About Campwoods GroundsWhat used to be a popular Methodist camp ground, is now home to 44 families who have converted summer cottages into full-time homes. Campwoods Grounds was started back in the early 19th century when families pitched tents across the property and attended Bible studies, revival sessions, and Sunday services. It was incorporated in 1834.
No branch of the Methodist Church has been officially involved in the Campwoods meetings since 1947, but Campwoods Grounds is said to be the oldest Methodist camp meeting in the United States. The Ossining Camp Meeting Association (OCMA) still tends to the Campwoods Auditorium where many events are held and are open to the public. |
Today's Campwoods residents enjoy the diversity and uniqueness of this community. Homeowners work together to better the community and maintain the tranquil charm of our surroundings.
