“Building a Strong Future On the Foundations of the Past”

November 17-21, 2024

$200 for OMA members/ $225 for non-members.  Scholarships available

Strengthen your foundation by joining this group of camp professionals for a time of networking, education, recreation, and renewal.  Our goal is that you walk away with new resources, connections, and a renewed mind and spirit.

Our keynote speaker will be Madalyn Metzger.  Workshops topics include fundraising from a CFRE (Certified Fundraising Executive), succession documentation, church/camp partnerships and continuing the conversation from Annual Conference, maintenance tour, and more.  Our field trip will be an Anabaptist adventure with a tour at Menno Hof, a threshers dinner at an Amish home, and time for exploring Shipshewana. 

If traveling by air, Fort Wayne International (FWA) and South Bend International (SBN) are airports we will provide transportation to and from as needed. Private lodging rooms and linens available upon request.
