Along the shore of Lake Erie, in North Springfield, Pennsylvania, Camp Lambec is CAPNWP's conference style camping center with various activities for all ages. Camp Lambec encompasses 92 acres on Lake Erie’s southern shore near the Pennsylvania/Ohio border, 20 miles west of Erie, PA. Surrounding an open vale, are 14 rustic camper cabins, two bathhouses, indoor and outdoor chapels, a dining hall, a few self-contained retreat buildings and a newly-constructed recreation hall. The camp is a classic conference-style camp and the perfect place to enjoy the splendor of God’s creation. Retreat rentals are accepted from April through October. Most rental facilities are unavailable from late June through mid-August due to summer youth and family camping programs. The Camping Association of the Presbyteries of Northwestern Pennsylvania operates two campgrounds with distinctly different qualities. These Christian camps have been serving Pennsylvania youth and families for over a half a century. Located on the shores of Lake Erie, Camp Lambec is a classic conference style campgrounds. This facility is open for CAPNWP summer programs run by qualified volunteers, and is staffed by a capable maintenance team that keeps the camp in excellent condition for the enjoyment of all that attend. In the last days of summer Lambec is enjoyed by families worshipping and camping under the direction of capable chaplains.
