About

​

Washington Advent Christian Campground was founded in 1886 by Reverend George Weeks. The campground is rooted in the Advent Christian denomination which proclaims boldly the eminent return of Christ. Churches and families have gathered on the grounds for a week each year to worship, fellowship, and encourage each in the faith. Two weeks of youth camp are offered during the summer as well.

​

Located in Knox county, the campground sees attendees from many towns throughout New England.

 

Much has changed since its founding so many years ago. Many cottages have been built, rebuilt, and renovated. The tabernacle has been built and rebuilt after heavy snow caused the roof to collapse years ago. A new dining hall was built in 2017 after a devastating fire in the fall of 2016. But what hasn't changed is the unwavering truth of Christ's soon return, the need to share Christ's love with a hurting world, and the importance of gathering together in Christian community. Lives are changed, truth is preached, and God is honored on these grounds.

Mission

Convinced of the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ, Washington Advent Christian Church exists to Encourage, Equip and Empower those who come here to be obedient to His Great Commandment and Great Commission.
