Announcement about Summer 2020 camp programs
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mechuwana's Site Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel all summer 2020 camp programs. Read full statement by Norman Thombs, Mechuwana Camp Director Mechuwana is located on more than 200 acres of forest land and offers a peaceful, natural setting. The camp borders Lower Narrows Pond and Lake Annabessacook. Located on the property are nature trails, boat dock, and a swimming area, along with many cabins, a theatre, a chapel, dining hall, and more. We also have basketball courts and a sports field.
Each season brings a new life to the camp...in the fall we are amazed at the colors around the lake; in winter we ski on the trails and have campfires; in spring we look for the first wildflowers along the road; and in the summer we come alive with over 1000 campers. We hope you come and enjoy God's creation in this place called Mechuwana. Mechuwana's Mission Statement
It is the purpose of Camp Mechuwana to complement the local church ministry by providing a unique Christian setting for persons of all ages for personal growth and experiences which enhance one's relationship to God, neighbors, and the natural world. |
