Located in the northwest region of New Jersey's beautiful highlands, Johnsonburg Camp and Retreat Center is a place where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds are welcomed to experience God in a serene environment. Since 1959, our staff and facilities have served thousands of people each year with warm hospitality for recreation, faith formation, meetings, and/or teambuilding.
Serving all individuals, organizations and groups, Johnsonburg is the perfect place for your next event. When the Synod of New Jersey made the commitment to open a dedicated space for children and youth to grow in their faith in God's creation 60 years ago, it was clear that the impact of time away is life-changing.

Who We Are
Report
In 1959, Johnsonburg Camp & Retreat Center was established to provide experiential Christian education in support of the Presbyterian Church in New Jersey. Johnsonburg today is a place where city kids meet country kids, where black and white discover common ground, where the rich and poor of means and spirit are valued equally, and where each is encouraged to take another vital step toward realizing oneness in Christ.
Our Team

Elise enjoys all aspects of God's ministry in the outdoors, but her passions include leadership development, nature exploration, wilderness trips and sustainable architectural design.
