Use of Property
Fellowship Point is available for use April 1 through November 15 each year.
Fellowship Point is provided for the use of churches in our Presbytery. The Presbytery of Charlotte employs a caretaker who maintains the property and buys supplies.
Reservations are taken through the Presbytery office.
Please understand: there are times when the facility is in high demand. Your group may be asked to share the facility with another group. Reservations are taken on a first received, first served basis, but Presbytery churches have priority over other groups.
Reservations are for the shelter or the campsites. When a group reserves campsites for 25 or fewer persons, there may also be a day use group at the shelter.
All camping must be in the designated camping area. Campers are to use the fire ring at the camping area; Day-use groups use the fire ring at the shelter area. Groups share the bathrooms, ice machine, worship area, ball field, and the lakefront. If you are planning softball or volleyball, please cooredinate times with the other group. Please be respectful when planning activities and keep common areas clean and free from clutter.
Check-in time is 10:00am. All groups must check out prior to 10:00am on the scheduled departure day or an additional day will be charged.
Weekend use of the full facility will be limited to twice per summer season, per group.
