Deer Valley YMCA Family Camp

Deer Valley YMCA Camp is located in Fort Hill, Pennsylvania, in the United States and currently sits on 742 acres of mountainous lands. Deer Valley operates 10 months out of the year and offers the camping experience to different groups and organizations from all around the country.
== History ==
The land that Deer Valley currently occupies belonged to Howard G. Peck dating back to the early 1800s. In the year of 1931 Curtis Howard "Doc" Springer came from Florida to open a health resort. He purchased and constructed his resort on the Peck property. “Haven of Rest” was a free resort, running solely on donations. Springer was forced to close the resort in 1937 when the cost of construction resulted in money problems. The land was reverted to Howard Peck. Soon after, Captain Colon B. Harris rented the land and the winter resort “Ski Trains” was born. This resort became well known throughout the late 1930s among the neighboring states. But in the year 1938 Harris left to take a job in Washington DC, and due to the poor health of Howard Peck, resulted in the sale of the Deer Valley property to The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (O.I.O.F.). The O.I.O.F had plans to open a vacation spot for families but due to disagreements forfeited the land back to Howard Peck. During this time a group of six men purchased the land. They named the new company “Deer Valley Inc” and went about constructing a large 125-acre lake on the property. Deer Valley Inc. tried to sell the property to the Boy Scouts but was unsuccessful. The Director of Camping Services for the Pittsburgh YMCA Thomas Reid Alexander was then introduced to the property by his son, Thomas Reid Alexander Jr. On December 30, 1952 the YMCA of Pittsburgh, who still currently owns the land, purchased the property. Thomas Reid Alexander Sr, his Wife Gladys, their children Molly and Thomas
ran the camp at Deer Valley, until Thomas Reid Alexander's death in 1966
In 1957 Deer Valley YMCA Family Camp opened for the first season of family camp. This first summer the camp served 838 campers, during an eight-week season. In 1972 the camp underwent construction to winterize the facilities to become a year round experience and now operates 10 months out of the year.
