CPT Campground, North of Richmond, Virginia


The bell rings to wake up campers for breakfast

On the second day of our stay at the CPT camp in Virginia, we got up bright and early.

The wake up bell was rung at 6:45a.m. and if we wanted breakfast, we'd better be up!

The breakfast was served in the spacious dining hall.






Breakfast and lunch are served at the dining hall
As expected, the lineup was not bad at all at this early hour. We  entered the spacious dining hall and were served a full hardy hot breakfast with sausages, eggs, southern grit, cereal, fruits, juice, tea or coffee.

A much better breakfast than we had expected!




Meals are prepared and served by volunteers here


                                          


However, the doors to the dining hall were locked right at 7:45a.m.

 For those who came later than the posted breakfast time, they learned to be here earlier the next day.



The grounds are well kept at the camp









 After breakfast, we had time to stroll around the campground before prayer time at 8a.m.










Ample places to sit and relax



It is a beautiful 14 acre property dedicated to the service of the Lord with ample places to sit and relax.







People from around the world come to the CPT camp



People from around the world come to this place to worship, praise and learn about God. 

We've met very friendly people; many of whom are pastors or church laypeople.

There are lots of opportunities to fellowship and learn about ministries from other parts of the world. 

A beautiful campground!

A quiet garden for bible reading or reflections
It is a quiet and peaceful place with a number of buildings providing accommodations to campers.


There are quiet places where people can read their bibles, pray or reflect.







A playground for young kids and basketballs for the teens here

People check in at the Registration office upon arrival

There is a playground for kids and a basketball hoop set up for teens.

There is no cooking facility for visitors staying at this camp.

However, nutritious meals are provided for breakfast and lunch each day so that we don't have to worry about cooking or finding a place to eat.




People heading to the Tabernacle for a service




Rather than spending time on our daily mundane chores of shopping, cooking meals and cleaning, we head to the Tabernacle after breakfast each morning.

For the next five days straight,  we will  focus on prayers, singing, God's teaching and worship.

I love this environment!

Ready to sing, praise and worship!

We are blessed to be here to enjoy God's word and teaching for a few days!
