This active involvement not only prepares men for a successful return to society but also helps maintain the smooth operation of our beautiful camp.
Our work therapy activities range from caring for animals, tending the garden and orchard, to maintaining camp facilities. Beyond the tasks themselves, this program cultivates teamwork, purpose, and personal growth. Whether you bring specialized skills or simply a willingness to learn, you’ll find a supportive community that values your contribution and encourages you to thrive.
We also recognize that personal connection is essential to healing. That’s why we dedicate afternoons to one-on-one counseling sessions with pastoral counselors and addiction specialists.

Our mission is to empower every man to build a strong foundation for a healthy, fulfilling life in recovery.

Seminars and Classrom
At Our Master’s Camp, education is a vital part of the recovery journey. In our supportive, Christ-centered environment, men engage in dynamic classroom sessions that explore both spiritual truths and practical recovery principles. Led by experienced professionals and seasoned faith leaders, these sessions offer powerful insights, interactive discussions, and inspiring messages from guest pastors.
Our goal is to equip each participant with the knowledge, encouragement, and biblical foundation needed to navigate recovery with confidence. Through this unique blend of education and spiritual growth, we’re building a community where healing happens, hope is restored, and lives are transformed.
Peer Support Groups
We believe that recovery thrives in the strength of community. That’s why we’ve built a supportive, redemptive environment where men walk alongside one another on the journey to healing. Through peer support groups, participants find a safe space to connect, share openly, and draw encouragement from others who truly understand the struggles of addiction.
These meaningful connections foster a sense of belonging, accountability, and hope, reminding each man that he is not alone. In this brotherhood of shared experience, we work together to overcome challenges, celebrate growth, and pursue lasting transformation through faith and fellowship.
Life Skills Training
We’re committed to helping men not only break free from addiction but also build strong, meaningful lives through practical life skills training. Our faith-based approach focuses on key areas like personal finance, budgeting, and healthy relationships, giving participants the tools they need for long-term success. In a supportive, Christ-centered environment, men are encouraged to engage in honest conversations about real-life challenges—from navigating social situations to developing a healthy self-image rooted in God’s unconditional love, not worldly performance.
Our mission is to empower each man to discover his God-given worth and confidently step into a future filled with purpose, stability, and hope.
Exercise Training
Physical wellness is an essential part of the recovery journey. That’s why we provide a vibrant, active environment where participants can rebuild their strength and vitality. Our camp features a full range of workout equipment, free weights, and a variety of sports and recreational activities—including volleyball, basketball, canoeing, and scenic trail walks.
Whether you’re looking to boost your fitness or simply enjoy the outdoors, our goal is to make physical activity a source of joy, inspiration, and healing. Join us at Our Master’s Camp and take an important step toward restoring your body, mind, and spirit.
Work-Based Therapy
Accountability is essential for lasting recovery. That’s why our work therapy program brings men together to build teamwork, responsibility, and practical skills—all while helping care for our beautiful 100-acre property.
This hands-on approach fosters a strong sense of community and personal ownership, empowering each participant to take charge of their journey toward healing. Additionally, the program helps keep our costs affordable, allowing us to provide accessible, high-quality care to more men in need. Join us in embracing recovery through teamwork, growth, and shared purpose—because healing is stronger when we work together.
Church Participation
Community and faith are essential to lasting transformation. Every Sunday and Wednesday, our participants come together to attend local church services, where men can worship freely in a warm and welcoming environment.
These gatherings offer more than spiritual nourishment—they create opportunities to build meaningful connections within a caring body of believers. Supported by a church community dedicated to embracing and uplifting our participants, we work to ensure every individual feels valued, accepted, and encouraged on their path to recovery.
