Camp Meeting

A camp meeting is a religious gathering typically held outdoors over several days or weeks, where people come together for worship, preaching, singing, and community fellowship. Originating in the 19th century, especially within Protestant and Methodist traditions, it serves as an extended revival event aimed at spiritual renewal and demonstration of faith. Participants often camp onsite, creating a communal atmosphere of devotion and shared experience. Camp meetings combine worship with social connection, fostering spiritual growth and reinforcing faith within the community.
