DEAR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF SOUTH SEAVILLE CAMP MEETING ASSOCIATION,When the Association originally purchased this woodland site, it was shaded by white oak trees, which were little more than 30 years old. Now, as we approach the Camp Meeting’s 150th anniversary celebration, it is evident that many of these giant beauties (along with cedars, maples, pines, and dogwoods) are in danger due to age, disease, building, and storm damage. As we consider our goal to enable this Camp to thrive well into this new millennium, the replacement of trees on this gently wooded site is urgently important. Many cottagers have already exercised considerable foresight by replanting and nurturing trees and bushes near their homes and around the Camp. |
 |
In addition, an effort is underway to plant younger, healthy trees of the varieties that have long been familiar to the area. Lately, over 20 white oak saplings were donated for this purpose. You may notice a number of tiny trees planted in common areas of the Camp. Please be aware and careful of this new growth.
If you would like to have a part in providing shade and beauty for future generations, there are several ways to help:
• |
Donate the cost for a tree to be planted in memory or honor of a loved one. |
• |
Cash donations of any amount will help to purchase needed materials such as mulch, stakes, watering devices, and tree food. |
• |
Be part of a “Green Team” responsible for planting, watering, and care of newly planted trees and bushes. |
Thank you for considering the importance of healthy trees for the benefit of people and animals that find peace and rest in this beloved place. Please use the attached form for your response. May we be good stewards of God’s resources.
Sincerely in Christ
Margie and Dave Peiffer

Founded in 1863 and to this day, deeply rooted in the Methodist tradition, our camp meeting is situated in the grove amid the inspiring backdrop of nature. Our cottages are surrounded by common buildings forming a secluded community on the South Jersey Coast. Spiritual renewal and cultural and recreational programs for persons of all ages in a Christian setting make camp meeting special to all of us. A variety of activities are planned annually to appeal to all age groups bringing families together in a unique way.
The Ladies Auxiliary opened “The Little Acorn Shoppe” last year at 2 Watchcoat Ave., directly behind the Tabernacle. The Little Acorn Shoppe has available for purchase many items handcrafted by Women’s Auxiliary members along with other interesting gifts. The Shoppe is open before and after evening services and other hours as posted.
PRAYER VIGIL
On Saturday night, July 14th, the evening before Camp Meeting begins, there will be a Prayer Vigil in the Tabernacle from 6:00PM until 10:00PM. This is a time to pray and meditate. It is a time to receive the healing, guiding presence of God and to share the needs and hopes for this Camp Meeting. This will be in the Tabernacle. Let us pray for the success of the Camp Meeting, and for the lives that are touched by it.
