Local First, Christian Retreat Center
Christian Retreat Center
Our Local First Program allows customers to designate
eligible checking or savings accounts to participating nonprofit
organizations.
Once an organization reaches 20 or more supporters,
quarterly donations are made by the bank. These donations are calculated based
on the average balance in the customers’ accounts. Donations are made directly
from Pennian. It’s a cost free way for our customers to support their favorite
local organization.
Today we are featuring our most recent organization to reach
20 supporters, the Christian Retreat
Center (CRC).
Here’s a little more about them:
About: CRC is
located in East Waterford, PA. The heart and soul of CRC is their summer
programs, which include their Youth Camps and Together in Mission Services
(TIMS) program.
Programs: CRC is
blessed with amazing facilities! The main facilities include the Cabins,
Hillside Dining Hall and the White Oak Lodge. These facilities are used during
summer camp and TIMS, but are also used for various guest groups throughout the
year. The camp is full nearly every weekend as they welcome youth groups,
marriage retreats, church-wide events, family reunions, pastor retreats,
crafting retreats and various other events. CRC is also in the midst of
updating 19 campsites.
In the summer, CRC offers youth camps for children ages 6 to
18 years old. Each week is designed for a specific age group with activities
and events based on their ages. CRC’s TIMS program allows youth groups to come
to CRC and serve people with various needs in the community.
