About
Fairmount Camp Event & Retreat Center offers Christ-focused camping experiences to people of all ages, including Junior Bible Camp for children and Junior High and Senior High Camps for teens. The program also includes a 7 day Family Camp with age appropriate classes and activities for everyone, as well as an annual Wesleyan Married Couple’s Retreat. Week long summer camps are part of the regular offerings, and some facilities are available year-round.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Week long summer camps and a 7 day family camp
Fairmount Camp Event & Retreat Center has been impacting families for over 126 years and has been “being the hands and feet of Jesus since 1895.” It is a Christian campground and a ministry of the Crossroads District of the Wesleyan Church, and it is a member of the Marion-Grant Chamber of Commerce. The mission of Fairmount Camp Event & Retreat Center is to be a place to escape the pressures and distractions of daily life by cultivating an environment that will strengthen the family and all of those around with life-changing experiences. The historic Bethel Tabernacle on the grounds has a seating capacity of approximately 1500 and was featured in the Gaither Gospel Series’ Grammy nominated “Down by the Tabernacle” video in 1999. Facilities and features include large shade trees, quaint cabins, comfortable campsites, simple dormitories, multi-use buildings on a 20 acre retreat, the Bethel Tabernacle, new restrooms with laundry facilities, an air-conditioned cafeteria, remodeled guest apartments, new signage, a pavilion with a stone fireplace, and a prayer tower. The camp offers some year-round facilities and is seeking to become a year round facility with a multi-purpose building with lodging and a gymnasium to offer opportunities to sports ministries, youth groups, and churches. One parent described Fairmount Camp as “a place of Christian Heritage and Restoration,” and another noted that “the Holy Spirit's presence is strong and very present there” and that they love the community that camp brings to their family.
