Heidi Mnkandhla, Camp Susque’s newest School of Discovery Coordinator, started as Year Round Staff in May 2024. Heidi was born and raised in Lycoming County and is a graduate from Montoursville High School. Shortly after graduation, she moved to Dallas, TX, where she lived for 8 years. During that time, she met her husband, Raphael Mnkandhla, at Bible College. They served together in the local church as children’s ministry workers, youth pastors, and campus pastors. In 2015, God called them back to PA to lead City Church in Williamsport. They have a very diverse large family and they love it. Raphael is from Zimbabwe, Africa. He and Heidi have 6 beautiful children; 3 adopted through foster care and 3 biological. Heidi is a graduate from Liberty university Online with a BA in Education.
Working at Susque, Heidi’s days look like: booking field trips for schools to attend a day here filled with educational activities, organizing the annual Homeschool Retreat and holding a variety of educational classes for the community to attend throughout the year. These classes include “Rain or Shine,” Archery, Aquatic Ecology, Climbing Wall, Ropes Course, Pottery, PA Forestry, Mother/Son Riflery Night, Daddy Daughter Dance, Christmas Around the World and so much more!
Heidi is thrilled to be a part of providing a unique space for students to come and experience their Creator in the beauty of this world through educational, hands- on-experiences.
