Finding God in every moment

Community
Who are the people you go to for encouragement or just a good conversation? This retreat is a chance for young adults from different backgrounds to have fun and grow together in community at Camp.

Direction
Finding direction in life can be a challenge. Come hear practical Bible teaching on what it looks like to follow Jesus in your daily life and process your thoughts with friends.

Fall Fun
Take out a canoe in the early morning mist. Come try your hand at axe-throwing, archery tag or frisbee golf. Bring your camera and capture some gorgeous fall colours. Hike our 300 acres of trails or head to the docks for fishing. Play your favourite board game. There is so much to enjoy in Muskoka in Fall! (See below for more options.)

Meet the Chapel Speaker
Matt McLean

Matt McLean has served in several ministry leadership roles over the years and is a regular guest teacher in various Torchbearer Bible schools. Currently, Matt is the senior pastor of the Uptown Church in Orangeville Ont. where he also runs the local soup kitchen. Matt loves meeting people where they are at to share the good news of Jesus Christ and the Gospel He brings! He and his wife, Jess, have five children, three of whom are now adults, one dog, and a goat named Gary! Matt loves writing music and stories, playing sports and skateboarding.

This year Matt will teach through one of his favourite old testament books – Habbakuk! The prophet Habbakuk looks at the broken world of his day and wonders why God isn’t doing more to fix it. And yet he moves from a place of anxiety and skepticism to a place of worship, freedom and praise. Join us to hear Matt unpack this powerful 3 chapter book and learn what it means to live by faith in the faithfulness of God.
