Bement Camp and Conference Center has been sold, and is operating under the new name of Charlton Woods.
The new owner is delighted to work with us, and we intend to deliver an impactful summer program there in the spirit of Bement, what we're calling The Bement Experience. That's right,
SUMMER CAMP IS BACK.
Our mission statement is:
"We, the Bement Alumni Association, in order to continue fulfilling Mary Bement's legacy created by her bequest, and in grateful appreciation for the impact that Bement Camp and Conference Center has had in so many lives, will endeavor to create in Bement Camp and Conference Center a spiritually rich environment where all individuals can explore their faith in God, enjoy and learn from His creation, experience His love in a safe and nurturing space; and to ensure a stable future for Bement, its attendees and alumni."
