Lake Park Society 

Lake Park Society is an innovative non-profit organization that is appointed by the Village of Cumberland to operate the Cumberland Lake Park Campground. Among its many initiatives, Lake Park Society creates jobs for local youth, stewards the park and provides low-barrier outdoor experiences that celebrate nature, build community and inspire learning. They operate many onsite programs for children, many of which are low-cost barrier or free, and that are centered around inviting children to be involved in the care and enjoyment of the park as much as possible.
