It is pretty difficult to adequately describe Men’s Retreat. It truly is more of a state of being and an experience than it is a place or event. The annual Men’s Retreat at Camp Myrtlewood is not a traditional Christian Retreat. It is not a traditional anything. Men’s Retreat began with a small group of men in the Pacific Northwest District of the Church of the Brethren who wanted to get together and share. It has evolved, or is that devolved, into an annual event that inspires in men a loyalty and devotion that few other things will.
