CAMPGROUNDS & FACILITIES

On  over  300  acres  of  Land,  there's  so  much  to  see...

From the chapel at the center of camp, to the waterfront, countless hiking trails, the infirmary, basketball courts, soccer field, fire pits, cabins, the cafeteria, and so much more! For more details about our camp programs, visit our Programs page.
The Cafeteria - The "caf" is home to three delicious meals a day, indoor activities, and the occasional spontaneous conga line!
The Rec Hall - The Rec Hall Porch is a favorite session spot, and halftime hangout location. Come prepared with your friendship bracelet making skills!
The Garden - a quiet spot for Alone with God, or a session location for OL or Spiritual Journey with your cabin.
The Outdoor Chapel - On the waterfront, the outdoor chapel offers a beautiful area for services in God's creation.
The Great Room - Located in the Retreat House, this space offers an indoor option for session, campfires, and more!
The Donor Park - A session location, quiet reading spot, or the perfect field for some sponge dodgeball! Check out the waterslide that shows up for Olympics Day!
The Soccer Field - Great for cabin athletics sessions, a pickup game, or a staff versus camper soccer match!
The Lower Basketball Court - Basketball games and social chats, outdoor arts and crafts, the options are endless!
The Gazebos - A quiet OL location, a place for a good conversation with a friend, or a spot to wait out a quick rainstorm. There are several gazebos scattered around camp!
The Upper Basketball Court - home to pickup games, athletics sessions, and outdoor evening activities.
Camp Store - Stop by during halftime to pick out your MBC merch, and your favorite snacks and drinks!
The Office Porch - A favorite central hangout spot during halftime. Don't forget to bring your instruments!
The Fire Pit - one of several at camp, a great place for a loud campfire with s'mores, or a quiet campfire on the last night of camp.
The Volleyball Court - a sandy court overlooking the waterfront. A great place for a game, or spectating while enjoying snacks from camp store!
The Waterfront - full of swimmers, canoers, tubers, and trampoline jumpers!

Cabins &  living  spaces

Picture

​Campers live communally with their peers in a fun and supervised cabin environment. Campers are grouped by gender, age, and grade, with about 10-14 campers per group.  Cabins house two groups in separate sleeping spaces, with a large shared bathroom.  Cabins contain twin size single and bunk beds, and are equipped with dorm-style, anti-microbial mattresses, and a large storage drawer. Bathrooms contain individual toilet stalls, sink and counter areas, and individual shower stalls with changing areas. Cabins are heated in the winter, and cooled by fans in the summer. To learn more about staffing ratios, visit our Health & Safety Page.

food  &  nutrition

Picture
Camp days are busy, the weather is hot, and everyone needs fuel to keep up their energy! Campers and staff are served healthy, homemade, and delicious meals, prepared by a professional chef each day. Chef Nick Speros, the full-time MBC and St. Methodios Chef, and a parent of former campers and current staff members, keeps MBC well fed!

Meals are served three times daily, with opportunities for snacks throughout the day. At breakfast, alongside a hot option of real eggs, pancakes, sausage, oatmeal, or other yummy choices, a cold cereal bar, fresh fruit, and Greek yogurt with plenty of toppings are offered daily. At both lunch and dinner, an extensive salad bar is available in additional to the hot meal being served, alongside plenty of other veggies. Dessert is not typically served at camp (with the exception of birthday cake!), however, other treats, like s'mores and ice cream, may be offered during activities, and campers can purchase snacks, candy, and drinks at the camp store. The camp follows a modified fasting cycle based on the Liturgical calendar of the Church, with no meat served on Wednesdays and Fridays, and other major fasting days of the year.  

ALLERGIES: Camp is a NUT FREE facility. The kitchen can accommodate many allergies and dietary needs. Families are asked to complete their health forms to include all pertinent details as far in advance as possible, so that the kitchen can plan adequately. Families are always welcome to reach out to the camp office with additional questions. For additional information, visit our Health & Safety page.
