Men’s Retreat 2026 was a huge success here at Lakewood Park Bible Camp. Our theme was Man Up as we were challenged to step into the calling the God has on our lives. Over 300 men joined together for three days of discipleship, teaching, worship, prayer, good food, games, and fellowship. Randy McPherson was our main speaker telling us about the amazing story of the founding of Matthew’s Bows and God’s plan for each of us. We had another great round of Men’s University breakout sessions from ten different speakers. And that’s not to mention the Man Cave, the Man Challenges, or the mechanical bull riding competition. We are already looking forward to Men’s Retreat 2027!
