In 1961 Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Falke gave 28 acres of beautiful mountain land near the Schoharie Creek in Lexington N.Y. for the establishment of a Christian Camp. The Camp was to be used by churches within the brotherhood of Christian Churches/Churches of Christ to help them promote New Testament Christianity in the N.Y. metropolitan area. The camp became known as the Catskill Christian Assembly (CCA)
One of the primary goals of the CCA is to introduce people to Jesus Christ and to subsequently reinforce their faith in him. To accomplish this there are many camp weeks and retreats for both young people and adults throughout the year. Teaching and preaching the Gospel are highest on the list of CCA activities but there are many other leisure time activities which are beneficial to those who are looking for a change of pace from the hum drum world of the metropolitan area. Some of these activities include hiking, fishing, softball, volleyball, ping pong, campfires, etc. The fellowship of common believers at CCA is also an invaluable resource for churches within the brotherhood, especially those who are small and sometimes feel isolated in the big city.
The CCA is licensed by the New York State Dept. of Health. The N.Y.S. Dept. of Health inspects the CCA twice each year and records of these inspections are on file in the camp office. CCA is open to all persons regardless of race, color, or national origin. CCA is owned and operated by the Christian Churches/Churches of Christ of the N.Y. metropolitan area.
The camp facilities are available for use by our sponsoring churches, Bible school groups and individual families when camp activities are not scheduled. For further information call the camp manager Kenny Aurigema at 518-299-3611.
