Connection to Mont Lawn Camp The Bowery Mission was one of many domestic charities formerly sponsored by the Christian Herald under the leadership of Louis Klopsch. In 1894, with money left over from a food drive, Klopsch established a children's home at Mont Lawn in Upper Nyack, New York to serve children from immigrant families living in the Lower East Side. It remained at Nyack-on-the-Hudson for 69 years before it moved to the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania in 1961. After the Herald ceased publication in 1992, Mont Lawn Camp continued under the ownership and operation of The Bowery Mission.
