Camp McPherson's Facilities

Our 158 acre Christian campground, located near the Mohican State Park, offers flat grassy recreational areas as well as rolling hills and wooded areas that offer a beautiful setting. The grounds are ideal for the sports enthusiast as well as the individual seeking a Christian retreat center for peace and reflection. There are very few places that offer the peace of the Lord’s presence and the beauty of His nature, especially in the fall, as the camp. Our facilities will provide you with several camping options, from tent camping to a hotel room; all can experienced at Camp McPherson. Contact us for the all the options available for your group.

The Lodge at Camp McPherson
Morrow Lodge is nestled in a hill on the grounds of Camp McPherson. Along with all the amenities that the lodge offers, a bonus is the camp grounds!

There are 23 rooms each with 2 queen beds; one room has handicap and wheel chair accessibility. As in any motel, linen and towels are provided.

The Lodge houses a meeting room with a maximum capacity of 100, in theater seating. A built-in sound and satellite system is available for use. In addition, there is a pass-through window that connects the kitchenette to the meeting room. The kitchen can be used to serve your guests light refreshments to a buffet style meal.

During meeting breaks, the central lobby offers a place to relax and visit with other guests. Sit in one of the plush sofas in front of the stone fireplace and someone may have to wake you to rejoin the meeting.

Morrow Lodge is an excellent choice for your next retreat, family reunion, marriage seminar, wedding, group banquet, company party or meeting.

Kurtz Retreat Center
We often heard, “We only have a small group, is there anything available to help meet our needs?” Yes, there is and the Kurtz Retreat Center is just the place for a small group, overflow for a larger camp or a quality, comfortable place for your counselors. In the spring of 2003 we wanted to meet this need that many organizations had; we therefore started renovating what was then called the “the 3rd dorm”.

Finished in the early summer of 2003, the Center has 8 sleeping rooms, a lounge and men’s and ladies shower rooms. Six rooms come with double beds and two have single beds, bed linen is provided. The lounge area has a small kitchenette. Consider the Kurtz Retreat Center for your staff meetings or small group gatherings.

The Dorms
Campers can also stay in one of four dormitories, each holding 60 people. The dorms are separated; the “boy’s dorms” are on the hill and the two “girl’s dorms” are located near the Lodge. Each set of dorms have their own Bath houses. Just like the Lodge and Retreat Center, the dorms are heated and, for those hot, muggy summer nights, air conditioned! Housing 240 beds among the four dorms enables Camp McPherson to handle large Church, Band or Athletic Camps.

Camper’s Row and Primitive Camping
For those that like to drive or pull their sleeping accommodations with them, there is Camper’s Row. Twenty-seven stations provide water and electrical hook-up for the campers. We do not provide a waste station but one is located just down the road with easy access in Mohican State Park.

Across from Camper’s Row are sites for primitive camping. For the individuals or families that enjoy pitching a tent and enjoying the surroundings, camp sites with fire rings are available.

Dining Hall
The dining hall at Camp McPherson seats a maximum of 250 people. Enjoy, as our professional, certified staff serves up a tasty meal. Menus are available from a camping menu to banquet style dinners for that wedding, church or company reception. For those that enjoy a great barbecue, we can roll out the Chuck Wagon. Our converted Amish Wagon is mounted with four grills and hot and cold plates to serve up some great burgers, hot dogs or steaks any where on our grounds.

The building, itself, can serve as a great recreational or classroom setting during inclement weather. Click here to see our menu.

The Tabernacle
Located on the highest point at Camp McPherson is the Tabernacle. With its stage and seating for 450 the Tabernacle offers an open, or closed, air experience to your meeting, worship or church services. The facility has been ideal for band camps. They utilize the Tabernacle for their orchestra set up and perform formations a few yards away on the open fields.

The Chalet
If you desire privacy and convenience, our one bedroom Chalet may be just the answer. With its living room, full kitchen and bath the chalet is a great opportunity for a mini retreat or a couple’s get away. Many of our Pastor’s have used the chalet for a time of reflection, study and seeking the Lord. If you are a Pastor contact us for additional information.

The Game Room
Across from the Dining Hall is the Game Room. Housing a pool table, ping pong and foosball tables and video games it is a gathering place for young and old alike. Whether you are sitting around with a group of friends, joining in a game or grabbing a snack; it’s a great location at the camp.

If you need another meeting room, the Game Room quickly converts into that place and can easily seat 80 to 100 participates.

Outdoor Recreation
One of the great advantages of Camp McPherson are the open fields available for a pick-up game of football, a softball game, or how about some soccer. Two sand volleyball courts and a lighted basketball court are on the grounds.

The camp also offers a low ropes course for those campers that want to develop their teambuilding skills.

For a camper with a warrior streak, Stand Your Ground Paintball has several paintball courses with equipment rental available.

Need some refreshing, dive into our 2,400 sq. ft. heated pool. And while you are there enjoy a hot dog, some soft ice cream or a coke at the concession stand.

The location of Camp McPherson, near the Mohican State Park, offers our campers the opportunity to enjoy the area and its attractions as well. We can help you arrange canoeing, horseback riding, a high ropes course challenge, go-karts and putt-putt. Downhill skiing and numerous golf courses and Amish Country are short drives away.
