Owner Churches

Owner Churches are churches that own Camp through their participation in the NYC Council of Mennonite Churches (NYCCMC). As a ministry of these Owner Churches, Camp seeks to serve and strengthen these churches and extend their ministry space as they accomplish their mission. Owner churches may recommend church members as candidates to the Camp Board of Directors, subject to a approval process detailed in the By-laws. In the past, Camp has sought to maintain a majority of board seats held by members of Owner Churches. Owner Churches typically qualify for a discount on all services, events, and programs related to Camp and may qualify for special events and programming.
