High atop the Catoctin Mountains in Jefferson, Maryland, lies a place dedicated to the transformative power of the outdoors. In this episode of Nonprofit Spotlight, we sit down with Diana Edelblute, Executive Director of Mar-Lu-Ridge Summer Camp & Retreat Center to explore their mission of providing sanctuary, service, and community.
As a year-round outdoor ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Mar-Lu-Ridge serves as more than just a summer camp. We dive into the heart of their "With Open Arms" capital campaign, a major initiative focused on radical hospitality and accessibility, ensuring that their 500+ acres of sacred space are truly welcoming to all people, regardless of religion or physical ability.
Whether you’re a former camper looking for a bit of nostalgia or a nonprofit leader interested in how a mission-driven organization maintains its values across decades, this conversation captures the spirit of "going in peace" and serving others.
