Delanco Camp is available for your next retreat or event! We’re close to it all, about 30 minutes away from major shopping venues in South Jersey and far from it all, tucked away in the beautiful New Jersey Pine Barrens. Our retreat center, kitchen, and dorms are large enough to accommodate groups and events of different sizes while our camp provides you a chance to separate yourself from the chaos of the world and remain in solitude with God. Our facility also includes a Challenge Course that’s great for team-building exercises, a Pavilion for picnics, a campground, and a Tabernacle that’s perfect for worship services and concerts.

Retreat Center 

The Retreat Center is our main building for groups renting the camp. It has multiple dormitory style rooms (Downstairs- 1 large and 1 small room & Upstairs- 2 rooms). The Retreat Center, as a whole, houses 52 people. Both floors have bathrooms with 3 showers, 3 toilets, and sinks for your use. The Retreat Center has a main meeting room and fully functioning kitchen attached. The kitchen is equipped with pots and pans, silverware, and many dishes. You are welcome to use them, but we ask you to clean and return whatever you use. We do not have a dishwasher in this kitchen. The Retreat Center is heated and can be used all year round. 

Boys Dorm 

Our Boys Dorm is located out by the sand soccer field and next to the Tabernacle. This building is called the “Boys Dorm” only because it is used during the summer camps as the primary dormitory for our boy campers. This dorm can only be used for one gender as it has three large dormitory rooms all connected by a large bathroom. The Boys Dorm can hold approximately 48 people. This building is not heated and therefore can only be used during the warmer months. 

Motel 

Our Motel is the large white “L” shaped building located in the center of camp. The Motel comes with 15 small rooms each with their own bathrooms and showers. The rooms contain various-sized beds and bunks. A bedding arrangement can be sent upon request. No linens are provided. At the center of the motel is the Lounge, which is perfect for a meeting room. Above the Lounge are two larger bedrooms, each with their own full-sized bathrooms. The Motel is not heated and can only be used during the warmer months. 

Brown and Burrell Cabins 

Located behind the Warchol House and next to the volleyball court, these cabins each contain 3 four-person bedrooms, each with a personal bathroom and shower. Each cabin also has a small counselor room with its own bathroom and shower. Both cabins have screened-in porches as well. These cabins are not heated and therefore can only be used during the warmer months. 

Camping Area 

Delanco’s Camping Area consists of 12 camping sites complete with electricity and water hookups free of charge. (Water is only available during the fall and spring). The Camping Area is open from Sept 1 – Nov 15 & April 15 – June 15. There is a newly refurbished bathhouse available with two sides for men and women including 3 shower stalls and 2 toilets on each side. Facing the Pavilion is a laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer. The Pavilion includes an outdoor grill and picnic tables under a roof that are perfect for a barbeque rain or shine. The camping area also has a fire ring next to the Pavilion.

Dining Hall 

Our Dining Hall is located on the West end of camp across from the stream. The Dining Hall has a fully functional kitchen with two gas stoves, a convection oven, a large walk-in refrigerator, a commercial dishwasher, and much more. Coming equipped with all the dishes, cookware, and utensils you and your group could ever need, this kitchen is perfect for larger groups. The large room can be used for meals and also for meetings within your group. Feel free to arrange the tables and chairs any way needed. In this room, in the large cabinet in between the kitchen doors, is a small sound system that we welcome you to use during your stay. Instructions are located in the cabinet, and we ask that only adults operate the sound system. The Dining Hall is not currently heated and therefore can only be used during the warmer months. 

Tabernacle 

Our Tabernacle is the perfect place for a meeting space or worship services for your group. We ask that all groups show respect when using our Tabernacle and only use it for meetings or worship services. There is a sound system and projector that can be used for a fee upon request. Instructions are posted in the back of the Tabernacle at the sound system. All sound equipment is located in the left closet (while looking at the stage). We ask that adults supervise all use of the sound system and equipment in our Tabernacle and respect our property. Please also replace all equipment where you found it. 

Bonfire Guidelines 

If requested, wood will be provided for a bonfire at our fire pit located next to the lake by the bridge and next to the Pavilion. Benches can be arranged to fit your group’s needs. We simply ask that adults supervise the fire at all times. If more wood is needed during your stay please contact our Camp Director.

Lake Agape 

Rental Groups are also welcome to use the swimming area of Lake Agape and the camp’s boats. However, Delanco Camp requires a certified lifeguard to be on duty at all times and “Adult Supervision” is not acceptable. Delanco Camp can arrange lifeguard(s) for a fee upon request. Lifeguards must have First Aid, CPR, Lifeguard, and Waterfront certifications. Ice-skating on the lake is prohibited at all times.
