Reach through Service. Restore in Christ!
Camp Meeting 2026 in Alaska reflects the vastness and diversity of our state, offering multiple opportunities each year for believers to gather in worship, fellowship, and spiritual renewal. Guided by the theme “Reach & Restore — Reach through Service. Restore in Christ.”, camp meeting calls us to serve others with compassion while experiencing personal renewal and restoration through a deeper relationship with Jesus.
The year begins with Arctic Camp Meeting Weekends held in bush Alaska communities, including Bethel, Dillingham, Nome, and Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow). As summer arrives, regional camp meetings take place across the state, serving the Interior, Southeast, Southcentral, and St. Lawrence Island regions. Each gathering is designed to strengthen faith, build community, and encourage service in local and regional contexts.

Interior Camp Meeting
June 19-20, 2026
Harding Lake Recreation Area
Interior Camp Meeting invites families and friends from across Alaska’s Interior to gather for a weekend of worship, fellowship, and renewal at the beautiful Harding Lake State Recreation Area, nestled among spruce and birch forest about 45 miles south of Fairbanks. The camp meeting will feature guest speaker Tim Madding of Andrews University, whose messages will anchor the weekend under the main tent while attendees enjoy the peaceful lake setting, group fellowship, and outdoor recreation that Harding Lake is known for. With spacious campground facilities, picnic areas, and easy lake access, the location provides an ideal backdrop for community and reflection. All attendees are responsible for making their own camping or lodging reservations directly through Harding Lake State Recreation Area, as accommodations are not reserved as a group for the event.

Southeast Camp Meeting
AUGUST 7-9
Vank Island
Southeast Alaska Camp Meeting has been serving the region for many years through the dedicated support of local churches across Southeast Alaska. This camp meeting is uniquely located on Vank Island, a peaceful island setting separate from the nearby towns of Wrangell and Petersburg. Travel to camp meeting requires a boat journey after arriving in Wrangell, Petersburg, or Prince of Wales Island communities such as Coffman Cove or Whale Pass.
Vank Island offers a simple, retreat‑style experience with limited modern conveniences. Electricity is available during the day while generators are running, so attendees are encouraged to plan accordingly. The campground includes cabins, a lodge, a bathhouse, and a gym, providing essential facilities in a beautiful, natural setting.
Southeast Alaska Camp Meeting is organized by the Wrangell Adventist Church, which provides the most up‑to‑date information regarding schedules, travel details, and accommodations. For the latest updates, please visit www.wrangellsda.org.
