Since 1953, Bluestone has been a
place apart where thousands have
heard and learned about Jesus Christ,
his church, and his promise. It is sacred
space where people have forged
lifetime friendships as they become
part of the Bluestone family. It is our
belief that Bluestone is a blessed place,
where the magnificence of God’s
creation is equaled by the exemplary
community of faith that is created
there.
Friends of Bluestone is a West Virginia
Non Profit Corporation organized solely
to support the ministries of Bluestone
Camp & Retreat. Our purpose, as
Friends of Bluestone, is to raise funds for
the maintenance and upkeep for this
special place, thereby enabling and
advancing Christ’s ministry … with faith
and in the great hope that God will
bless many, through Bluestone, for
years to come.
We invite you to join our cause to
provide and invest in Bluestone’s future
by giving generously and faithfully. All
donations are tax deductible.
We will gladly receive any amount of
money in support of our cause. Please
send your donation to the address
listed at the bottom of this page.
Checks may be made payable to:
