Tuesday, November 4th, 2008A recent posting on the Mission Year Blog by Amy Tuttel gives props to Delanco for something we often take for granted: its trees.

This weekend Mission Year folks took a solitude retreat somewhere in New Jersey at a camp called Delanco. The camp was pretty rustic, truly simple…but the trees…were absolutely beautiful. I spent [...]
Where we are from
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008Often when I talk about Delanco Camp people will ask me questions about where the campers who come here are from, what type of church backgrounds they have, etc.
I usually repeat what our Web site says about being an inter-denominational Holiness camp in southern New Jersey. I always make it clear that we do not [...]
Such a beautiful surrender
Monday, October 13th, 2008By Becky Clendaniel (Originally posted on Becky’s Blog)
There’s something so authentic about retreats. Of course you’re not in a real-world setting; you’re not with your parents, your dog, your sisters and brothers (sometimes). But you’re with some of your best friends and God. I think that’s pretty much all you need, actually.

A parent’s perspective
Friday, September 12th, 2008My oldest daughter Christy has attended many, many Delanco camp weeks – if I had to guess it would be close to a dozen times. She has always come back from camp full of stories. Sometimes the stories are about campers who are struggling with their faith, some are about the highly anticipated night games. [...]
All that He has done
Thursday, August 28th, 2008The 2008 Delanco season has come to an end, but the memories will live on — that’s for sure. God really showed up and changed the hearts of many campers, staff and visitors throughout the summer. Many great friendships were formed that will last a lifetime.
As a permanent staff, we had many nights of playing [...]
Brandon Merriell Jr. High 1 Re-cap
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Junior High 1 was awesome. The theme of the week was Trapates (Setapart). The reason Setapart was chosen for the camp theme is because as Christians we should try to be different from the crowd and not let ourselves be ruled by the latest fads. Instead we should let God rule our lives and not [...]
Superhero a Junior Camp hit
Monday, July 21st, 2008First off, I’d like to say Junior Camp was amazing! The staff that was assembled was truly one of epic proportions. Each staff member had an open and willing desire to help each camper not only have fun, but grow closer to Christ.
We had this song called ‘Superhero’ by Hillsong Kids that we sung every morning [...]

Sunday, April 13th, 2008Hey, it’s Sarah Herman and if you don’t know me here’s a bit about me and my Delanco journeys. Alright, well camp has a long history for me. It started when my brother Tim was in 4th grade and he came to Delanco. Ever since he went I was dying to go. So when summer [...]
