New Irv Heath Amphitheater made possible by Lions Club
Last week, at the Tom & Soni Sheehan Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville’s Camp Crosser, a ribbon cutting took place for a new amphitheater named after the late Irv Heath.
With Lions Club members, BGCN staff, board members and supporters, plus more than 50 Camp Crosser campers in attendance, Heath’s legacy was remembered for his decades of support for the Noblesville community and local youth.

“Our amphitheater will serve as a vital gathering space for our program within the backdrop of Camp Crosser’s natural landscape,” BGCN Director of Club Operations Abigail Stutesman said. “This latest addition not only enhances our camp but also aligns with our commitment to delivering high-quality programming. We can’t thank the Lions Club enough for their contribution and are honored it will stand as a tribute to Irv Heath.”
The Lions Club’s generous $15,000 contribution to Camp Crosser for an amphitheater and stage will enhance the outdoor programs that take place for more than 720 campers each year.

At Camp Crosser, campers can get out into the great outdoors, explore nature, soar through the sky on a zipline across the White River, experience the sport of archery, learn to cook over a campfire and so much more. The new amphitheater and stage will provide a needed space where announcements, award recognition and performances can take place on a daily basis during spring, summer and fall break sessions.
“When Irv Heath passed at the age of 98, he had been a member of the Noblesville Lions Club for 70 years and always had a passion for helping kids,” said Joe Arrowood, Lions Club board member and past president. “As the former director of the Boys & Girls Club, it brought back many great memories as we cut the ribbon to this amphitheater that honors him, the Lions and the Boys & Girls Club – all three things close to my heart. Our Lions Club is grateful to have the funds able to make this investment possible at the beautiful Camp Crosser.”
