In Every Season

At T Bar M, our number one rule is Don’t Waste Fun, and that spirit carries over into our retreat season just as much as our summer camps! You might wonder what happens here when we’re not in summer camp mode—our retreat team shifts gears to serve groups of all kinds, creating spaces where lives are enriched and hearts are renewed.

From church groups and schools to corporate teams and families, we’re privileged to welcome so many through our gates, each bringing their unique story and purpose. Groups experience joy and connection through activities like high ropes, team building, even a little bit of blacklight dodgeball, or simply relaxing on a wooden swing.

We’re also deeply blessed by the work of our Tim Team—a dedicated discipleship program where young adults serve alongside us, learning to lead and love like Christ while serving others. Together, we strive to create an environment where God’s love is evident and each group leaves feeling cared for, inspired, and refreshed.

Even when summer camp is not happening, we get the privilege to witness the Gospel taking root in hearts all over our property. Hear it from Kaiti Hogan, one of our Retreat Coordinators:

"Last week I was walking around property while a 7th-grade school group was on their retreat here. The school had split the students up into smaller groups, and they were meeting all over property doing a devotional with one of their teachers. There were groups meeting on the field, on the basketball court, and even up in the tree weave. It reminded me a lot of the summer when property is full of campers and coaches going through Trail Guide. I loved getting to see these students learning more about God while on this property and knowing that this happens all year long."

As our new Senior Director of Camps reflected on this reality, he reminds us of the truth that we see repeated in Scripture: It is good to be alive, abundantly alive. Read his reflections here.
