Ideal for: Families and Couples | Ages: All Ages | Dates: June 13th – August 7th
The most unique family vacation.
Adventure is the best kind of family bonding.
A 6-day adventure Christian 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will COVID-19 impact family camp?
State regulations are changing every few weeks, meaning we may not know specifics until a few weeks before summer. Nevertheless, we anticipate wearing masks at all times except during meals, swimming, and while in private lodging spaces. More meals, worship sessions, and Bible studies will be outside. Physical distancing will be practiced in public spaces. Spaces will be cleaned on a more rigorous schedule. And activity groups might be smaller than they have been in the past. Specific details will be sent to our registered families through email as summer draws closer.
Are there any discounts available?
We do not have any discounts available for 2021. We do, however, hope to have new scholarship & referral discount programs in place for 2022.
Where is the closest airport? Can you pick us up?
The closest air terminal for commercial planes is the Albuquerque International Sunport. It is located approximately an hour and fifteen minutes from Glorieta. Santa Fe Municipal Airport provides private plane service and commercial service with American Airlines. If your family does choose to fly, you can make arrangements for a rental car, or we can pick you up from the airport for a transportation fee of $100.

Off of I-25 take exit 299. Follow the signs for Glorieta Conference Center which will lead you straight to the front gate.
What is the weather like at Glorieta?
Glorieta weather can be a bit unpredictable. Expect, for the most part, mild mornings, hot afternoons, and cool evenings. One of the greatest things about our area is that there is little to no humidity! It’s not uncommon for an afternoon thunderstorm to arise as well. Our best advice would be to pack pants and a light-weight jacket for the early mornings and evenings. A rain jacket could also prove to be a great thing to have with you.
How big is Family Camp?
A session of Family Camp can have anywhere between from 60 people to our max of 180.
What age is Family Camp for?
Family Camp is designed for all ages. We welcome infants to great-grandparents. Our activities and our programs are geared for all age ranges.
What if I'm a single parent?
While the majority of our guests are not single parent families, each session of Family Camp has a group of single parents. We aim to serve all types of families and assign summer staff to specifically support single parent families as needed.
What is the food like?
Family Camp prides itself on serving the best meals at camp! For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you will always find elegant meals for the adults and tasty options for the kids to accommodate little taste buds.
Do you accommodate food allergies?
We are only able to accommodate gluten free allergies. A gluten-free meal plan can be purchased as an extra in your registration account for $50 per person. For all other special dietary needs, we provide cold storage and prep space for those who wish to bring their own food.
What if I don't want to participate in all the activities?
Each activity is optional. Families are free to plan their day to their preference. The schedule is flexible for families to come and go as they please.
Do I have to come with a church?
No. Family Camp is designed for individual families. However, several of our current families bring other families with them to make the trip even more memorable amongst friends.
Are staff qualified?
Every staff member is background checked, certified in the Child Protection Plan, and trained in activities, food service, retail, childcare, and first aid. Additionally, we have an on-call med staff who responds to medical emergencies.
Can we bring our pets?
As much as we understand pets are a huge part of our families, the only pets allowed at Glorieta are service animals with appropriate documentation.
