Annual Retreat

“Join us at Camp Harmony, November 15-19, 2026, for the annual OMA Retreat for a dedicated time for Brethren camping leaders of all levels to gather for professional growth, faith formation, and Outdoor Ministry community development. You will have ample time to relax, grow, converse, and explore the first Church of the Brethren camp.

Our theme this year is “Torchbearers.” A torchbearer is someone who leads or inspires others in working toward a valued goal. In Matthew 5:14-16 Jesus calls us, His followers, “the light of the world” and tells us to “let our light shine before others.” We hope you will join us for adventure and fun with an eternal purpose! #spreadtheHarmony”

Registration will open in September. In the meantime, check out some of the pictures from last year’s gathering!

Jolene Regetta is a licensed professional counselor, former public school teacher, and life-long camp servant. Over the years, Jolene has been heavily involved in Christian camping ministry and understands the challenges that leaders and their families experience when serving in ministry. She also has several years of experience working as an educator and school-based counselor and has a passion to help others and welcomes the opportunity to walk with them on their journey to healing.

As the evening speaker, she will lead us through the Bible, highlighting our theme “Torchbearers,” and help us use Scripture to show us how we can use our light to shine before others. She will also lead a workshop on communication styles and how your wiring affects what you say, how you listen, and how others hear you.”
