Camps and Retreat Centers
United Methodist camps and retreats are not escapes from life; they are quite the opposite. These experiences are geared to enhance a person's ability to recognize the goodness and sacredness of life in every moment. Campers, children, youth and adults, learn to slow down, to notice, and to become more attuned with what is happening around them and within them. It is so easy to be distracted and to sacrifice the beauty and possibilities of the present by living in the past or worrying about the future. Often, getting away from routine provides a major recharge. It offers the gifts of disconnecting, assessing, and refocusing, so people can revision and return to live more thankfully and with greater purpose. Christian camps and retreats are meant to be more than recreation. They are intended to be experiences of re-creation. Camp and retreat settings are especially powerful places for journeys of the heart.
