🌲 A New Vision for El Porvenir – Looking Toward 2028 🌲
This past weekend, the El Porvenir Board of Directors adopted an exciting new vision for the future of our camp. We are stepping forward with clarity and hope. Our focus is simple and bold:
“2028 will be a year of homecoming–an invitation for people to return to the mountain and witness the renewing work of God at El Porvenir.
This sacred place will overflow with restored beauty and spiritual vitality. Guests will drink crisp water from the old mine, wander trails that lead them deeper into God’s creation, warm themselves around campfire conversations that spark transformation, and rest in newly refreshed lodging designed for comfort and connection. They’ll pause in the welcome center, worship beneath starstudded skies, taste meals prepared with care, and encounter a staff eager to serve with Christ-like love.
The summer of 2028 will be unlike any in our history—eight full weeks filled with more than 200 guests each week, and September through May will bring the largest gathering of retreat groups El Porvenir has ever hosted. With upgraded lodging, improved meeting spaces, great food, and a renewed sense of mission, every guest will experience the mountain in a fresh and powerful way.
At the heart of the year will be a pinnacle celebration—a grand “return to the mountain” gathering—a time to reflect on God’s faithfulness, rejoice in what He is doing, and boldly commission the next 100 years of ministry at El Porvenir.
And so, in faith, we—the El Porvenir Board of Directors and Executive Director, on February 7th, 2026—declare this vision. Trusting in God’s leadership and stepping forward in obedience, we commit ourselves to faithfully steward this remarkable opportunity.”
