Well, well!!! If you want the weather to change, just wait a while and it will. Rain one day, cold the next, beach weather the next day!! Our animals down here are confused as to whether they need to hibernate or not. I even saw a snake crossing the road out here a few days ago.
Duane and I have been busy doing our usual winter maintenance and “sprucing up” where necessary.
We have had a few different groups here during our “slack” season. Christmas parties, two youth weekend retreats, a wedding, a men’s retreat, and 3 family reunions have used our facility during our down period. For that, we are grateful for the income. Reservations will be increasing in the coming months as we look forward to our camp season.
We still have projects on our “Wish” list, so if any of your churches are looking for projects, please call me(912-531-2946).
Please continue to keep us in your prayers, and we still need ALL of our churches to support us financially here at the Mann Center.
God bless you all.
Mike Sparks

Nestled in the woods on the outskirts of Brooklet, Georgia on approximately 75 acres, you will find the W. W. Mann Retreat and Conference Center. As a ministry of the Ogeechee River Baptist Association, the Mann Center provides a serene, isolated and worshipful atmosphere for all that come. Whether you just want to get away for a day picnic, a weekend getaway, or a longer stay, the Mann Center is the place for you.
The Mann Center has overnight cabins that sleep up to 25 people, a small dining hall/meeting room that will accommodate approximately 60 guests, a larger dining hall/meeting room that will seat approximately 170 people, a chapel that can hold approximately 100 worshipers, a lodge with private rooms, a gazebo, and an amphitheater.
The Mann Center also has 2 fishing ponds (no fishing license required), a creek for fishing, and a swimming pond. Other recreational options include: a full size basketball court, regulation volleyball court, horse shoe pits, an athletic field, and a large playground.
We like to think that the Mann Center is a “little piece of heaven” where folks can get away from the “hustle and bustle” of everyday life and relax, meditate, pray, or just “recoup” from the stress and strain of our fast-paced society.
The Mann Center rents our facilities to church groups, school groups, private citizens, and others as long as they adhere to our policy of letting your actions glorify God.
We hope all who seek a place for their activities would consider choosing the W. W. Mann Retreat and Conference Center. Contact us at: 912-842-2460, 912-531-2946 or bradwellalum69@yahoo.com .
