Kirkwood Camp and Conference Center was established in 1960 when the Presbytery of Philadelphia purchased a family farm and converted it into a residential youth camp, retreat and conference center. The camp consists of 292 acres with such diversity as large meadows for games, a large pond for boating and swimming, hiking trails winding through laurel hammocks, piney forests, and stands of hardwood.
The highlights of this site include the suspension bridge which crosses Big Pocono Creek which is suitable for tubing, fly fishing and environmental studies, as well as “the Ridge” which gives a majestic view of the Pocono Mountains including the Delaware Water Gap. As a camper once said, “Camp would not be camp without a Ridge and a Bridge”.
