What Groups Should Know About Renting Camp Como

Updated

Camp Como rents its 240-acre property year-round to Christian groups for worship-focused retreats, and also rents whenever it is not running its own summer programs. To start, groups should use the site's retreat-hosting information and quote request rather than assuming a booking calendar is open. The camp sits at 10,125 feet near Como, Colorado, bordering Pike National Forest, and offers cabins, a dining hall, and high-adventure activities for group use.

Who can rent, and when

The site states two rental conditions that group organizers should check first:

  • Purpose: Rentals are for Christian groups using the camp for the purpose of worshipping Jesus.
  • Timing: Summer retreat rentals are available anytime the camp is not running its own summer programs. The site also describes group rentals as available year-round.

Because the summer window depends on the camp's own program schedule, a group's preferred dates should be confirmed through the camp rather than assumed from the general "year-round" description.

Facilities available to groups

The site's tour and rental sections name these facilities:

Facility What it is
Lillie Building Listed among tour stops and rental facilities
South End Cabins Cabin lodging on the property
Butterfield Dining Hall Group dining space

The property covers 240 acres at the foot of Little Baldy Mountain and Mt. Silverheels, one mile above the town of Como, with national forest on two sides.

Activities for group retreats

The camp lists high-adventure options that groups can choose from:

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

The site frames these as choices for "just the adventure your group wants," so organizers should confirm which activities fit their group's ages and schedule when requesting a quote.

How to request a quote or retreat information

The homepage directs organizers to click through for information about the camp hosting a retreat or to get a quote. The site navigation also includes a "Rent Camp Como for your group" page and a contact page. The practical sequence is:

  1. Review the rental and tour pages to match facilities to your group size and needs.
  2. Use the quote request or contact route to describe your group, preferred dates, and activity interests.
  3. Confirm availability, especially for summer dates that depend on the camp's own program calendar.

The site does not publish rates, deposit terms, or a booking calendar, so those details must come from the camp directly. A PayPal reference appears on the site, but payment terms for rentals are not described.

Getting there

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

The elevation and mountain access are worth factoring into retreat planning, particularly for groups arriving from lower altitudes.
