Interested in membership on the Board of Directors of Camp Buckeye?

    In 1984, a non-profit organization formed for the purpose of purchasing Camp Buckeye and guiding its new mission. “Grass Roots Ministries, Inc” became the name of this collective effort to purchase the former scout facility and give it a new purpose…an outreach camp….a safe place for youth to enjoy God’s handiwork and experience God’s love through a camping experience with dedicated counselors and staff. To exalt Christ in His natural setting as we reach out to children and adults in support of local families, churches, and communities

    Grass Roots Ministries is a local mission; independent; and inter-denominational. Our mission. …. God, Kids & the Woods ….connecting and growing

    As a Board Member of Camp Buckeye, you would be joining approximately eight other active citizens and professionals who meet together on the second Monday of each month at 5:00 pm, as a policy-making and governing body. Expectations of you as a Board Member would include attendance and participation at the monthly Board meetings, committee participation, and positive representation of Camp Buckeye in the community. Past and present Board members have estimated their involvement at 2-4 hours a month, depending on ministry needs at any particular time. Monthly meetings average 2 hours in length. We typically meet at our camp lodge.

    If this mission excites you, please consider this letter as an invitation to submit an application for membership as an active member of our Board. Our Board will review your application and contact you regarding a personal meeting with the board. If you serve on Camp Buckeye Board, this is one way of responding to a community need and furthering the Kingdom of God. If you have any questions about our ministry or the Board, please ask for Matt at the camp 330-756-2380.

Sincerely,
Matthew King
