DescriptionCamp Eder is affiliated with the Southern Pennsylvania District Church of the Brethren, which has 46 congregations. The Church of the Brethren was founded in Germany in 1708. We are a nationwide denomination with about 1100 congregations and 140,000 members. The central emphasis of the Church of the Brethren is not a creed, but a commitment to follow Christ in simple obedience, to be faithful disciples in the modern world. We hold the New Testament as our guidebook for living, affirming with it the need for lifelong and faithful study of the Scriptures. We hold the New Testament as the record of the ministry, teaching, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and of the beginnings of the life and thought of the Christian church. Faithful following of Jesus Christ and obedience to the will of God as revealed in the Scriptures have led us to emphasize principles that we believe are central in true discipleship. Among these are peace and reconciliation, simple living, integrity of speech, family values, and service to neighbors near and far. For more Camp Eder's Mission StatementCamp Eder is a place where persons can learn to know God through Bible-based programs in a loving, caring environment. Our mission is to extend the love of Jesus Christ to all people and to provide each one the opportunity to discover His Spirit at work in the world and in their own life. History of Camp Eder
This summer we will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary of Summer Camp with the theme Be A Hero: Living Like Jesus. Drawing from stories from both the Old and the New Testaments, campers will learn what it means to be a hero for God. In the movies and fairy tails, heroes are those who leap tall buildings in a single bound, save damsels in distress, or thwart the powers of evil in climactic, spectacular battles. However, being a hero for God is different, although often not nearly as dramatic. Being a hero for God means recognizing a need, realizing that something can be done to address that need, and taking the risk to act. Being a hero for God involves understanding that God calls and equips each of us to do some of what Jesus and other biblical heroes did. And for us, like those heroes, this work is often done in simple ways with everyday things, and by ordinary people. We have lots of fun and exciting things planned for this summer including a Camp Eder Birthday Party each week to celebrate our 50th Summer Camp Birthday! We hope you will join us! Details
