Improvements

Recent Tabernacle Renovation:

The Main Tabernacle was completely re-modeled in 2018, and has made attending the Hartselle Camp Meeting much easier and more comfortable! The upgrades of the historic Tabernacle will be a blessing for decades to come. Here are a few of the things that have been done -

Installation of all new, more comfortable benches
New, level foundation for the Tabernacle base (packed clay, similar to concrete)
Complete re-wiring of the entire building
New ceiling fans
New lighting
New sound system
Removal of large tree and extensive root system on the south side of the structure
New French drainage system around the perimeter
Installation of new cedar posts (around the outside edge only)

Our Camp Is Growing!

In recent years, the Hartselle Camp Meeting has undergone a major "facelift". In 2016, the newest building on campus was completed. The Caretaker's Cottage is now up and running, enabling our full-time Camp Caretaker and his family to reside on the grounds! The Puckett Youth Dormitory was completed in time for Camp Meeting in 2008 - which can house up to 100 people, with a state-of-the-art Meeting Room for up to 150 people. In addition, several buildings on campus have been re-roofed, including the Main Tabernacle , the Dining Hall, and the Kid's World building. In the future, developments will include Recreational areas, Nature Trails, restoration and remodeling all existing cabins, and much more!

NOTE: The Girl's side is a mirror-image of the Boy's side, with private showers, toilets, and a wall of sinks. The Dorm can sleep up to 100 at a time, and includes a modern Meeting Room that seats 150, a Canteen, and a Game Area. The entire building is heated and air conditioned, and available for churches & groups to rent!

The old Girl's Dormitory is the new home for Kid's World, offering meeting space for Children to accommodate Arts & Crafts, Music, Bible Stories, and Games! The renovation process was completed in 2010, and the facility is a blessing to all who use it!

In addition, improvements to the Main Tabernacle (see above) include a new sound system, electrical wiring, seating, fans, and much more! If you are interested in restoring a Cabin (air conditioning, bathrooms/plumbing, wiring, and full insulation), then contact Hartselle Camp Meeting President Rob Cain at Rob4NoComp@aol.com.
