 60 lbs may need to ride tandem with a guide on certain lines.
Children 12 and under MUST be accompanied by an adult to complete the zip line courses; the Aerial Excursion and Challenge Adventure Course ratio is 1 adult per 3 children. An adult is defined as a person over the age of 18+.
No. You should schedule a tour ahead of time. If you just show up, and we have space available, we will gladly fit you in, but we sell out of space regularly, plus we have specific start times. People that show up without a reservation generally don’t get to go through the course. You can book online or call us at 1-888-353-1490.

Yes, but it must be secured to your wrist, or we can attach it to your harness using the wrist strap. We do not allow you to wear cameras or anything around your neck for safety reasons. Also, if you choose to bring your equipment, you should recognize that there is a possibility that it could be damaged on tour. So whatever you bring is at your own risk. It is essential to secure it to your person for the tour.
Full Payment is due with the reservation.

Within 3 days, no changes are possible and there are no refunds for cancellation, except in cases of inclement weather. We are rain or shine, but if we determine inclement weather would affect the comfort and/or safety of the guest or guides (ex: high winds, lightning, heavy downpour, extreme temperatures, etc…), customers will have the option to re-schedule at no cost or receive store credit. COVID-19 AMENDMENT. Any guest(s) that feel unwell prior to their tour should call the office to re-schedule. Full value of the amount paid will be posted forward as store credit for a new date, and no fees will be assessed on the schedule change.
In this situation, you will be billed for the full event. However, you do not need to finish the tour. The course is “Challenge By Choice,” so if you feel that you cannot continue, our tour guides will be able to belay you to the ground from any of the platforms on the course. You will then need to walk from that point back to the starting point. We want you to have a positive experience at our environmentally-friendly canopy tour.
Yes. We offer very cozy cabins suites for up to 8 people and tent sites if you want something more rustic. For groups of 20+ people, see our information on Large Group Retreats for additional options.
