Our mission is to provide excellent facilities and Christian hospitality through disciple-making programs that ignite a passionate spiritual connection with Jesus. Nestled in a beautiful mountain setting, we encourage campers to explore nature in a secure environment, allowing them to interact with people of different backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities.
"We believe that the greatest events in our history are the quiet moments where individuals connect or reconnect with their Maker, Savior, and Lord."

75 Years of Ministry
A humble beginning for a ministry that would eventually serve thousands.
Our legacy began when the Allegheny Conference of the United Brethren Church purchased a 101-acre farm for $4,000.
Following years of site preparation by volunteer clergy and laypersons, the grounds were dedicated.
Our inaugural summer camping season launched. In those early days, campers stayed in cabins constructed from surplus World War II army barracks.
We added our signature swimming pool.
Construction of the Camp Center — a significant milestone in the camp's growth.
Original cabins were replaced with year-round lodges.
Dedication of the Heartwood Center, which transformed our dining and athletic capabilities.
We expanded our ministry even further with the Christian Wrangler Program, allowing for summer equestrian events.
As we celebrate 75 years, we remain committed to growing our facilities and programs to ensure that Camp Allegheny remains a beacon of faith for generations to come.
Built on a Biblical Framework
Camp Allegheny operates on a biblical theoretical framework. This framework remains similar to the original charter formed with the founding of Camp Allegheny in 1949. Even though this framework is used for the Christian, faith-based portion of our programming, the secondary, or contracted, side of operations for outside, private use continues to be inclusive and not subject to this same threshold. These guiding principles and beliefs shape the program activities that we lead, especially during summer camp — they are not expected to be a part of the operations of any other group that attends.
