Greene Hills- Formerly the Barree Iron Forge in the 1800's, the United Methodist Church acquired the property in 1963. Greene Hills Camp consists of 220 acres of woods, fields, wetland, stream and river; it is surrounded on three sides by the Rothrock State Forest with the Little Juniata River as the southern border. The camp consists of three distinct areas. We provide a place where all are welcomed and challenged to follow Jesus.

History- Brief History of Greene Hills
1963: On June 27, the Methodist Church purchased what is now known as Greene Hills Camp from Betty Jane (Greene) Heine and husband Martin H. Heine. This property consisted of approximately 226 acres, the residue of the Barree Forge property, and was an operating dairy farm until this time. A public sale was made of the machinery, dairy equipment and livestock, and the Lodge was turned into a retreat center.
Pennsylvania House Furniture, Lewisburg, Pa, provided all the furniture on the first floor. In April of 1964, plans were implemented for construction of a rustic summer camp. This entailed drilling a well, building a pump house, and installing a sewage system. A 24'x70' dining hall was built by E. D. Shope of Huntingdon, and the camping area consisted of five tents and six hogans. The local unit of the U.S. Army Reserves and various other volunteer workers helped in the construction of the summer camp. The cabins currently in use, replacing the tents and hogans, were built in 1995.
