Purchased in fall 1943 for $12,000 from Methodists who had run a camp there, starting on just 45 acres that have since grown to 600; it has partnered with the Pittsburgh Kids Foundation since 1963 and now draws about 80% of its business from non-Mennonite groups, prompting its 2021 rebrand from 'Laurelville Mennonite Church Center' to 'Laurelville Retreat Center'.
