MISSIONS
CAMP EDER
914 Mt. Hope Road, Fairfield, PA, 17320
Camp Eder was born of a dream when Rev. A. W. Geigley donated 155 acres to the Southern Pennsylvania District Church of the Brethren in 1958. When the land was transferred, Rev. Geigley shared his dream when he said, “We came to think of this spot as a place where children and young people could come to listen to the sounds of nature, away from the noise of men, and learn through God’s creation to feel His presence.”

CROSS KEYS VILLAGE - THE BRETHREN HOME COMMUNITY
2990 Carlisle Pike, New Oxford, Pennsylvania 17350
Cross Keys Village - The Brethren Home Community was founded when church leaders and congregations of the Southern Pennsylvania District of the Church of the Brethren bought a farmhouse near Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and founded the Brethren Home for the Aged at Huntsdale, Pennsylvania. Tragically, this facility was ravaged by fire in 1951. Brethren Home trustees and supporters then purchased the former Cross Keys Hotel near New Oxford and relocated in 1952. As they continued to expand, their small campus enlarged from 19 to 334 acres. Gradually they have evolved into a modern Continuing Care Retirement Community which also provides residential housing for villagers in cottages.
