Ladore Messenger       2020-21

       Greetings from the
         Ladore Program Department
     “Through The Decades!” is our theme for 2021. Oh, the memories flood our minds when we think
     of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s: Sock Hops, Rock & Roll, Tie-Dye Shirts, the Golden Era of Television,
     Drive-In Theater, A&W Root Beer and Car Hops, and so much more. We sure had fun!

               The staff of Ladore Camp & Conference Center welcomes you to have some more fun as
               we celebrate “Through The Decades!” Travel back with us to a simpler time and come
               see all that Ladore has to offer. You will gaze at the Northern Pocono Mountains while
                enjoying our 1300 acres of forest, lake, and rolling hills.

                  The program department at Ladore will have available daily theme games, guided tours and walking
                  trails, pontoon boat rides, music and crafts, indoor swimming pool and hot tub, game rooms, theme
                  movies, and more. You will go from one activity to another, or you can take a nap.

     Outside on the Grand Patio, you will find bocce, shuffleboard, and a handicapped accessible miniature golf
     course. Some of the best fishing in the area awaits you along with a spectacular view of the 265 acres of
     our own Lake Ladore. 2021 is the year we anticipate more activities for the more active person – all to be
     announced as they become available.

     The chefs will prepare delicious meals. Chaplains offer inspiring devotions. Entertainers will wow the crowd!
     Guest Services have big hearts and will keep you comfortable in one of our lodge guest rooms that had new
     full-size beds installed in early 2020. You will have plenty of time to reminisce “Through The Decades!”.

     As you plan to travel “Through The Decades!” with us, you can expect rest and affordable experiences that
     are powered by God’s Love. Our mission is to impact lives for Jesus Christ by providing superior hospitality,
     programs, and educational opportunities resulting in spiritual growth for all ages.

     Come “Through The Decades!” by contacting our Sales and Reservations Office, or your group leader.

                                       We can’t wait to see you! Our team has been hard at work preparing and adapting our facility to safely welcome back our
                                       guests. Remember, no matter what yesterday was like, birds always start the new day with a song. We are here to assist you
                                       as you plan your next retreat, event, family gathering or senior getaway. Don’t be shy, if you need anything, or have any
                                       questions along the way, don’t hesitate to ask!

                                       Majors Leonard and Karen Boynton have served as officers for 41 years and both have degrees in business management.
                                       They have served as Corps Officers (pastors) in multiple locations throughout the northeastern states.
                                       They are the proud parents of 3 sons and the exceptionally proud grandparents of 2 lovely and exceptional granddaughters.

Ladore Messenger    2020-21

      Scholarships
      When you think of scholarships, you may think of funding to help your grandchildren get a college education.
      But scholarships at Ladore mean something entirely different. Our scholarships are designed to help those who
      may not be able to afford a vacation or the opportunity to get away.
      Our desire is for you to attend our program, reap the benefit of being with other seniors, participate in our activities
      and be refreshed by spending time at our facility with old or new friends. This program gives you the opportunity to
      leave the everyday behind and get recharged, ready to take on whatever may be coming.
      Scholarships can be used for any of the 5 day / 4 night senior getaway weeks that we offer. Check the information
      below to see if you qualify for this wonderful benefit.

      1.           Each applicant must be a resident of one of the following counties in the State of Pennsylvania:

                   amount of your stay. You would then be required to pay the balance upon arrival. The application fee

      10.          Scholarships must be received in our office at least two weeks before you are scheduled to arrive so they
                   can be processed and approved.
