DescriptionOzark Conference Center is a full-service, interdenominational adult conference center that places special emphasis on camping for children and youth. Ozark is located on 325 acres atop Jenkins Mountain in Solgohachia, Arkansas. Solgohachia has a Native American heritage since it was one of the stopping places on the "Trail of Tears" and there are several legends about the origin of the name. Some say the name comes from a Native American name meaning "a hole in the mountain" while others think the town was named for a favorite warrior of the Cherokee tribe named Sol, who was unusually good with his hatchet. Whatever the name or history, after many years as a nomadic ministry, God led the founders and leaders of Ozark Conference Center to a home on one of the most beautiful mountaintops in Arkansas. The panoramic view welcomes you as you top the mountain. The lodges, villas, and cabins provide a warm, restful atmosphere for your time away from the busyness of life.
Ozark Conference Center began as a dream of Dr. and Mrs. Carl Wenger. They had attended retreat centers around the country to hear great bible speakers, but no such facility existed in Arkansas. In January 1975, Ozark Conferences, Inc. was established as an interdenominational, non-profit organization operating under the direction of a Board of Directors. The first conference was held in October of 1976 with thirty couples in attendance. During that time, Ozark Conferences, Inc. sponsored ten to twelve conferences, workshops, retreats, and luncheons each year in rented facilities throughout Arkansas. In October 1991, a campaign to purchase, renovate, and develop "A Place Called Home" began. God granted great success. In August 1993, the 305 acre facility atop Jenkins Mountain in Solgohachia, Arkansas was dedicated. An additional 18.75 acres with a 5,000 square foot building was added to the facility in January 1995. Details
