Camp Welfare, Religious campground in Fairfield County, United States.
The Camp Welfare complex includes approximately 100 single-story wooden cabins arranged in a double U shape around a central gathering area.
The African Methodist Episcopal Church established Camp Welfare after the Civil War, with local trustees acquiring the property from L.G.H. McMaster in 1878.
The annual religious meetings occur during the last week of August, between cotton cultivation and harvest, following agricultural schedules of the region.
The wooden structures, called tents, serve as basic sleeping quarters for families attending religious gatherings, with cooking activities taking place outdoors.
Many families maintain ownership of their specific tent structures across multiple generations, preserving their connection to the religious community.
