About the provider

Christian Berets was founded in 1970. The camp in Long Barn was ready for guests in June 1973, and the facility was renamed Whispering Pines Conference and Retreat Center in 2007 before changing back to Christian Berets Conference and Retreat Center in 2012. Christian Berets is a member of the American Camp Association, and the facility is described as fully functional and ADA compliant. Its mission is to reach out and care for those with special needs and their families by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through camping, retreats, and a variety of activities.
