Camp Comeca is a wonderful example of how a donor with passion and vision can create a unique place of spiritual and physical benefit to people of all ages. Established in 1950, a generous donor created a trust to help maintain the hotel portion of the camp. 

As you drive down gravel roads
surrounded by cornfields near Cozad, a high bluff suddenly appears almost out of nowhere and you wind around to the top to see beautiful brick buildings and a view like no other in Nebraska.

This camp not only has a real hotel with 20 rooms, en-suite bathrooms and 53 beds, they also have three dorms with capacity of 20 - 44, and 11 cabins with room for 15-20 in each. Available activities include an indoor heated pool, lake and canoes, tennis courts, full sized gym, low ropes challenge course, archery, hiking and biking trails, horseback riding and even a zipline. 

But for Randy Fleming, former board member of NUMF, the greatest benefit of the camps goes far beyond providing wonderful summer programs  for kids. "I never went to camp as a kid, and sure wished I could have. But when I joined the United Methodist Men as as adult, I attended my first retreat at Camp Comeca." That experience had a profound effect on Randy.  He says, "Not only did I connect with a higher power, I was able to connect with great men of integrity. I've served over 25 years with UMM, and those retreats were the best experiences I have ever been a part of in the Methodist church."

Randy has already made a donation to support the camps in honor of NUMF's 50th Anniversary.  "I gave because I want to help Fontanelle and Norwesca update their facilities, and help Comeca advertise so more folks can discover them.  And because I believe in NUMF. They know how to invest and manage the gifts raised for this fund to help keep the camps going for many years."
