YMCA Camp Kresge Dining Hall

Situated along the serene shores of Beaver Lake in White Haven, Pennsylvania, the new dining lodge at YMCA’s Camp Kresge provides a welcoming, rustic retreat for campers to gather and enjoy meals together. Spanning 6,000 square feet, this warm, open space features exposed wood trusses and abundant glass openings, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere that blurs the line between indoors and nature. Large doorways connect the dining area seamlessly to the outdoors, offering stunning views of the lake and surrounding forest.

Inside, the state-of-the-art kitchen is designed for efficiency and cleanliness, with FRP walls that make maintenance a breeze, ensuring a safe and sanitary environment for meal preparation. The lodge’s exterior combines heavy timber construction with cultured stone veneer, complemented by towering chimneys that add to the lodge’s classic, rustic charm. Every architectural detail is crafted to reflect Camp Kresge’s natural surroundings while offering campers a modern, comfortable space to gather and bond. This dining lodge is more than a place to eat—it’s a hub for connection, relaxation, and appreciation of the beautiful Pennsylvania wilderness.
