ATTB
ATTB is an arconym for A Time To Build, the capital campaign and construction project at Camp that is developing Promise Woods Cabins and the Promise Center. The main goal of the project is to create a Summer Camp Village of Cabins and a multi-use meeting space which would also serve as lodging and meeting space for year-round guest groups.
The project included two major Stewardship & Sustainability features:
- Energy Sustainability: All structures were built to meet or exceed best practices in energy conservation, especially the cabins. On-demand Water Heaters were selected to save energy with largely week-end only usage. A 23 kW solar panel array was added to the roof of the Promise Center to offset most of the electric needs of all Promise Woods buildings.
- Forestry Stewardship Program: Wood Products were selected that would use mature Northern White Pine, a species that follows human disturbance of the better suited and more diverse Oak-Heath Community Mixed Forest. By logging out pine for the project, areas of the forest could be managed in preference Oak-Heath.

What Are You Tapped Into?
Yesterday we began tapping maple trees, officially opening maple syrup making season at Camp Deerpark! Last year, the transition kept us from producing syrup, so it feels great to be back to it.

What Does it Mean to be Spirit-Led with Pastor Mark Perri
One small contribution I can make is to share story with you. This could be valuable in several ways: First, I’m coming to the Mennonites from the outside — from non-denominational GenX “simple/ organic/ emergent church“. Sometimes people coming from outside-in have a helpful perspective for those trying to move from inside-out. Second, as an…

Winter: Life Under the Surface
On the surface, winter with its cracking and cold seems like the enemy of life. Everything sleeps as though dead, and Camp — quiet and empty — sits waiting. But under the surface, winter is revealed to be a friend to life, not an enemy. In the deep frost, God opens the soil for Spring’s…

What is A Mission Statement?
On the LMC NYC District call this month, Dr. Tiffany shared critical information on what is and what is not a mission statement.
