The Open Air Chapel is a seasonal chapel that seats 50+ and overlooks Jehnsen Lake. It is available for worship services, small weddings, and other events.
The Island is owned exclusively by Camp Brethren Heights. Located on the eastern side of Jehnsen Lake, 3/4 mile away from the camp's lakeshore, campers travel there by the camp's pontoon, canoe, or kayak. The Island is perfect for tent camping, swimming, and solitude.
Mucking is an optional camp classic where you throw on camp-provided old clothes over your swimsuit and step into the muck for a laugh-filled, experience you won't find anywhere else. It is a tradition at Camp Brethren Heights.
Carla started attending camp around 1970 and notes that it was the highlight of every summer of her childhood because of the lasting friendships that began there. Her mom and dad attended camp in the early years, and her children continued the tradition after her. Now, her grandson also loves being a fourth-generation Brethren Heights camper.
