MBC Family Winter Camp

Having over 20 years of excellent youth camps and programs, His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios set his eyes on a new goal and vision, one that would now bring families together in an opportunity to share in the camping experience. Having completed the Retreat House in the fall of 2009, the very first family ministry was launched in February of 2010. The MBC Family Winter Camp quickly became a wildly popular camping program, and was followed up that year by the MBC Summer Family Camp. Annually, families are invited for a weekend long opportunity to connect with each other and God in the beautiful accomodations of our Retreat House at our campsite in the foothills of the White Mountains.

What Do We Do?

Family winter camp is the opportunity for families to step away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives and connect with each other as well as other families and friends from across our New England Metropolis. Our weekend together will be a combination of family, adult and youth activities, with a variety of options so that everybody can find something they want to do. We bring in speakers to hold discussions with the adults ranging on a variety of topics from individual spirituality, to parenting and relationships. Our incredibly dedicated and talented camp staff take our younger campers and run our best camp activities with them such as Sounding Board, Arts & Crafts, Fun & Games and Orthodox Life. After having some free time in the afternoon, we kick our night off by gathering for vespers and participating in a family evening activity together. Our weekend culminates in the celebration of Divint Liturgy together on Sunday morning as one community.

Where Do We Stay?

Camp is no longer a rustic cabin in the woods with roll out camping mattresses. Our program participants stay in the Retreat House which features 35 individual guest rooms that are complete with two double beds and a private bath. Additionally, the Retreat House is home to the maginificant Great Room with its Cathedral style ceilings which make it a wonderfully cozy and beutiful place for families to hang out with each other and get to know other families as well. For those more active campers the Retreat House also has a game room and play room to add to the entertainment!

Love Me Maybe - Mamalakis Family

This song is the answer to the questions "What does forgiveness mean to you?". Families wrote poems to answer this questions as an activity to prepare for the Sunday of the Prodigal Son.
