Camping Ministries
The Central PA Conference offers a variety of camps throughout the summer for all ages. First Church runs three camps called "First Camp" for children in first through sixth grades.

First and Second graders’ camp is from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday evening. Second and Third graders’ camp is from Wednesday evening until Friday night.

Vacation Bible School
Each summer First Church offers a Vacation Bible School Program based on a specific theme. Years past have seen programs with a balloon theme, a space theme, and an island theme. Each year is a new and exciting theme for the children, but the message always remains the same--discovering God's love for them and his plan for their lives. Children take part in music, scripture, crafts, snacks--all the things that make VBS so exciting. Plan now for 2012 Sky, July 9-13.  Contact: Nicole Meyer at 570-940-0226.
