Program
Memorial Day through Labor Day Weekend, a full-time chaplain is
employed by the Pennsylvania Council of Churches to provide nondenominational
worship services each Sunday. A volunteer teacher is available each
week, also, to provide a special "Sunday School"
experience for the children.
Worship
services and Sunday school are held at 9:30 a.m. in the park
Amphitheater. The
Chaplain also tries to visit each of the campsites every weekend
for the purpose of inviting the campers to the worship service and
to inform them of additional activities which are sponsored by the
chaplaincy program.

Southern Pennsylvania District of the Church of the Brethren assists
in sponsorship of the chaplaincy program at Codorus.
