Invest time in family
Overview
We all seek to invest more time into our families, but such intentional time is increasingly hard to come by. Camp Susque invites you to come away for the weekend, allow us to do the work, and you can enjoy that much-needed family time. The weekend is geared to all ages and will be a great fit for families with small children, parents with adult children, and couples. Families stay in our cozy lodges but we do have a few “rustic” options (winterized cabins, no electricity) for the adventurous and hearty. Please call our office (570-998-2151) if you would like to book a rustic option.
Chaplain
Each year we invite a special Chaplain to the Spring Family weekend to serve as the main speaker for the event.
In addition to the speaker sessions, the rest of your weekend will be filled with scrumptious meals, a multitude of activities, and the ability to participate in as much or as little as you like. Let us serve you!

Food
Leave the meal prep and dishes to us! Let Susque serve you hand and foot as we prepare delicious dishes for all palates. Three hearty meals on Saturday and a loaded brunch on Sunday will leave you full and content. Not to mention the evening snacks and endless coffee and tea bar.
If your family has food allergies and preferences, you will be able to list those on your registration form. Our Hospitality Director ensures that Susque is able to handle most allergies and preferences, while still providing high-quality, filling meals, provided that allergies are submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the weekend. If you are registering within 2 weeks of the event, please call Susque at 570-998-2151 to discuss your dietary needs.
