LA District Church of the Nazarene · Hosted by SLO Naz
Man Camp 2026
Created for Success. God made you for more — one weekend in the hills to step into it, shoulder to shoulder with your brothers.
October 2–4, 2026 · Granite Ridge Christian Camp · Creston, CA
What God will do
Step away. Stand together. Come back changed.
Man Camp is a weekend in the hills for men who want more — more brotherhood, more honesty, more of God. Worship around the fire, push yourself in the open air, and walk away sharpened for the life waiting at home.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” — Proverbs 27:17
Guest speaker
Pastor Dean Roberts

The weekend
Five meals, miles of trail, and a fire worth gathering around.
From Friday dinner to Sunday breakfast — worship, hiking, the range, hatchet throwing, and the kind of conversations that only happen off the grid.
