Mother & Daughter
Set aside three days for your daughter and you to connect at the Mother Daughter Getaway
Starting on Friday evening and running through Sunday afternoon, you'll be able to
- Ride horses
- Get out on the water
- Work through the challenge course
- Try your hand at archery
- Sit around a fire together.
In between all of it, we’ll spend time in God’s Word, looking at what it means to grow together as mothers and daughters.
Daughters ages 8 to 15 are welcome. You’ll stay in bunk-style cabins and eat together in our dining hall for the whole weekend, on the same 150-acre property Tel Hai has used to host families for over 75 years.

Our Story
A Place Set Apart Since 1950
Tel Hai means “Hill of Life.” We began in 1950 as a summer outreach to inner-city kids from New York City. A place where they could experience both a real camp and the love of God in nature.
Seventy-five years later, we are still doing the same thing, on the same land, with the same mission, just on a larger scale.
Today, Tel Hai operates year-round on 150 acres in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, partnering with churches, ministries, and families whose values align with ours. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a proud member of the Christian Camp & Conference Association.
