5 stars — Because where else can your kids fly through trees, hug a pig, become wild plant experts, AND be fully worn out before dinner?

Refreshing Mountain has officially earned its spot as our family’s home away from home. We’ve been coming here at least twice a year for seven years straight (minus the COVID gap we’ve all blacked out). And every single visit has been pure magic.

Today? Top-tier. We ziplined, tackled obstacle courses, climbed walls like tiny action heroes, and visited the farm where one of my kids fell deeply in love with a pig. (We are now apparently a “we need a pet pig” household. Send help.)

But this time, we also tried something new—a foraging class, recently added to their already amazing lineup of activities. My kids are now self-proclaimed wild plant experts, and I’m only slightly concerned they’re going to start making backyard salads out of suspicious leaves. But in all seriousness? It was fantastic. Educational, hands-on, and so much fun that no one even asked for snacks during it. A miracle.

And then there’s the moment that keeps us coming back: years ago, when my disabled son Rhys couldn’t zipline on his own, the incredible staff made it happen with a tandem ride that let him soar through the trees like a superhero. It was a moment I’ll never forget—and the kind of kindness and intentional inclusion that defines Refreshing Mountain.

Every staff member we’ve met has been welcoming, patient, and genuinely happy to help families make unforgettable memories (even if we’re loud, chaotic, and slightly muddy).

This place isn’t just an adventure—it’s a gift. 1000/10 recommend. Just maybe don’t come during peak Carlisle car show traffic, unless you enjoy testing your patience before the ropes course.

Refreshing Mountain accommodated our High School Choir for a one-day practice retreat. Rehearsal rooms, food services, and activities space was excellently prepared. Isaac and Jeremy did a great job of making sure we had access to the sound system and AV equipment.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your 5 star review! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit!

I work in the insurance industry and have visited this camp a few times. It is well managed, well maintained and would recommend this camp to any of my religious insurance customers as a great camp to attend.

Response from the owner:Thanks for continuing to come back to Refreshing Mountain! We appreciate your 5 star rating, as well as, referring us to your religious insurance customers!

You have questions about Retreats. We have the answers.

What type of lodging is best for men’s retreats?

We recommend Cabins or Lodges for men’s groups. These spaces are great for small groups of guys (i.e. 3-8 per room) to share comfortable, clean, and restive lodging during the event. Also true, some men’s groups prefer our Bunk Houses, which are also clean and comfortable, since they provide a less expensive option and allow for a larger number of people per section.

Which Activity Add-Ons are best for men’s retreats?

Axe Throwing, Escape Rooms, Ziplines, and Teambuilding are all great additions to men’s retreat schedules. There are many other activities to choose from as well, like the Climbing Tower, Giant Swing, and the Wildlife Center, that men will also enjoy.
