Summer Camp Highlights

Horse Camp
July 19-24
Grades 6-11
Crestfield introduces a new camp this year for horse lovers! Campers will travel to Slippery Rock University's Equestrian Center for 4 afternoons of horse interactions. Campers will learn safety around horses, how to care for, groom and saddle horses as well as learn riding skills. In addition to horse encounters, campers will enjoy other Crestfield activities such as worship, Bible Study, archery, canoeing, climbing wall and much more. This camp is limited to 10 campers so register today!

Little Ones and Loved Ones
June 30-July 2
August 17-19
It's Back! This camp promises to be the most meaningful 4 days and 3 nights that you'll spend with your child all year long! Parents, grandparents, or relatives and their children (age 3 to 7) will grow in God's Word as together they explore the Bible, enjoy the beauty of Crestfield and experience all the fun that camp has to offer. Participants stay in comfortable Scott Lodge. This is a great opportunity for an older child to attend Genesis Camp (first timers) and for you to be on the grounds with a younger child. Call Becky if you have any questions.

HELP NEEDED:

Pot holes at Crestfield
The snow Crestfield experienced over the winter has now thawed. With the thaw we have discovered that our roads are more mud than gravel. If you have access to any excess gravel that would help to eliminate the mud and make our roads drivable again, please contact Mike, Crestfield's buildings and grounds keeper at Mike@Crestfield.net.


Help Needed
Are you a Registered Nurse longing to spend a week in the great outdoors? Crestfield is looking for volunteer RNs to help for one week at summer camp being the health care provider. Responsibilities include administering medications, triaging and treating injuries. Crestfield provides an air conditioned room in Scott Lodge, meals you don't need to cook or clean up, lots of fun and the opportunity to grow in your faith. If you have a current PA nursing license and are interested, please contact Betty at bangelini@pghpresbytery.org. Bartering for your child's /grandchild's week of camp is a possibility.
