Camp Meetings are religious gatherings that originated in the early 19th century, primarily among Methodist and Baptist denominations in the United States. These events typically take place outdoors or in temporary structures, allowing communities to come together for worship, preaching, and fellowship. They often last several days and include various activities such as singing, prayer, and communal meals. The purpose of Camp Meetings is to promote spiritual renewal and evangelism. Participants often experience a sense of community and shared faith, as they engage in discussions and activities that strengthen their beliefs. These gatherings have played a significant role in the growth of American religious movements.
