Kingswood is a 766 acre site in the Catskill Mountains at Hancock, New York. Huge forests, open fields, stunning views, rolling hills. A quiet, natural setting in which development of positive, cooperative experiences is encouraged. This setting provides opportunities for strengthening of families, nurturing of friendships, renewing of spirit, and growing in respect for God's Creation. Kingswood is the setting for several programs. Families, couples, and friends can rent one of our unique campsites anytime during the summer and hike the trails, swim and boat in the lake, or just relax!

The Woodsmoke Camp for Kids provides an opportunity for kids to spend time away from home learning about the environment, discussing spiritual views, having fun swimming, hiking, and of course, making friends. Service events take place throughout the year and are a great opportunity for all ages to become more involved, get to know other camping community members, and give back to the camp. Afterall, without the Kingswood volunteer community, Kingswood would not exist! One other special program that everyone can participate in is the Stone Ministry program.
Kingswood is one of three ACA accredited camps owned and operated by the New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church and is a nonprofit organization. Our Farmhouse is available for rentals from mid-September to late May and is a perfect setting for retreats, reunions and group and family gatherings.
Finally, whichever way you can get to Kingswood, we are absolutely positive that you will enjoy its beauty, nature, community, and peaceful setting.
