After all the fun, the same location but 3:30pm return time! So please be early to pick your child back up.

- Bible
- Toiletries, pillow, sleeping bag / blanket, towel
- Winter clothes, boots, gloves, hat, sneakers (for indoor activities)
- Be prepared for both indoor and outdoor (cold) activities
Winter camp is your opportunity to adventure in the snow and outdoors, so for your safety please do not bring the following items:
- Electronics (iPad, computer, gaming consoles, etc)
- Cell phones
- Weapons, including pocket knives
- Sled (we will provide)
- Anything valuable or sentimental (things get lost at camp more than you think!)
All weather and road updates will be sent out via our Facebook page. If there is an emergency that would cancel our camp weekend, or important weather information for our families, we will post that on our Facebook page. Or you can call us at 570-629-1902.
Safety is our highest concern at Streamside. All our cabin counselors, permanent staff, and temporary staff are required to go through an extensive background check process. Additionally, we have First Aid trained staff to ensure that children are physically safe.
Many of our campers bring a small amount of spending money ($10-$15) for the weekend to purchase snacks from our snack shop and vending machine.
