SUMMARY:Tuscarora Lutheran Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Grades 6-12 \nTuscarora Lutheran Youth Retreat (formerly know as Harvey Cedars) is a weekend retreat for 6th – 12th grade youth and their leaders. This retreat fosters relationships between youth of different churches to unify the Lutheran churches and youth of the South Eastern Pennsylvania Synod of the ELCA. This retreat is also unique in the fact that it is run by the pastors and leaders of our youth groups so we depend on our adult leaders who attend with their youth to help make this retreat possible. We ask our adult leaders to be a part of small groups either through teaching\, assistant teaching\, or being an extra pair of hands in the classroom. \nDownload 2026 Flyer: Tuscarora Retreat Flyer 2026 \n  \n  \n
