Men & Sons Retreat
May 2-4, 2025
Don’t miss this action-packed weekend filled with great opportunities to connect with God, as well as other men and sons! Enjoy activities like fishing, shooting range, archery tag, zipline, pickleball, late-night cornhole tourney, axe-throwing, water rockets, and there is always something new! Sugar Pine’s Saturday afternoon of All-You-Can-Eat Smoked Meats has become a favorite, so bring some friends hungry for great food and an amazing weekend, and we’ll see you on the mountain!
Peter Anderson – Speaker
Peter Anderson is back again as our speaker for 2025! Peter serves as the senior pastor at First Baptist Church of Hanford, and he has a deep love for camp ministry. Peter is a Central Valley kid at heart — growing up in Atwater and graduating from Fresno State, where he met his bride, Sarah. He had the good sense to marry her as quickly as he could in 2007, and over the next nine years they had five sons. (Starting to see Peter’s qualifications for speaking to men and sons?) You will love Peter’s sense of adventure, his love for God, and his ability to connect with men of all ages!
Peter’s Starbucks Order: Coffee, black (because he’s an adult)
Cameron Mendez – Worship
Cameron Mendez will be leading the band at our Men & Sons Retreat. Cameron is a high school music teacher and part-time worship leader at Clovis Hills. His heart for God shines through brightly in all he does. Cameron has years of experience working with youth at Sugar Pine, and he famously proposed to his wife, Emily, on stage in the middle of a chapel full of high school students eight years ago. Cameron calls himself “A bigger puzzle nerd than anyone I know,” and he can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute. (Any challengers?) As a kid, Cameron used to even create his own mazes, so it’s official –- he is A-Mazing!
Men & Sons GRILL-A-THON
ALL YOU CAN EAT – ALL AFTERNOON!
The Grill Master will be grillin. We’ll have a variety of smoked meats to sample along with some deep-fried appetizers. And the best part? You can eat as much as you want – all afternoon!
