"Strandleiren, Sola" - a NMS camp site near Stavanger airport

"Strandleiren" was established as a Christian camp site for young peolpe in the late 1940s by Racin Kolnes (NMS missionary in China 1925-1947). In 1959 the property was transferred to NMS ownership.

Now, the camp site has been transformed into a hotel and conference center, operated by NMS, not only for camps and retreats but also for general accomodation and catering purposes. The name of the place has changed from "Strandleiren" to "Himmel & Hav kurs og misjonssenter".
