Smith Island Awaits 125th Summer Camp Meeting

EWELL, Md. (AP) -- Smith Island is preparing for its 125th summer camp meeting.

The church meeting on the lower Eastern Shore island draws people every summer to services in an aging white, wooden tabernacle. They sit on pine pews and stand on wood shavings while listening to sermons and singing hymns. Residents, former residents and friends gather this year beginning July 31 for a week of
old-time camp meetings.
