Mission in the Mountains

A Mid-Week Sanctuary for Nonprofit Leaders

In the heart of Colorado’s majestic Rocky Mountains lies Highlands Camp & Retreat Center, a haven of peace and purpose for mission-driven organizations. Just a short drive from Denver and Boulder, this serene mountain retreat center offers nonprofit teams the perfect mid-week escape from the constant buzz of the office — a place to strategize, connect, and restore in nature’s quiet company.

A Strategic Pause in a Sacred Space

Nonprofit work is fueled by passion, but that passion can often be stretched thin by daily demands and digital distractions. Highlands Camp offers a distraction-free environment ideal for executive retreats, board meetings, staff planning sessions, or team-building getaways. When removed from ringing phones, packed calendars, and inboxes, your team can focus on what really matters — clarity, creativity, and collaboration.

Why Mid-Week?

Weekday use of Highlands Camp offers several advantages:

  • Availability: Greater flexibility and choice of meeting spaces and lodging.

  • Affordability: Mid-week pricing is often more budget-friendly for nonprofit organizations.

  • Productivity: Meetings held during the traditional workweek tend to see higher engagement and follow-through.

Nature-Based Wellness for Mission-Based Work

Set among towering pines, rolling meadows, and breathtaking views, Highlands isn’t just beautiful — it’s deeply restorative. Studies show that even short exposure to natural environments can reduce stress, enhance problem-solving, and increase team cohesion. At Highlands, your group can incorporate walking meetings, outdoor breakout sessions, or reflective time on wooded trails — all of which support well-being and innovation.

Highlights include:

  • Over 285 acres of private, natural space

  • Access to hiking trails, open meadows, and mountain views

  • Peaceful lodging with options for individual reflection or shared bonding

  • Meals that nourish and energize

  • Meeting rooms equipped for collaborative work in relaxed settings and stunning views

Remote, Yet Convenient

Located just 60-90 minutes from Denver, Highlands offers the perfect balance of accessibility and remoteness. You won’t spend half the day getting there — but you’ll feel like you’ve traveled miles away from the noise. That sense of separation is exactly what makes mid-week meetings here so powerful: it invites people to think differently, speak openly, and reconnect with purpose.

Let Your Mission Breathe

Highlands Camp & Retreat Center isn’t just a meeting venue — it’s a launchpad for transformation. Whether you’re a nonprofit board planning your next big move, a staff team in need of renewal, or a leadership group dreaming up a new initiative, Highlands offers the space, the silence, and the scenery to make it happen.

Bring your mission to the mountains — and let it grow.
