Fall Women's Retreats

Camp Lebanon Women's Retreats are purposefully designed to encourage Christian women and church groups to increased faithfulness in their walk with Jesus Christ and in ministry to a world thirsty for Living Water.  Camp Lebanon's women's retreats provide opportunities for small group fellowship, relaxed conversation, and a refreshed intimacy with God.  Guests will enjoy solid biblical teaching, worship, crafts, workshops about life, and great food.  Traditional retreat favorites also include the Silent Auction, Candlelight Dinner Banquet, campfire, and relaxed free time.  Camp's quiet setting on beautiful Cedar Lake will provide a wonderful escape from life's demands.

SPECIAL GUESTS

Jeremiah & Vanessa Gamble

Long-time favorites, the Gambles have selected Camp Lebanon to premier a fun new show on "living happily ever after" that will encourage all relationships in the home.  Jeremiah & Vanessa comprise Theater for the Thirsty, a two-person theatre company specializing in entertaining, music-infused, funny, soul-stirring, and imaginative theatre.  

WORSHIP LEADER

Pamela Nelson

Finding women who desire to celebrate life, journey together, and support each other in Christ are some of the passions of Pam's life!  Through her experience as a Bible Study leader, Music Ministries Director, inspirational speaker, and more recently in her role as a Certified Life Purpose Coach, God has challenged Pam to lead from a place of service while continuing to be teachable and transparent.
