A Camp Meeting is a religious gathering that typically takes place outdoors, often in a rural setting. These events originated in the early 19th century in the United States, primarily among Methodist and Baptist communities. Participants come together for worship, prayer, and fellowship, often lasting several days. During a Camp Meeting, attendees engage in various activities, including sermons, singing, and communal meals. Tents or temporary structures are usually set up to accommodate participants. The atmosphere is often lively and spiritual, fostering a sense of community and shared faith among those present.
