Join us for our 2025 Summer Conference Season here at America’s Keswick!
Family Week #1 July 6-11, 2025
Our theme is “Deeply Rooted: Abiding in Christ” focusing on John 15:5 (ESV), “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
Speakers: Pastor Joe Snyder & Dr. Ed Hardesty
Pastor Joe Snyder was Born in Philly, raised in Bucks County. Joe received his undergrad degree from Cairn, and his Masters of Divinity from Moody Theological Seminary.”I love preaching and teaching God’s Word, in such a way that it truly leads to life change for people! And then, those changed people, impact and change the lives of others. Changed lives change lives. I truly believe the church is the hope of the world! We have God’s Spirit within us, and are living containers of the one and only hope the world has… JESUS.”
Dr. Hardesty teaches on the Bible, Jewish studies, archaeology, and the geography of Israel at Cairn University. He regularly leads study tours and participates in archaeological digs in Israel. He also serves as the University liaison for the “Semester Abroad” program with Jerusalem University College. Prior to teaching at Cairn, Hardesty served in the US Air Force in the Vietnam War and has spent over 40 years in ministry.

Children’s & Teen’s Ministry:
It’s not Sunday School… It’s not VBS… It’s Children’s Ministry – America’s Keswick style! One of our passions is to teach children from a young age who Jesus is, why it is important to follow Him, and how to apply biblical principles to their lives. We take the time to hand-pick fun and responsible leaders who are passionate about teaching YOUR kids. We get to know your children personally so we can teach them at a level that they can understand, and we also have a whole lot of fun along the way.
On top of our biblical lessons, we have high-energy games, creative crafts, delicious snacks, funny skits, and everything in between – all designed to follow and reinforce the lesson for the day. We also spend time preparing for our end-of-week presentation, where you can hear your kids share a passage of Scripture that they’ve memorized and a song that they’ve learned while in Children’s Ministry… but be sure to get there early, because before the meeting we also have a special bell-ringing ceremony where we celebrate the children who have come to Christ that week.
Our Children’s Ministry curriculum welcomes infants through age 11, and ages 12-17 can enjoy our Teen Ministry program. We’re going to have a lot of fun this summer, and we hope you can join us.
Meals:
Each meal starts with a staff member’s blessing in the food. When you enter the doors to the dining hall, located in the Raws Building, you will be greeted by the buffet line. Guests are able to grab a plate and choose from the variety of options that are available during the course. Most times there are 1-2 main entrée options with 2-3 sides dishes. During breakfast, there is a cold bar that is fully stocked with assorted cereals, milk, yogurt, and freshly cut fruit. During lunches and dinners, we have a freshly prepared salad bar where guests can create their salad exactly to their choosing. Once guests find their seat at a table, our friendly servers will bring you beverages and help clear away your plates. You will also see our dining room hostess who is available to you at any time should you need any assistance. If you have a dietary restrictions or allergies, please inform your server and they would be happy to help.
