Program areas at Crestfield Camp and Conference Center
Crestfield Camp and Conference Center begas as a Christian summer camp in 1948. We were the church camp for the Pittsburgh Presbytery in Allegheny Count. This is a primary component in fulfilling our mission and ministry. Each summer we welcome children from Western PA to our camp to learn and engage more deeply in their faith. Our philosophy is to focus on small group camping, following Jesus as our guide, and challenging campers by choice. A typical day consists of morning worship, bible study, activity blocks (archery, pool time, canoeing, high and low rope courses, climbing wall, creek hikes, and other games), and meals. We continue as a Presbyterian/Christian camp and Conference Center in the PC(USA). Every participant in camp is subsidized.
Throughout the year, Crestfield hosts a number of retreats from outside groups. These include various churches, quilting and scrapbooking groups, universities, youth groups, and number of others. We serve folks from all kinds of backgrounds and provide a sacred space for these groups.
Throughout the year, Crestfield hosts a number of retreats. These include Middle/High School Retreat, Confirmation Retreat, and Tweener Retreat. Each opportunity is unique and incorporates Christian teaching and emphasis throughout the retreat experience. We serve folks from a number of different congregations.
