🌲Picture yourself gathered around the campfire beneath the open sky, a warm mug in hand, listening to Paul Young share stories of God's kindness, belonging, and healing. These evening "Papa Talks" are the kind of conversations that stay with you long after camp ends.

🥾Picture yourself on a trail walk or gathered with new friends after dinner, talking about life, faith, healing, and what it means to become fully yourself. Justin brings honesty, depth, and the kind of perspective that helps people reconnect with hope, purpose, and possibility.

⛺Imagine starting your morning on the porch with coffee, laughter, and a conversation that somehow feels like it was meant just for you. Melanie has a gift for helping people feel seen, known, and welcomed exactly as they are while creating spaces where meaningful friendships naturally grow.


HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU'VE BEEN IN A ROOM WHERE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING?

CAMP: I Belong Here isn’t a conference.

It's not a mastermind. It's not a personal growth intensive.
It's not three days of note-taking and trying to become a better version of yourself.

It's a presence-filled camp experience for adults who are tired of performing and ready to experience genuine connection.

COME AS YOU ARE. LEAVE AS FRIENDS


ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE:

For three days, we'll gather beneath the sky, pull up camp chairs, share meals, laugh hard, play games, stay up too late around the fire, and have the kinds of conversations that remind you what it feels like to be fully human.

No conference stage.

No VIP section.

No pretending.

Just real people making room for each other.

Hosted by Melanie Huggard and serving as your camp counselor along with Paul Young. This is a space for people carrying certainty, doubt, joy, grief, curiosity, faith, questions, or simply a desire to belong.

We won't teach you how to belong. We'll make space for you to experience it.

COME AS YOU ARE.
LEAVE WITH FRIENDS.


WHAT TO EXPECT:

MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS

The kind that stay with you long after camp is over.

CAMPFIRES & LATE-NIGHT STORIES

Because some of the best moments happen after the schedule ends.

PLAYFUL COMPETITION

Team challenges, laughter, and remembering what it's like to play.

GREAT FOOD & SHARED TABLES

Meals that nourish more than your stomach.

PRESENCE, NOT PERFORMANCE

No pressure to be more spiritual, more healed, more impressive, or more anything.

CAMP COUNSELOR TALKS

Pull up a camping chair and join Melanie Huggard and Paul Young for honest conversations about faith, relationships, belonging, and being human.

NEW FRIENDS

Not networking.
Not small talk.
Actual connection.

Get Real, Laugh Hard, Make New Friends.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

One of the gifts of this property is that it's easier to unplug from the noise and be present with yourself and others.

• CAMP: I Belong Here takes place at Coram Ranch, a private ranch nestled along the Sacramento River near Shasta Dam.

• This is a rustic, comfortable retreat experience, not a luxury resort.

• Cell service and Wi-Fi are limited throughout parts of the property. You'll still be able to check in with home, but don't plan on streaming movies or spending the weekend online.

• All meals, snacks, and beverages are included with your registration.

• You'll have access to the swimming pool, game room, campfire area, basketball court, horseshoe pit, bocce ball court, and mountain bikes.

• There are opportunities for walking, exploring, and enjoying the outdoors throughout the weekend.

• The nearest grocery store and restaurants are approximately 7 miles away, so we recommend bringing any personal items, medications, or specialty snacks you may want during your stay.

• Lodging is simple, comfortable, and designed to support connection, conversation, and community.
