The newest addition to Camp Allegheny's onsite activities is it's Game Room in the Acorn building. For those of you who have been to Camp Allegheny in the past, this is our old Dining Hall. We have outfitted it with ping pong tables, pool tables, foosball, air hockey, giant checkers and chess sets, and a sound system on which to play your tunes. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the company of friends or family on your retreat. Also, contact the camp for information regarding our free Sunday evening get togethers for Youth groups!
Indoor Gymnasium
Camp Allegheny's indoor gymnasium allows the fun to continue no matter what the weather is doing! The gym can be a full basketball court, two volleyball courts, or just a giant open space for many other activities. Reserve it for your group to have to itself, or just enjoy our open gym times. Either way you'll find this facility adds a bit of security and versatility to your retreat!
Indoor Climbing Wall
The indoor climbing wall offers a high adventure experience that is a lot of fun and can teach lessons appropriate to any theme or curriculum. Experienced, trained staff will lead your group and ensure your safety as you scale the 28 foot wall. They will also help you debrief the experience in a way appropriate to your group and age level.
