Delanco Camp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Delanco Camp is an inter-denominational Holiness camp meeting located at 171 Sooy Place Road in Tabernacle, NJ.

Founded in 1898 as the Fletcher Grove Camp Meeting Association in Delanco, the camp was relocated to Lake Agape in 1964 [1].

A family camp and week-long youth camps for 4th through 12th graders are held each summer in July and August.

The camp sponsors an annual adult retreat off the grounds and several youth retreats held at the camp in the fall and spring. The facility is also rented to church groups during the fall, winter and spring months.

While unaffiliated directly to any denomination, Delanco has a strong tradition of teaching and preaching the Wesleyan doctrines of Holiness and full sanctification [2].

Delanco Camp is operated by the Delanco Camp Meeting Association. A board of directors led by President Laurie Rambo oversees the operations of the camp. The camp's caretaker, Keith Zane, lives at the camp year round with his family.

The camp has ties to Asbury Collegeand Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Ky. and Wesley Biblical Seminary in Jackson, Ms. The camp is also closely affiliated with the mission organizations World Gospel Mission and OMS International.

Delanco is a member of the Christian Camp and Conference Association
