Burry Heights Summer Camping 2008
 Route 90 - Trans Canada Highway
 

The Burry Heights Camp and Retreat Center was officially opened on March 21, 1982. It is located approximately one kilometer south of the Trans-Canada Highway on the Salmonier Line. 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 4:00 pm and ending on Friday at 12 noon.

These camps are an excellent way to make new friends, enjoy the outdoor experience and just have fun!
