Busy. Comfortable. Alone.

Most men have a full calendar and a phone full of contacts, and still no one they'd call at 2 a.m. Work, kids and the grind of comfort crowd out the things that matter. You might go to church, or you might not. Either way, God can feel far away and faith can feel flat.

You weren't made to sit in rows and figure it out on your own.
You need challenge. You need purpose. And you need brothers.

We've been there.

It started on a bike trip. Brian Tome and a few buddies were sitting around the campfire when the guys started opening up about things they’d never said out loud. Someone asked, “What if more guys could experience this?” In 2015, 500 spots opened for the first MAN CAMP. They sold out in 30 seconds. Since then, tens of thousands of men have hiked in looking for the same thing.

“I didn't know anyone and walked up that mountain alone.
I came back down with a band of brothers.”

“I heard from God for the first time.”

“Two days after MAN CAMP I had the most honest conversation with my wife that we have ever had.”

REAL STORIES

“MAN CAMP is a strange blend of rest and non-stop action which makes it a uniquely male-suited experience. It helps men rise to the challenge while also giving the pause needed to hear from God.”
“Two days after MAN CAMP I had the most honest conversation with my wife that we have ever had. Things have never been better and I have never been a better father than I have over the last 30 days.”
“This event is nothing short of life-changing.”
“It’s something every man should do to become closer to God and become a better man, father, husband and brother.”
“Time away and time OFF makes room for breakthrough in your life.”
“I spent the weekend with 8 men that I never met before Friday and I can honestly call those men friends now. Scratch that, those men are my brothers now.”
“I heard from God for the first time.”
“My assumptions were completely wrong. Instead of a commercialized, beer drinking weekend by a church I met and heard from genuine people. Hearing their stories about blessings and their own failures was refreshing. It was a reminder to have more faith.”
“I didn’t know anyone and walked up that mountain alone. I came back down with a band of brothers with me in the trenches. We are meeting together again in a month. None of us knew each other before this.”

PUSH BEYOND COMFORT.

This ain’t a kumbaya-singing, sit-and-get, church conference. You'll be pushed and challenged. You can do it.

FIND YOUR TRIBE

A bunch of guys sitting in rows talking about spirituality is too predictable. You need action. You need purpose. And you need a tribe to help you find it.

MAKE YOUR MARK

There are five marks that define what it means to be a man. They are biblical and have nothing to do with gray hair, pushups, or bank accounts. Discover the marks and make them count.

What you bring home

More of God, whether you walked in a believer or a skeptic. Brothers who keep meeting after the weekend ends. A clearer sense of purpose. A better husband, father and friend.

Or you can let another year go by: busy, comfortable, and still doing it alone.

Walk in alone. Walk out a man who leads, with brothers beside him.
