Greetings friends of Camp Swatara. On behalf of the Staff and Board of Directors, please know that we continue thinking of and remembering you and your family. Thank you for your continued prayer and financial support of the ministry of Camp Swatara, your presence through these avenues has been deeply encouraging.
With the updates over the weekend and as recent as yesterday, Monday, March 30th, the national guidelines and State ‘stay at home order’, Camp Swatara will remain closed, effective April 1st, 2020 through April 30th, 2020, to be reviewed prior to that date for details informing future updates regarding our operations.
The Family Campground (FCC) will also remain closed through April 30th, 2020 with a tentative date to open of Friday, May 1st, 2020, to be reviewed by April 20th for details informing future updates regarding our operations. Please watch for updates about previously released events that will be changing on our calendar.
Regarding deposits and payments for cancelled programs and reservations at this time:
1. We invite you to roll your deposit and/or payment over to a future program or reservation by the end of 2020, or at the most, by one year from your original program or reservation date. Our greatest privilege is to serve you and we want you to fully experience Camp Swatara in person!
2. As a non-profit ministry, we rely on programs, retreats, and rentals to sustain our operations. Would you consider donating your deposit and or payment to Camp Swatara at this time to support our operational expenses?
3. As an individual, if you carry travel insurance, check with your agent about your policy. As a group, we can review your insurance certificate on file to pursue if provisions exist.
4. If a refund is requested, Camp Swatara will do our best to honor that request as soon as possible, with a commitment of no later than six months from the date of the request.
As a not-for-profit ministry that facilitates hospitality services and re-creation-al experiences, we plan our year for the participation and usage of campers, guests, and groups. This time of year, and in the immediate months ahead, we experience the most extensive utilization of our services and facilities. Would you, your family, or those in your relational community consider making a donation commitment to Camp Swatara this year that would directly support our operations?
Remember and mediate with us in Psalm 9:1 –
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.
May the Lord Bless and Keep You –
Tim Courtright, Executive Director, Camp Swatara
