The Masonic Conference Center – Patton Campus is located on just over 20 acres of beautiful hillside property in the heart of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The facilities include an indoor gym, outdoor tennis courts, a half-Olympic sized indoor pool, a state-of-the-art multimedia center and a variety of styles and sizes of meeting rooms.
We can host up to 162 overnight youth and chaperones, in rooms housing from two to six people. All campus buildings are air conditioned, and guest rooms have independent thermostat controls and private baths. This isn’t your average “summer camp!”
The Masonic Conference Center is located on the grounds of the former Thomas Ranken Patton Masonic Institution for Boys and was renovated in 1983. It was designed for use by Pennsylvania’s Masonic youth groups and to serve as home to the foundation. Another extensive renovation in 1998 upgraded the housing and conference facilities to meet adult comfort requirements, and the facilities continue to be used for both youth and adult programs.
