<p style="padding-left: 30px;">
<p><em>&#8216;Its not that God speaks louder in the woods.  Its just that we can listen better.&#8217;</em></p>
<p><span>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&#8217;s the desire to slow down.  To breathe.  To meet God in a brand new way.</span></p>
<p><span>Although I am new to Men-O-Lan in Spring of &#8217;08 the story here remains the same.</span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><span>Behind the new website &amp; logo, buildings, programs and our beautiful property, lies our commitment to effectively reach our world for Christ.  We&#8217;ve watched God graciously work here at Camp for nearly seventy years, and we&#8217;re convinced that getting away to Men-O-Lan really does work! </span></p>
<p><span>Because of Him,</span></p>

<p>Our philosophy is to create an atmosphere that is fun, supportive, and challenging. We want to allow a person to experience perceived risks with group support and remain within a controlled, safe environment. Our highly trained staff will work with you to design a program that fits the needs of your group.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">climbing tower</span></h3>
<p>Challenge yourself. Climb to the top of a 30-foot tower.  Hand and foot holds are carefully placed on three different routes to provide varying levels of difficulty. You will be well secured by professional belay equipment. After reaching the top your group may choose to rappel down the other side of the 30-foot tower!</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">high elements</span></h3>
<p>The high ropes focus more on personal growth. Secured in a professional harness, you will climb approximately 30 feet up into the trees and go through a serious of elements. Test your personal limits and achieve a new goal! Develop greater confidence in yourself and others.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">zip line</span></h3>
<p>Experience an exhilarating ride on our 200-ft Zip Line from 45-ft in the air. This event can stand alone or be incorporated with the High Elements</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">challenge course</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Your group may want to improve their communication and problem solving skills on the variety of activities available with our Adventure Course.  A progression of activities will be selected by an experienced leader to allow your group to examine their strengths and weaknesses and through this examination become stronger as a group.</span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #993300;">customized programs</span></strong></h3>
<p>Just tell us a little about your group and we will create a custom Challenge Course program to suite your needs.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">HELLO!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We are excited to have your child here !</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<h3>Dear Parents,</h3>
<p>A week of summer camp is such a valuable experience for everyone &#8211; children, youth, and families!  At Men-O-Lan, we view each week as a big deposit into the account of personal development, renewal, and refreshment. Thank you for considering Men-O-Lan as a part of your family&#8217;s summer! We intend to provide you with the greatest return on the investment you make in your child&#8217;s life this summer.</p>
<h3>Quality</h3>
<p>We intend to make summer camp a wonderful memory for campers. That means we pay close attention to the quality and tone of each day and each week:</p>
<ul>
<li>Safety for your child is our utmost concern ;at every level – physical, emotional, spiritual, mental.</li>
<li>Staff who love being with kids, who care about the well-being of your precious treasures, who are well trained and can be counted upon to be the kind of role models parents appreciate.</li>
<li>Activities that provide campers with great new experiences, great leaders, and great equipment.</li>
<li>Facilities and food that continually get top marks from campers and parents.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Our Mission  </h3>
<p align="justify">&#8220;Provide participants with a safe, quality experience which awakens new interests, promotes new skills, creates discovery and awareness, and forges new freindships.&#8221;  </p>
<p align="justify">Great effort goes into the hiring and training of camp counselors who are capable, attentive, fun, and creative. </p>
<p align="justify"><span style="color: #ff9900;">***</span>ALL Camp staff is certified in First Aid and CPR, and all have completed extensive background checks and completed intense screening and interview process.  <span style="color: #ff9900;">***</span></p>
<h3>Purpose</h3>
<p>We intend that after a week of camp your child will have more than just new stories to tell or new friendships to continue or a new interest to pursue. We purpose to give campers an opportunity to consider the spiritual component of their life in light of the life of Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible. We don&#8217;t force this. We share it, through nature, engaging music, considerate teaching, and daily living. We intend to challenge this young generation to choose the values of peace, joy, self-giving love, respect, and truth.</p>
<h3>Wonderful Memories</h3>
<p>A week at Men-O-Lan  is full of discovery and adventure &#8211; breathing in fresh air; learning new skills; seeing stars at their brightest; listening to the silence; discovering self confidence;  making life long friends; feeling the warmth of a place many call their second home; being challenged by truths to build a life upon. We are excited  to be a part of your summer!</p>
