On and Off-Property Signature Adventures

We are thrilled to offer a variety of “Signature Adventures” for your family to enjoy this year! Already included with your Family Camp experience are several on-property adventures, including: High Five, Mountain Scooters, Via Ferrata, Paddleboard Yoga, Family Pictures, and the Mount Baldy hike. This year we are introducing more off-property adventures through our trusted third-party partners, including: including white water rafting, horseback riding, guided fly fishing, and hot air balloon rides! NOTE: These off-property adventures are only available for 5 and 6 night sessions!
 
On-Property Sign Ups
To help manage traffic flow and better space out participants throughout the week, we are introducing a new sign-up system. Mountain Scooters and Via Ferrata will still offer limited walk-up participation if space remains, but signing up in advance is the best way to guarantee your spot during your preferred time slot! To sign up for these time slots for the on-property adventures, log in to your Glorieta registration portal and navigate to the “Event Info” section, where you will find a link to our sign up system. 
 
Off-Property Sign Ups
To register for any off-property adventures, please log into your Glorieta registration portal and navigate to the “Event Info” section, where you will find registration options for each activity. We kindly ask that families book these adventures at least one week in advance so we can properly coordinate with our partner companies. If your family chooses to participate in one of these off-property adventures, we simply ask that you return to camp by 4:00 PM, in time for the evening Worship session.

What Are We Studying?

God’s Kingdom is often described as “upside down,” not because it is broken or out of order, but because it stands in contrast to the values of the world. Scripture reveals that while the world has been distorted by sin, God’s Kingdom reflects the way life was always meant to be lived—in relationship with God and with one another!Throughout the Gospels, Jesus taught in ways that challenged expectations and confronted worldly assumptions. His words often sounded puzzling to those who heard them, yet they revealed the heart and wisdom of God. Jesus showed that true greatness is found in serving others, that strength is revealed through humility, and that real life is discovered not by relying on ourselves, but by trusting in God. He is both the Lamb who humbly lays down His life for us and the Lion who conquers sin and death, showing that God’s power is often revealed in ways the world does not expect.

New in 2026

Via Ferrata

We recently redesigned our famous Family Camp Via Ferrata, an “iron path” built into the mountain that allows guests to safely traverse brand-new cliff features, bridges, and rock walls while securely attached to a safety cable. It’s a unique mix of hiking and climbing and a great adventure for anyone looking to try something new and experience the mountain in a whole new way.

Crate Stacking

Test your balance and strength in this rock climbing training activity as you climb to the ceiling
attached to an auto belay using milk crates!

Marble Run

Try our Marble Run, the longest marble run in North America at over 600 feet long! Race your marble down the track, time your run, and see if you can claim the title of fastest marble in the land. It’s a fun and simple activity that quickly becomes a family favorite.

 

Evening Hall Monitors

​Every night after the evening experience is done, we’ll have activities running, retail open, and space available to fellowship with other families. If you want to take advantage of this time to hang out but have little ones who need to go to bed, you can put them down in your hotel room while members of our Family Camp team staff the hallways. If your child starts to fuss, you’ll be alerted right away.

 

Support Families

​One of the best parts of Family Camp are the different folks who come and serve as our Speakers, Worship Leaders, and Host Families. To learn more about who will be leading during your session, check out the Support Families portion of our website.

 
 

We’re Cashless!

​We won’t have cash in our retail locations in hopes that it makes for one less thing to keep track of. All locations will accept credit card or Camp Credit.

If you want to give your kids an allowance to use for the week, all they’ll have to do is give their name to our retail staff to pay for their purchase.

To add Camp Credit, log in to your Glorieta account and click on “Camp Credit” at the top of the page or wait and add during check-in.

Unused Camp Credit can be refunded or donated automatically based on your selection when purchasing.

Arrival/Departure Information

​We’ll be sending more detailed info next week, but so you can begin to make travel plans, know that check-in will be from 3:00-5:30pm Mountain Time on your arrival day and check-out is anytime before 10:00am on your departure day. You will be greeted by our team at the entrance of Glorieta on your arrival day.
