Overview

The Burry Heights Camp and Retreat Center was officially opened on March 21st, 1982. It is located approximately one kilometer south of the Trans-Canada Highway on Salmonier Line (Exit 35). Each summer the Burry Heights Board of Directors organizes a series of camps which are supported by the United Church, however campers from all denominations are welcome to attend. All camps are 5 days long, beginning on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. and ending at 12:00 p.m. on Friday.

These camps are an excellent way to make new friends, enjoy the outdoor experience and just have fun! For information on camper, volunteer, or staff applications, as well as the summer camp schedule, please click the links above.
