Greatest people I ever met...
“Jumonville is the greatest! I'd encourage each and every person in this world to sign up. It will be one of the best experiences of your life and the best I believe Christian experience. My Dean and counselors were the greatest people I ever met. Thay are the most caring and understanding people in this world.”
—Bill Smith
They come from near and far!

Visit their website to find lots more additional information. | Family Autism Weekend August 24-26 is the date for our second annual Family Autism Weekend. Jumonville’s first Autism Family Retreat Weekend was held in 2011. With Rev. Dr. Edward Saxman leading ten helpers, this retreat drew nine families to the mountain.
Rev. Saxman was inspired to start this retreat program by his two nephews with Autism and saw a need to develop a community of faith where all of the children are welcome to come to Jesus just as they are. This two-day retreat is an opportunity for Christians in the Western Pennsylvania to collaborate and celebrate their children and their faith in a family-friendly environment. With a Registered Nurse, Clinical Psychologist, Speech Therapist, Educators, and Clergy staffing the retreat, parents are given resources to learn more about Autism and develop strategies to help their children as well as the peace of mind that their children would be with professionals while they were away. |
