visit
Camp
Meribah. We believe that your experience will be totally
positive and spiritually uplifting. Our camp is located on a
250-acre tract of beautiful wooded land just five minutes from downtown
Centerville and our church building. The facilities include
Ken
McDonald Hall
an
air-conditioned
and
heated,
multi-purpose building (basketball, games,
crafts,
and
cafeteria),
Mackendox playground
(sand volleyball, play equipment, etc.),
the
Outdoor
Gym
(outdoor
basketball
court
with
pavilion),
and
less
than
a
mile
down
White
Pine
Drive
is
Dotson
Ballfield. Our
three
Campers
Cabins and the four-room
Staff
Lodge
are
air-conditioned
and
heated.
All
together
these
make
sleeping available for over 100. Also,
there
are
adequate
Restrooms
and
Showers
on
both
the
girls
and
boys
side
of
camp
with
restrooms
located
in
Ken
McDonald
Hall
and
the
Staff
Lodge
as
well.
There is an air-conditioned and heated
A-frame Chapel
which will seat approximately 100. A
popular
place
for
devotionals
is
the
Chapel-in-the-woods.
A
rock
circle
surrounded
by
woods
perfect
for
a
quiet
and
beautiful
devotional.
Just
before
approaching
the
chapel-in-the-woods
is
a
Fire
Ring.
This
is
the
spot
for
campfires,
roasting
marshmallows,
playing
horse
shoes,
or
having
a
fireside
devotional.
At
the
lower
entrance
there
is
a
Lake
and
a
Rock
Quarry
available
for
your
use
as
well
as
marked
hiking
trails
that
cover
the
acreage
of
Camp
Meribah.
The
Hayes
Pavilion
is
located
next
to
Ken
McDonald
Hall
for
outdoor
use
in
a
sheltered
environment.
The
Amphitheatre
is
located
behind
the
A-Frame
Chapel.
The
Elrod
/
McCord
Shelter
at
the
Springs
is
located
past
the
lake
next
to
the
waterfall. We look forward to having you at Camp Meribah and will be happy to assist you in any possible way. We would be delighted to have your group at our church services, 9:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. on Sundays and 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday.
Named in honor of Edward and Olgia Dotson and the Alumni of Camp Meribah. The original Lodge burned to the ground on Christmas Eve 2001. Under the leadership of Ward Mayberry and Bobby Bates it was constructed to its magnificent beauty we see now. We also could have not completed it without the hours of assistance from inmates from the Turney center and the donations from Paul Gentry at Ole Timer Log Homes in Mt. Juliet, TN.

For
almost
forty
years, God has been using this facility to His glory. Hundreds have
been baptized or returned to the God of their salvation.
A
letter from a congregation
reported
once
that twelve had been baptized and
thirty-one restored while at a Camp Meribah Retreat. One of the oldest and
best- known congregations in Middle Tennessee reported that they had
experienced a "season of revival from the presence of the Lord" with many
responses. They said
"It all began at Camp Meribah."
We thank God for having opened for our church family such a wide, useful
door of opportunity.
