DIMOCK
Camp Meeting Ground
Serving Christ in the Endless Mountains
The Dimock Camp Meeting traces its roots back to 1875 when a decision was made
by several Methodist Episcopal congregations in the region to create "a
permanent campmeeting ground" in the then Wyalusing District of the Methodist
Church. Its purposes were spiritual revival and evangelization as the "plain
gospel" was proclained and taught. The Camp Meeting was chartered in
1877. When the Wyalusing District was dissolved in 1878, few would have
dreamed that it could sustain itself. But God has worked in wondrous yet
mysterious ways, and we are pleased to welcome you once again in 2011 to
take part in a series of Sunday evening worship experiences in the
chapel followed by refreshments in the
dining hall.
