Camp Findley is actively blessing the body of Jesus Christ by providing a safe and natural environment for recruiting, resourcing, releasing, and refreshing spiritual leaders of all ages through connectional relationships.  Worshiping, discipling, serving, and nurturing friendships are the cornerstones of the camping, retreat, and conference center.



Camp Findley has been offering Christian camping and retreat opportunities to the people of Western New York, Western Pennsylvania, and Ohio for over 70 years. For several generations, this holy ground has been used to call people of all ages into a deeper relationship with Christ and God's beautiful creation. We celebrate the fact that thousands of men, women and children have had life-transforming experiences at Camp and look forward to continuing this ministry.





We are really excited about our summer camp programs this year! We have over 25 programs for  children and youth, ages 6-18, which vary in length from a couple of days to two weeks long.  In addition to all of the "camp favorites" like swimming, arts and crafts, basketball, volleyball, and hiking we offer tons of unique activities that include target skills, culinary arts, tent camping, sports, slip-n-slide, and horseback riding.



A Solid Foundation Camp gives children a solid foundation that lasts a lifetime. Camp equips youth for success at school, at home, at church, and in the world by building them up and giving them the gifts of self-confidence, faith in God, and a healthy sense of self-worth. Campers just don't hear about something, they do it! Everything at camp is hands on, feet on, and heads up. Campers become interested, get involved, and achieve.



Our programs are run and campers are cared for by a group of people who are passionate about the effect they can have on a camper's life. Whether staff or volunteer, these loving people are the key to a positive camping experience. All are of college age or older, and are chosen  for their maturity and personal integrity, skills, patience, and desire to be Christian role models for youth, and share in the spirit of fun and excitement at camp. All staff and volunteers fill out an application, sign a disclosure statement, and provide references. Applicants are carefully screened and, if chosen, supervised by camping professionals. Both staff and volunteers undergo valuable training in health and safety, child development, teaching methods, and group dynamics.



The Message The faith message we send is a message that encourages youth to grow in their love and knowledge of Jesus Christ. An essential part of the camp experience is spiritual growth - gaining a better understanding of the importance of fundamental values in their relationship to God, to others, and to the environment. While we are an official extension of the United Methodist Church, we have found many of our campers come from other churches or have no church affiliation. Adult leaders are sensitive to the differing backgrounds represented, while striving to make the Christian life real by presenting God's word and love as shown in Jesus Christ. Programs are designed to be age appropriate and include music, worship, drama, Bible exploration and memorization, and prayer.



We believe in what we do. Our staff strives to make a difference because they have had similar experiences as children. Camp is fun and gives youth wonderful gifts. We know because we were those youth.
