What is Camp Blue Diamond?
Located in Central PA near State College and Altoona, Camp Blue Diamond (CBD) is a year-round, ACA accredited, Christian camp and retreat center.
Changes caused by Corona Virus Pandemic:
Camp Blue Diamond's RV Campground and Cabins will be open starting May 15th. CBD is planning to have the RV Campground and the Lakeside and Rising Sun cabins available for guests. You may contact the camp office for details or to make a reservation. Cabin rentals will be limited to groups of ten or less, and all families/groups must practice social distancing.
When Huntingdon County enters the PA Yellow Phase (hopefully in late May or June), CBD should be allowed to accommodate cabin and pavilion groups of up to 25.
Because of state restrictions and guidelines, Camp Blue Diamond will not offer summer resident camp in 2020. CBD will be offering a virtual camp experience for children and youth who have already signed up for camp. This will include Bible studies, crafts, music and nature activities. The CBD office will contact registered campers and inform them about the virtual camp options. CBD is planning to hold Family Camp in August, and may add a second Family Camp.
CBD will offer co-ed residential, adventure and family summer camps for children, youth and adults in 2021. Information about these camps, and registration will begin in November. CBD is home to the Centre County Camp Cadet and Penn State's Shaver's Creek Outdoor School.
CBD has a lodge, cabins, pavilions and a 46 site RV & tent campground available to family, church, school and not-for-profit groups for rental. Camp can accommodate up to 180 guests. Alcohol, vaping, tobacco, and motorized recreational vehicles are not permitted. Pets only in the RV campground. Firearms only allowed by hunters during hunting season.
