Attendees camp in cabins, motor homes, trailers, tents, or commute from their homes. When camp meeting is in session, attendance swells to nearly 5,000, making it the largest “town” in the county.
Camp meeting is held on the grounds of Camp Wakonda near Westfield, Wisconsin, and is open to the general public. Registration is only required for on-site accommodations. Camp meeting 2020 will be held June 12-20. In 2021 It will be held June 18-26.

She was born and raised in a Congo refugee camp in Rwanda, and brought to the United States under the care of the Fox Valley SDA Church five years ago after the war. Nyiramahirwe says, “There are many reasons as to why I want to be baptized. One, I want to be reborn in the name of Jesus Christ, and second, I want to grow old in the love of Jesus, to reflect His kindness and experience His peace in my life.” Photo by Bessie Kmiecik.
