Description
Join us for the CONY Annual Meeting on Monday, September 28, 2026, set against the stunning backdrop of Lake George. This one-day event brings together campground owners and operators, supplier members, and industry partners for a dynamic day of connection and collaboration. Attendees will gain insights through engaging educational sessions, meet with valued suppliers and industry partners, network with fellow campground operators and owners, take part in the annual business meeting, and begin looking ahead to 2027. We’ll also celebrate the successes of the 2026 camping season and proudly announce the 2026 Best of Camp New York Award winners!
Even as the camping season is still in full swing, this mid-week gathering offers the perfect chance to step away briefly. Recharge, reconnect with peers, and prepare for the busy Columbus Day weekend and the upcoming process of closing your campground for the season.
