These retreats offer an opportunity to deepen your relationships: with yourself, family and God. It is not easy to live a life in mission with the challenges in our world. We need support, and we find it at the retreats. The focus of the retreats center on healing and reconciliation. We have much work to do in bringing the light of Christ into the world. Our prayer is that you would take advantage of these retreats to increase your faith, hope, and love. We are looking forward to having you with us on the mountain. God Bless!

The beautiful setting of the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park will host our retreat.  The cost of the weekend includes the retreat fee, 4 meals (3 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday morning), and lodge room. Single, double or triple occupancy are at different rates. Most rooms are in Longs Peak Lodge with overflow in nearby Emerald Lodge. Each room has two queen beds and a single futon/mattress tucked in a bureau. Every room has its own private bathroom and refrigerator. Several Handicap rooms are available upon request. Please indicate your rooming preference on the registration form. 

Cabins may be available. WE WILL NOT RESERVE A CABIN FOR YOU. They differ in size, and price. If you’d like to reserve a cabin please contact the YMCA directly at 970-586-3341. If you arrange your own lodging the fee for the retreat is $225.00, which includes retreat fee and meals but not lodging. Please register using the “Self Arranged Lodging – Cabin” dropdown.
