Girl Scouts and area schools, have used the grounds for day camps and other events. The Grounds The Fountain Park Chautauqua is located north of Remington, Indiana, in a predominantly agricultural area of Jasper County. The are heavily wooded with oak, hickory, walnut and wild cherry trees and run along Carpenter Creek. The camp contains small cottages with a few larger buildings for educational, recreational, and residential purposes. The main entrance is on the north side of the circular drive, which circles the camp. Six cottages and a few outbuildings, including two of the early privies, remain outside the loop created by the road. At the center of the camp is a fountain and gazebo, thus the name "Fountain Park".
