Mount Carmel Ministries

Mount Carmel Ministries Mount Carmel Ministries is a place of rest, renewal, and recreation where people experience Jesus. Why should the kids have all the fun?

We’ve been transforming lives through “Jesus Only” since 1938. Visitors and members of our faith community can use our grounds to get away from their normal routine to celebrate the life we are given in this beautiful setting. Mount Carmel Ministries is a non-profit, Christ-centered corporation which is governed by a Board of Trustees. The areas within our ministry are: Mount Carmel Conference Cen

ter, Mount Carmel Summer Family Camp, Daily Bible Study and Cabin Rental, and Congregation Renewal Weekends. We are located on the shores of beautiful Lake Carlos just north of Alexandria, MN. We are excited to see how God will continue to bless us, grace upon grace! (John 1:16)

Mount Carmel Summer Family Camp includes seven weeks of family camp (for all ages); five or six week long family camps and two or three mini-week family camps each summer. After breakfast, we begin our day with uplifting worship and go into our program for the morning, with a variety of speakers, professors, pastors, and teachers each week. The youth take part in uplifting worship and Bible lessons with counselors, and meet back with their family for lunch together. Afternoons have a variety of activities available including the beach, games, boating, arts and crafts, tours, to name a few. After supper, the evening programs may include campfires, talent shows, concerts, games, and communion worship. Camp for Adults of All Ages is a “camp” designed for adults and seniors, held for three- or five-day sessions at Mount Carmel during the months of August and September. Similar to Summer Family Camps, the days are geared toward in-depth learning, fun activities, and plenty of socializing and relaxation – and great food! Adults can go to camp too! We are a year-round destination for your retreat, conference, business or family event. Mount Carmel Ministries is the peaceful destination your group or event is searching for. Mount Carmel provides a gorgeous setting, first-rate housing accommodations, flexible meeting facilities, terrific meals, and a staff waiting to serve you.

Introducing our teacher for the 2026 Lakeside Bible Retreat!

Pastor Laurie Neill wrote the book "Who Told You That?" In which the core messages centers on identifying the lies we believe about God and ourselves, replacing them with the truth of God's Word. During this week at camp, Pastor Laurie will speak on these lies and give a practical & pastoral framework for navigating faith, identity, shame, anxiety, and spiritual growth.

The Lakeside Bible Retreat is a camp for adults and seniors that is full of fellowship and faith formation while enjoying the beautiful place that is Mount Carmel!

Introducing our teacher for Family Camp Week 7: Steve Olcott!

Diving into Paul's letter to the Ephesians to explore what it means to live as part of God's family. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, single, or young adult, this week helps you see how the gospel shapes all our relationships — with humor, humility, and a few good stories along the way. We are also blessed to have Dave Wollan preaching during this week and the Hoff Family providing music for worship!
