‘Its not that God speaks louder in the woods.  Its just that we can listen better.’

As a kid, it was two chairs and a blanket.  Now, my tent is much different and not as easy.  The desired effect is, however, the same. To step away from schedules, TV and a Blackberry, to name a few.  Simply put, it’s the desire to slow down.  To breathe.  To meet God in a brand new way.

Although I am new to Men-O-Lan in Spring of ‘08 the story here remains the same.

For nearly seventy years, Men-O-Lan has been the counter weight in the rush of our culture, to slow us down and see God.  Some for the first time, others for the first time in a long time.

With the changes and challenges of our world, Men-O-Lan remains committed to reaching our world for Christ by providing a retreat much different than the lifestyles we run around in. And we do so with purpose and mission.  Committed to laboring with the Church, Camp integrates with our local community to be an effective tool for evangelism and spiritual growth, initiates spiritual renewal for those who have never sought God and for those seeking to know Him more, and inspires young minds with purpose and tools to be leaders in our world.

Behind the new website & logo, buildings, programs and our beautiful property, lies our commitment to effectively reach our world for Christ.  We’ve watched God graciously work here at Camp for nearly seventy years, and we’re convinced that getting away to Men-O-Lan really does work!

Because of Him,
