From a silent auction to a live auction, from fellowship with other camp supporters to a fun way to meet great people, your participation enables NLOM to provide opportunities to campers no matter their ability to pay for camp. All are welcome here, in these spaces where we live out our faith in ways that show everyone they belong and are unconditionally loved by God.

The Saloon

Push past the swinging doors and slip into our special saloon, where the charm of the Old West meets the thrill of something just a little off the record. Behind the doors, guests can kick back with a western-inspired signature drink, kick their heels up with country line dancing, or simply soak in the glow of vintage saloon ambiance.

Unsure if you can attend the full Gala? Or want to support camp while catching up with fellow camp outlaws? Join us for this drop-in time. (Tickets to the full Gala are sold separately.)
