Larissa Nicholson

We had a Woman's Retreat this weekend and it was amazing! Our whole group had so much fun and I'll definitely be at the next one.

John and Gayle Stahlman

Our ministry has been renting the Center for a summer camp for almost 20 years. We have enjoyed working with Colleen and the other staff. They are most accommodating and permit us to run our camp as we always have.

Patti Smith

I have been during ladies scrapbooking retreats for about 10 years now. Mt. Chestnut Nazarene Center has always accommodated us gone out of their way to make sure our retreats are fun and cost-effective.

Bill Kramer

We hold our annual Men's Retreat at the Center. We are always taken care of, our set-up is always easy, the food is great, and the cost is very reasonable. The camp has truly been a blessing to me and the group I represent.

Colleen Smith

A great retreat experience! The Center looked great and the food was excellent! Thank you for having everything prepared for us and for your time and attention.

Tom Aaron

I have been directing our District Teen Camp at Mt. Chestnut for 12 years. Colleen is there to help and serve our needs. The staff is courteous and Mark, the cook, did a fantastic job and the meals were delicious. I'm not sure you could find better service.
