DESCRIPTION

Located in the beautiful Laurel Highlands, Camp Harmony has a rich 86 year history as a Christian camp and leadership center. As we draw on that heritage, we are continuing the mission of introducing people of all ages to Jesus Christ in a relevant way. Because we know that different people are excited by different activities, we offer a wide range of programs to choose from. Campers can choose from camps that concentrate on horseback riding, music and drama, sports, the great outdoors, adventures, their love of the water, and so much more.

Life is fast. Children grow up faster than we can

even imagine. Children, youth and adults alike are

constantly moving from one activity to the next.

What if there was a place for

you and your family to step

out of this fast-paced world for a little while?

At Camp Harmony we offer just such a place.

Our camps provide a safe place for all ages to

experience a whole new world around us and

the loving God who made it.

Children of all ages can choose from many

age appropriate camping experiences. Choose from

a wide range of specialty camps—from adventure and sports to

music and creativity. We offer a camp for just about every interest! In

addition to learning valuable activity skills specific to each camp like

horseback riding, archery, cooking out, and canoeing, every camper

will also gain priceless life lessons in spiritual growth, friendship,

character, and leadership.

We strive to have a lasting positive impact in the lives of our campers.

Our intention is to do so through

the influence of quality staff role

models, a safe environment where

they are encouraged to grow and

explore, and intentionally seeking

God. We would love for them to

have that experience with us at

Camp Harmony!

Welcome To Camp Harmony!

Located in the beautiful Laurel Highlands, Camp Harmony has a rich 89-year history as a Christian camp and leadership center. As we draw on that heritage, we are continuing the mission of inviting all people of all ages to grow closer in their relationship with nature,with one another, but most importantly with Jesus Christ in a relevant way.

Because we know that different people are excited by different things, we offer a wide range of programs to choose from. Campers can choose from camps that concentrate on horseback riding, music and drama, sports, the great outdoors, adventures, a love of the water, and so much more.

However, there are some things that all camps have in common. Each camper will have the opportunity to participate in the activities that make camp so enjoyable. Take a look at the example schedule on this page to see what a typical day at Camp Harmony might look like.

All of our activities are designed to challenge campers and encourage them to grow physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually at developmentally appropriate levels.

Just as God is with us in every part of our lives, we strive to demonstrate the character of God in every activity we do. However, there are times that we intentionally focus our energy on His love and Christ’s sacrifice. We do this through daily activities like DEVOTIONS, AMPLIFY, FOCUS, and EMBERS. These activities especially focus on community, teaching, worship, and discussion where campers

can share their thoughts and questions with our skilled staff as well as local pastors who donate their time to camp.

Camp Harmony philosophy & InformationCamp Harmony’s goal is to help people of all ages to grow in a closer relationship with God, nature, and one another. We as a camp are committed to providing a safe, nurturing camp community through our emphasis on caring professional staff, developmentally appropriate camper-based experiences, opportunities for service, leadership, and personal growth, and experiential education with plenty of opportunities for discovery. We strive for excellence in all we do.

All of our Senior Staff members are over the age of 18. They are all high school graduates or college students and are required to complete a thorough training course at the beginning of the summer.

All of our Leaders-In-Training are over the age of 15, complete a thorough training course, and are directly supervised by a Senior Staff member.

All staff and volunteers over the age of 18 have obtained their Act 34 and 151 Pennsylvania Clearances. As part of their training course, our staff take courses to become CPR/First Aid certified.

A qualified staff member will be on the premises to dispense medications and treat any minor illness or injury.

Our food service personnel are ServeSafe Certified. Our Food Service facilities and program are regularly inspected by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

We follow guidelines laid by the American Camping Association for counselor to camper ratios and camping regulations.

We are members in good standing with the Outdoor Ministries Association, the Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau, the Johnstown Visitors Bureau, and the Somerset County Chamber of Commerce.

We are happy to welcome and accommodate campers with special needs. Please contact us in advance so we may work through any special needs your child may have.

Camp Harmony is open to all regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability.

General Information/policies

www.campharmony.org

Lost & FoundCamp Harmony is not responsible for items left or lost. We will save items we find for two weeks following your stay at camp. If they are not claimed in that time, we will consider them unwanted and dispose of them accordingly.

MailWe encourage parents, friends, relatives, and pastors to write to a camper at camp. We recommend that you send mail as early in the week as possible due to the time it takes for delivery. In the event that your child has left prior to receiving his or her mail, it will be kept in our lost and found un-til the end of the summer camping season and then destroyed. Please do not send food or snacks to your child while at camp. We provide 3 balanced meals and a snack to every camper each day.

ConductParticipants in Camp Harmony camps, retreats, and events are asked to act in such a way that is respectful to God, other campers, staff, and camp property. The Camp Board of Directors has delegated au-thority to the Executive Director to dismiss any camper who does not abide by the guidelines.

InsuranceFor questions regarding insurance, please contact the Executive Director. Accidents/illnesses occurring while at camp are filed through the parent/guardian insurance carrier.

Homesickness at CampSome campers may experience what is known as ‘homesickness’- a general un-comfortable feeling that may cause stress due to a new or unfamiliar situation. Our staff are trained in how to properly care for and comfort a camper with these feelings and we believe growth occurs when we challenge ourselves to do new things. In this light, we do not encourage calls home unless all other attempts to encourage the camper have failed.

Challenge by ChoiceOur programs are designed to encourage an internal center of control within each person by giving individuals the choice on how they want to participate. We encour-age each participant to set their own goals and personal challenges. We strive to create a collaborative, cooperative and caring environment where choice is made by the individual and not as a result of negative peer pressure.

Policy of ModestyAs a Christian camp, Camp Harmony has in place a policy of modesty which extends to all campers and staff alike. This policy is in place to encourage mutual and self-respect amongst all campers and staff. Please keep this in mind when packing clothing for your stay at camp. Swim wear should also reflect this policy. In that light, we require that fe-male campers wear a one piece swimsuit or a suit that covers their midsection in addition to conservative neck and leg cuts and properly lined. Male campers are required to wear “boxer style” swimwear with athletic support.
