The Camillus Erie Canal Park is under the umbrella of the Town of Camillus Parks and Recreation Department It is maintained and operated by an all volunteer group . Volunteers are the back bone of the park. Over thirty-five years ago a small band of volunteers armed with rakes shovels and saws began clearing the 164 acre site. Today, we have over 420 acres and 130 volunteers. Orientation Day and other training opportunities are available. A number of social events for volunteers are held throughout the year. To receive a volunteer application you may call 315-488-3409 , E-Mail ECC (need address for link here) or stop in at Sims' Store.

The Camillus Canal Society is governed by an elected Board of Directors and Executive Committee. It oversees the operations of the park. A membership in the society supports the Aqueduct Restoration project, educational programs and assists us in obtaining grants.
