"The convocations of the church, as in camp meetings, the assemblies of the home church, and all occasions where there is personal labor for souls, are God’s appointed opportunities for giving the early and the latter rain." LDE 188.1
“We must have the power of God in our camp meetings, or we shall not be able to prevail against the enemy of souls. Christ says: “Without Me ye can do nothing.” Those who gather at camp meetings must be impressed with the fact that the object of the meetings is to attain to a higher Christian experience, to advance in the knowledge of God, to become strengthened with spiritual vigor; and unless we realize this, the meetings will to us be fruitless.” 6 T 45
Our campmeeting will be located on the property of the Christian Education Center, 100 Lombard Rd, Caribou, ME 04736. It is a beautiful location with natural surroundings. It feels and looks like wilderness, but it is only 5 minutes from downtown Caribou. The Christian Education Center is a charitable organization created by SDA members for outreach in Northern Maine. This property encompasses about 60 acres of beautiful private grounds including open fields, evergreen trees, scenic ponds, and gravel roads. It is about 5 minutes from where groceries and supplies can be found in the 2 grocery stores, hardware store, and multiple convenience stores. There is potable water onsite at the pump house. There are many areas for tenting and RV parking (without hookup as the electric hook ups are spoken for). The main building has men's and women's bathrooms including showers. There are several hotels/motels in the area (do an internet search). But, they fill up quickly during the summer. If you are considering staying in one, it is recommended that you reserve your room sooner than later. There are also a limited number of airbnbs and vrbos available.
