Summit Lake is a Christian Retreat Center located near Emmitsburg, MD, just over the mountain from Mount Saint Mary’s University. Now available September through May, we facilitate church and school groups of up to 350 for religious and educational retreats, summer camp and outdoor education. Summit Lake is 20 minutes from Liberty Mountain and is an ideal spot for ski retreats. We are open September through May, and all buildings are heated during winter months. Meeting rooms and lodges are air conditioned during warmer months.
It is our prayer and expectation that the atmosphere at Summit Lake will facilitate your spiritual and educational goals and enrich your life for years to come. Summit Lake is situated in a valley near the top of a mountain. It is totally secluded but only 10 minutes from a major highway. As you enter the gate, allow your mind to rest, and open your heart to the Creator and His beauty all around you.
