Exciting Pittsburgh, PA Events This Weekend
More Than Just Events
A Celebration of Community
Here at Roaring Run, we’ve created a space where everyone feels like they belong. Whether it’s your first stay or your tenth season, our events in Pennsylvania are crafted to make you feel included, engaged, and inspired to have fun. Our goal? To make sure every camper feels welcome, from the smallest child with sticky fingers and wide eyes to the retiree soaking up summer with a smile and a lawn chair.
We believe in celebrating the little things—like themed costume parades, water balloon fights, and Sunday morning bingo—and turning them into lifelong memories. When we say “community,” we mean kids making friends in mini golf matches, neighbors trading s’mores recipes, and families dancing together beneath string lights and a mountain sky.
