Congregations of the Western PA Conference know the importance of strengthening Christ-focused foundations of all disciples.
One way we nurture this personal growth is through the programs and facilities of our four camps and retreat center. Olmsted Manor, Wesley Woods, Camp Allegheny, and Jumonville are all dedicated to serving the diverse population of Western PA by offering unique experiences for connecting with God, having fun, and developing spiritual maturity in a natural setting.

Join us as we paddle along lakes and rivers, camp on the shoreline, and learn about Jesus around the campfire. Previous canoeing experience is helpful, but not necessary. Canoeing and camping equipment, meals, and transportation are included.
