As requested by the Dwight Mission community, the Board of Directors will host public meetings to discuss the current situation, answer questions, and hear responses and concerns.
In November Dwight Mission released a statement that operations would cease effective Dec. 15, 2019
The statement went on to say, “In the midst of diligent work, prayers, and discernment we continue to pursue the best options for the facility with hopes to develop a model to extend the legacy to future generations. In the interim we recommend campers seek out opportunities for camp and other connectional ministries through their church and Presbytery for 2020. We ask for our community's continued prayers in these trying times.”

A post in early November revealed that the mission has run at a “considerable loss. This was made possible primarily by financial assets from the past. That safety net of reserve funds has diminished greatly and is nearly exhausted. This means that if the ministry of Dwight Mission is to continue, significant changes must be made immediately.”
Two meetings are scheduled for Saturday, January 18. Zoom conferencing will provided for those unable to attend in person, but all are encouraged to attend if possible.
