Who We Are

Our Mission

Brandywine Summit Camp Meeting desires to:

create a loving, prayerful, inter-generational, Christ-centered community for the purposes of evangelism, Bible teaching, spiritual fellowship, and praise
strive to provide a Christ-like haven for the discovery and application of Biblical principles
be a center for Christians to appreciate, and to be responsible stewards of this unique, natural setting that God has provided

Our Organization

Brandywine Summit Camp Meeting is governed by a Board of nine trustees, elected by the cottage owners. The Board is responsible for setting the rules and regulations, as well as legal and financial oversight of the camp meeting. Specific activities are largely handled through several committees, such as Grounds, Finance, and Program, which are made up of cottage owners and are accountable to the board. The Ladies Auxiliary, formed in 1909, provides significant assistance to the camp meeting and its day-to-day operations through both financial contributions and service work

Rules and Regulations

Brandywine Summit Camp Meeting Association (BSCMA) was incorporated on May 5, 1919 in the State of Delaware. Here are the articles of incorporation and our association's by-law.

Since the Brandywine Summit Camp Meeting grounds are dedicated to the worship of God and for the recreation of His people, the Board of Trustees has established the following ground rules and pool rules to ensure the effective carrying out of these purposes. The purchase of any cottage is subject to the signed agreement by the buyer(s) to abide by these rules.

Becoming A Cottager

While day guests are always welcomed, some like to own their own cottage on Camp Meeting grounds. The first step is to visit the Camp Meeting for worship services and program events to become acquainted with Camp Meeting life. We also recommend renting a cottage before buying.

Prospective purchasers obtain an application from the head of Sales and Rentals. Applicants are interviewed by a committee, then must be approved by the Board of Trustees. If approved, the new cottagers are eligible to purchase any cottage available for sale.

Supported Ministries

Brandywine Summit Camp Meeting supports ministries through tithes and donations that we receive. For 2007, the Board of Trustees agreed to support the following two ministries:
