Location - Stone Mountain Adventures is nestled in the scenic mountains of central Pennsylvania. Surrounded by thousands of acres of deciduous forest, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, lakes, rivers, streams and even caves, we are in an ideal setting for our summer camp. We are located 20 miles south of Penn State University near the town of Huntingdon, PA. We are approximately four and a half hours from New York City, and three hours from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington D.C.

Climate - Stone Mountain Adventures' location in the Alleghany Mountains provides warm sunny days and cool crisp nights. The mountain air is clean and fresh. In our remote setting there is very little light pollution so the view of the stars at night is incredible and inspirational. If you are persistent and patient you are almost guaranteed to see at shooting star at Stone Mountain Adventures. The most outstanding feature of the site is its natural beauty!

Farm House - This is the epicenter of camp and where the dining hall, the bathrooms, the kitchen, the first aid station and the camp offices are located. The campers live in six cabins that surround the farm house. Nestled in the mountains, the farm house is the year-round home of Anne & Jud Millar. The farm house is a historic structure built over 160 years ago from timber felled in the immediate surrounding forests. The farm house is a warm and welcoming building that helps make campers feel at home at SMA.

Cabins - Our cabins are rustic and comfortable and will be your summer home while you are at SMA. We have six cabins that surround the farm house, three for the girls and three for the boys. Cabins have bunk beds and accommodate 8-10 campers and one counselor. There is electricity in the cabins but no running water as bathrooms and showers are a short walk to the farm house. Cabins are divided by gender and by age. You will be in a cabin with campers your own age.

Medical Facilities and Medications - It is our policy that all medications are kept safely and distributed by our camp staff. Medications will be distributed at mealtimes or when necessary. All minor medical issues are cared for by our camp medical staff. We have a camp doctor who makes house calls at SMA. We are located eight miles from JC Blair Memorial Hospital with Emergency Room Service.

Meals - Meals are taken in our dining hall located in the farm house. The food at Stone Mountain Adventures is exceptional. As we are a smaller camp our veteran cook can focus on quality rather than quantity. We have fresh, healthy food at every meal and if you sign up for the cooking activity you can even help prepare dinner! All meals are buffet style; help yourself and eat as much as you want. We offer a real vegetarian option at every meal.

Game Room - Close to the farm house is our game room. The main attractions in the game room include the ping pong table, pool table and foosball table. The game room is located in a building called "the Rhino" and gets lots of use during our hour of early evening free time called the "Power Hour of Freedom."

How did SMA gets its name?

From Horsepower Adventures to Stone Mountain Adventures... Pam and Biff Houldin started Stone Mountain Adventures in the summer of 1983. Pam and Biff, parents of 8 children (including the current co-owner Jud Millar), lived on a horse farm called Horsepower Farm and ran a therapeutic riding program for people with disabilities. They decided to build a few cabins, remodel their country kitchen and start a summer program for able-bodied campers.  They named the camp Horsepower Adventures. The first summer there were 28 campers first session and 19 campers second session. Things went well and as the years went by the camp grew a little and more adventure activities were added. In the winter of 1987 Pam & Biff decided to change the name of the camp because horseback riding was only one of many outdoor adventure activities offered at camp. Stone Mountain Adventures is located in the rolling hills of Stone Valley at the foot of Stone Mountain in central Pennsylvania.  The name Stone Mountain Adventures seemed like a natural fit.
