Kirkwood Camp and Conference Center is owned and operated by the Presbytery of Philadelphia. and consists of 286 acres with such diversity

as large meadows for games, a pond for boating and swimming, and hiking trails winding through laurel hammocks, piney forests, and

stands of hardwood. The highlights of this site include the suspension bridge which crosses Big Pocono Creek which is suitable for tubing, fly

fishing and environmental studies, as well as "the ridge" which gives a majestic view of the Pocono mountains including the Delaware Water

Gap. As a camper once said, "Camp would not be camp without a ridge and a bridge". Kirkwood is accredited by the American Camp Association.
