Camp Harmony Philosophy & Information
Camp 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 are at least 18 years of age or high school graduates. They are all 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 have submitted a clean federal background check. As part of their training course, our staff complete courses to become CPR/First Aid certified. A qualified health practitioner will be on the premises to dispense medications and treat any minor illness or injury.
Our Food Service & Hospitality Director is ServeSafe Certified and trains every food service employee in proper food handling and preparing techniques.. Our Food Service facilities and program are regularly inspected by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. 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, gender, age, or special needs.
