Mar-Lu-Ridge

A year-round outdoor ministry of the ELCA

 

In everything we do, we strive to create space for community, service and sanctuary. We value intentional relationships, both with our community members and those who are not yet part of our community. We are a year-round summer camp and retreat center in Frederick County, Maryland.
