A Christ-Centred Conference Centre

MBC is Canada’s largest Christ-centred conference and retreat centre, located in beautiful Muskoka Canada, only 2 hours north of Toronto, Canada. With over 200 acres of beautiful Muskoka property, MBC is a popular destination for family, church groups, company getaways, and many more.

Founded in 1930, MBC has been serving the church for 80 years. We’re thankful for how God has used MBC to bless thousands of people over the years and we’re excited as we look forward to what He has in store for the future.

MBC exists to glorify God and expand His Kingdom through the facilitation of compelling community experiences where guests are renewed, revived and refreshed.

• Renewed – born as a new creation into relationship with God
• Revived – inspired in faith, hope and love; equipped to fulfill the work of God in their community.
• Refreshed – through rest and recreation

Our core experiences include:

• Summer Bible Conference – some 4,000 guests attend our 9 weeks of summer family programming.  Families are strengthened (building memories together), faith is strengthened (Bible teaching) and children and youth have positive role models to reflect on.  More than ever, our guests are using these experiences to bring families who have limited faith background and so we are seeing adults come to saving faith each summer.  In 2010 we are partnering with a family support organization to encourage families in practical everyday life through weekly seminars and training.

Camp Widjiitiwin – our children’s day and residential camp program.  Each year we see some 400 to 600 children and youth enrol for a week of high impact Bible teaching, role modeling and creative outdoor play.  In 2009 we launched a partnership week with the Toronto Police and Scripture Union to provide a special camp experience for 30 ‘youth-at-risk’ from the Malvern region in Toronto.  In 2010, this partnership will expand to 60 campers.  Many parents have testified that their children are positively changed as a result of a week at camp.  Camp Widji also provides leadership training experiences for about 48 youth each summer through our S.A.L.T. program.  These leaders in training typically move into camp staff roles in subsequent years.

Stepping Stones Discipleship – launched in 2009 as a pilot at MBC and then officially being launched in 2010, this program is intentional about creating a holistic discipleship/life training experience for up to 100 youth annually.  These youth range in age from 15 to 25 years.  The focus is on experiential training in the areas of ‘spiritual formation’, ‘community life’ and ‘work excellence’.  This program has been developed in partnership with Fair Havens Ministries where it was originally launched in 2003.

Women of Grace Retreats – four events are programmed annually with a total enrolment of some 500 to 600 women.  These events are designed to encourage women in their spiritual faith and in the positive fulfillment of their role in their home community, church and family.

Conference & Retreat Centre – each year more than 50 church and para-church organizations utilize our facility for their spiritual retreat purposes.  This translates into serving more than 2,500 individuals.  These groups include special partnerships with the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptists to encourage pastors and their wives in ministry.

In total, more than 10,000 guests are renewed, revived and refreshed annually through the various programs of MBC.
