Camp Brethren Heights Philosophy
The primary goal of Camp Brethren Heights is to promote a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We provide a natural setting where campers can explore God's plan. Campers are encouraged to use the Bible in their own personal devotions. Brethren heritage is taught, especially as it relates to its New Testament source. Campers are encouraged to be more aware of the natural world in which they live and the camp tries to enable them to restore an ecological balance in their own communities. Camp Brethren Heights provides a very unique opportunity for Christian Education which is not available in most Church settings.
