What Activities and Facilities Are Available at Camp Como?

Updated

Camp Como offers high-adventure activities — high ropes, a giant swing, zipline, laser tag, and indoor rock climbing — plus rentable facilities including the Lillie Building, South End Cabins, and Butterfield Dining Hall. These are available to groups that book the camp for retreats or rentals, and to campers in its summer and winter programs. The 240-acre site borders Pike National Forest at 10,125 feet, with aspen and evergreen forests and views of 13,000-foot peaks.

Adventure Activities

The camp lists the following high-adventure options for groups:

  • High ropes course
  • Giant swing
  • Zipline
  • Laser tag
  • Indoor rock climbing

Camp Como presents these as choices a group can pick from, so the exact mix for a given visit depends on what your group arranges when booking. If a specific activity is essential to your trip, confirm it during the quote or registration process rather than assuming everything is running on your dates.

Facilities and Lodging

The site names three facilities you can tour or book:

Facility What it is
Lillie Building One of the camp's named buildings, listed under the camp tour
South End Cabins Cabin lodging on the property
Butterfield Dining Hall The camp's dining facility

These appear both in the camp tour and in the rental information, so they serve program campers and rented groups alike.

The Setting

Camp Como sits on 240 acres at the foot of Little Baldy Mountain and Mt. Silverheels, one mile above the historic town of Como, Colorado. The property is bordered on two sides by national forest and government land, which gives groups direct access to forest terrain. Driving times from the site:

  • Denver: about one hour southwest on Highway 285 over Kenosha Pass
  • Colorado Springs: about 90 minutes, northeast of Fairplay
  • Breckenridge: about 55 minutes via Boreas Pass Road (summer only) or the year-round route through Fairplay

Activities by Program Type

Summer and winter camps. Camp Como runs its own programs year-round, including snow camp and age-based options from elementary through high school, plus wilderness backpacking and intern adventures. Adventure activities are part of the camp experience.

Group rentals. The camp rents to Christian groups year-round for worship and retreats, and rents out the property whenever its own summer programs are not running. Rentals are where the activity menu — ropes, swing, zipline, laser tag, climbing — matters most, since groups choose what they want.

Practical Notes

  • The camp accepts PayPal as a payment method.
  • Winter visits are described as having a "perfect amount of snow and high elevation sunshine," so cold-weather gear matters at this altitude.
  • Boreas Pass Road is open only in summer; plan the Fairplay route in winter.

To lock in specific activities and buildings, request a quote or register through the camp's contact and registration pages, and confirm your activity list at that point.
