Preparing for a Campfire
Our Campfire will take place in the historic bluff country of Southeastern Minnesota inside of Forestville State Park. The dates of the Campfire are Thursday afternoon, October 8th (arrival) through Monday, October 12th (departure).
The Man Up Campfire offers attendees a more laid back approach (day-hikes are optional), while still providing each man the relevant and powerful Biblical teaching that will lead them into authentic Biblical manhood.
In addition to the optional dialed-back day hikes, each participant will experience meaningful times of worship, a service on Sunday morning, passionate mini-sessions, campfire talks, morning devotions, great food, and even better fellowship. There are only 16 slots available for this trip, so you'll want to act fast! You can secure your slot by filling out the online registration form and submitting your payment. (A link can be found immediately to the right, or toward the bottom of the page.)
The pre-registration rate of $349 for this Campfire is available until July 9th, after which the rate will increase to $399. Registration will end on September 17th, 2020.
Your registration includes 4 nights of lodging in a cabin, all camp meals (including campfire snacks), guided* adventure, and event registration.
Use the form on the Contact page if you have questions or need additional information. All pertinent, trip-related information will be sent to the registrant via email after the registration process has been completed. We're super excited to have you join us for this Campfire!

This section is designed to give you the proper information in order to be prepared to make the most of your Campfire. There are a few things to keep in mind:
While the Forestville Man Up Campfire is designed to meet the needs of men who cannot participate in our more demanding Man Up Adventures due to physical limitations, it is important to note that all registrants must be in good general health and be able to physically care for themselves without any assistance. This includes being able to move from place to place without assistance from another person or walking aids. The cabins at Forestville are NOT handicap accessible.While our goal is not to exclude men from participating in our Campfires, we strongly encourage each man to make an honest self-evaluation prior to making the decision to register. Although we are not licensed medical professionals, we reserve the right to ask you not to participate in physical activity while at the Campfire if we feel that your health is at risk. We also reserve the right to decline your registration or ask you for a letter from your doctor approving your involvement if we feel that your health conditions deem it necessary.
Because every adventure needs a Guide*
Let's not kid ourselves, we know that when it comes to the adventure of manhood, God is the greatest guide. There's no greater adventure than the journey towards the discovery of the man inside. God's formation of great leaders frequently led them outside - into the wilderness. Moses found himself and his God on the backside of nowhere. It was the God-ordained wilderness experience that inaugurated a young David into an influential king. Even Jesus launched his ministry immediately after a time in the wilderness. The bottom line: The wilderness makes you Man Up. As your Campfire Guides*, let us lead you into the wilderness on a similar journey into authentic Biblical manhood.
