Mahaffey Camp is a 45 acre campground used for retreats, bible schools, youth camps and most notably the annual 10 day Camp Meeting in July which draws thousands of attendees. Originally known as the Susquehanna Park Holiness Camp Meeting Association, Mahaffey Camp was started by C&MA minister Reverend William Bryenton in 1894 as a revival service. The first Camp Meeting was held about a mile from the present location, which was offered for use by James Stevenson and later donated to the camp. In 1897, the first ten cottages were built and they are still used today. There are a total of 200 personal cabins and 3 dormitories at the site. The annual meeting features speakers every year and one of the most notable was Dr. Tozier, who died in 1963 after many years of service and leadership.
