What is Provided

The church rented a group campsite that fits 100 people. Our site is for tent camping. Tent space and picnic tables will be claimed on a first-come first-serve basis. RPC will provide adequate wood for the group campfire fire. There is a public restroom and bathhouse approximately 50-75 yards from our campsite. There is a sandy beach offering lakeside swimming a short distance away. If you want to bring an RV or Pop-Up, please email the church office so that we know you plan to attend. However, you will need to use this link to learn how you can rent an RV site that is close to RPC's site (Group A). If you have further concerns, please contact office@ephratarpc.com.
