Camp Heritage

Camp Heritage (owned by the BSA, Laurel Highlands Council) will host our 2025 program. Heritage opened in 1980, and the regional church camp program there began in 1996. This will be our 27th year to use Camp Heritage.

The Camp Heritage schedule (mid-August) is ideal for homeschooled students, since they’re able to be more flexible in start-up dates for the school year. It’s a great way to finish out your summer!

The older campers (ages 15-18) will spend part of the day white-water rafting on the lower Youghiogheny River. (Campers will face several class III and IV rapids.) The younger campers will enjoy our annual beach party on the shores of Lake Courage.

Christian Living class kicks off each day’s activities.
