The Methodist Church worshiping God in nature

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.

Become a Monthly Donor
Right now, Mechuwana is facing its most serious financial challenge ever, but we are choosing to face this challenge and come out the other side stronger and more secure than we ever have been.

We are asking you for your help in not just saving this ministry financially for the short-term, but to secure it for the generations to come. All money donated stays right at Mechuwana. Please consider joining our monthly giving program today. Mechuwana is counting on us.
