A unique all-inclusive summer family vacation full of outdoor adventure, relationships and biblical truth!
The most unique family vacation.
Adventure is the best kind of family bonding.
A Christian adventure camp experience where families and couples can deepen their relationships through unforgettable outdoor adventures in the mountains!
Featuring top-notch food, comfy hotel-style rooms, inspiring speakers and exciting outdoor activities, Glorieta provides the perfect place to get away and refocus on what matters.
Family time that transforms.
When families spend time outdoors and outside of their everyday norm, they grow closer and learn new things about each other. Our hope is that every moment spent at camp is an opportunity for God to work in your family’s hearts.
By combining the camp experience with Biblical truths, families discover deeper relationships and spiritual growth as individuals and together. Your Christian family camp may end after one week, but the knowledge you gain can impact your families and communities for a lifetime.
