Welcome
The Mt Gretna Campmeeting received its charter
on March 17, 1892. It has since meant many different things
to many different people.
Since the beginning, the most earnest of the summer people in Mount
Gretna have been members of the Campmeeting Association. Their use
of the grounds initially lasted about ten days, for the Bible Conference
that is still held here every year. It wasn't long before they extended
their stay to the entire summer season, building cottages that are
still lived in to this day.
The Campmeeting gradually evolved with an increasing number of
year-round residents. Today, they are amiably called Winterites,
and include many families, retirees, artists,
and other working professionals, who get to enjoy both the summer
crowds, activities, and devotion, as well as the winter festivities
and peaceful calm.
Many summer people
still come for the Bible Festival, and many come here for a respite
from the heat and constant activity of the city. Many come to hike
or ride on the great number of trails that surround the Campmeeting,
and many for the theater, music, and other arts.
All appreciate
the heartwarming social nature of our porches. Every summer,
it's where families gather, and where people renew their friendships
and make new friends.
