| The CPT camp has been around for 60 years! |
The Calvary Pentecostal Tabernacle camp has been around for sixty years!
Regular services are held throughout the year on the weekends at the CPT Virginia campground.
There are two camps, a winter one is held in February and a summer one held between the end of June to the beginning of September. During the summer, the services are held in the Tabernacle - a huge outdoor meeting place.

| Daily services and teachings are held daily at the Tabernacle - a huge outdoor gathering place |
We are here to attend the summer camp for a week and to be recharged spiritually.
The theme this summer is Worship His Majesty.
 |
| The CPT camp welcomes visitors, Christians, pastors and church lay people from around the world |
It is open to anyone who wishes to take part; people from around the world do come to this camp. Many come as far as India, and Africa to attend the services.

| Joshua Mills - a charismatic speaker from Canada |
There are daily services, seven days a week during the summer, one in the morning and another one in the evening. Speakers have been scheduled for each day.
The first night we were here, we attended the 7:30 p.m. service with Joshua Mills, a well known pastor from Canada.
He would be the speaker for the duration of our stay at the camp.
Patti Chappell, wife of a late pastor, is my favourite speaker during the teaching hour sessions right after breakfast each day.
She has many years of experience in ministry work and serving diverse people and nations. It is a joy listening to her about God's faithfulness and miracles in her ministry work!
The schedule of the campground is as follows:
7:00am Breakfast
8:00am Prayer
9:30am Teaching
11:00am Morning Service
Children's Ministry 5-11 & 12-18

1:30pm Lunch
6:30pm Pre-Service Worship
7:30pm Evening Service
Snack Bar Opens after evening Service
Before each service starts there usually a singing and worship session lasting for about an hour.
During the morning service when the adults are worshiping in the tabernacle, kids and teenagers have their own program at another venue
( We did not know about this camp until now. How I wish our sons were able to take part in camp experience like this when they were young! It is an awesome experience!

Jane Louder is the current director of the CPT camp.
Apparently, everyone working there with whom we have spoken is a volunteer. This means they receive no compensation for their work and is living by faith depending on God for their needs!
CPT camp charges no admission to the camp and their operating cost solely depends on people's donations!
The camp has been operating like this for the past sixty years!
Amazing and what a miracle!

| People give out their testimonies |
I found the atmosphere at the Pentecostal campground very relaxing, not uptight at all.
Very often, participants are willing to share their testimonies and give their witness as how God transform their lives.
It is absolutely inspirational to hear God's miracles and how He loves all of us and give His most treasured son, Jesus, to die for our sins.

| I put my prayers in the Prayer Request Box |
It has been a week of singing, praising and praying.
A refreshing change from worrying about our daily needs and chores.
We are extremely grateful that our friends from church not only introduced us to this wonderful camp but brought us here to experience it ourselves.
After having a miracle connection , I put my prayer requests in the prayer box and believing firmly that God will perform His miracles and grant me the requests! Amen!
