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.
