A New Chapter for the Chilmark Community Center

Our website is currently under construction as we take this moment—following the recent RFP process—to relaunch with greater clarity, transparency, and a future-forward vision for the Chilmark Community Center.

The past few years have asked a lot of our community. As we refresh the CCC website, we’re also stepping into a new season with intention—reaffirming what has always made the CCC special: people coming together in community.

Community doesn’t thrive on its own. It grows when people show up, share their voices and ideas, participate, and invite others to do the same. This season, we’re creating space for open, thoughtful, and generative conversation, grounded in care, curiosity, and mutual respect.

Rooted in the traditions and joys that have shaped past summers—and responsive to the needs of this moment—we invite everyone who loves and cares about the CCC to join us in this next chapter. Be present. Be heard. Help shape a vibrant, inclusive future for the CCC and the broader Chilmark community.

A Registration FAQ is available and will continue to be updated as details evolve.
