EXPERIENCE THE ROCKIES
What better place for your individual, family or group retreat in a beautiful, secluded mountain setting. Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp is also available for non-profit guest groups who have interests compatible with Christian principles. Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp is situated on the west side of famous Pikes Peak about 30 miles west of Colorado Springs at 9,620 feet above sea level. The camp is completely surrounded by Pike National Forest. This affords a chance to experience Colorado's high country wilderness, with its clear streams, conifer and aspen forests, animals, birds, and wildflowers, and the wonder of the world above timberline.
