Come together, get lost in the right direction.

Leave the road behind and take the trails.

Custom family retreats are where family bonds deepen through unforgettable outdoor adventure for the perfect getaway. Nestled in the heart of God’s natural creation, Glorieta provides the perfect place to get away and make it all happen.

Adventure is the best kind of family bonding.

Whether it’s a much-needed getaway for your immediate family, or you’re planning a milestone reunion, we are all about families growing together and making memories through exciting outdoor adventures and experiential learning. When they spend time in nature playing and overcoming challenges – they grow closer and learn new things about each other. By infusing the camp experience with Biblical truths, real relationships emerge and adventures become life lessons that provide opportunities for spiritual growth. Camp may end, but the wealth of knowledge they gain can impact their lives and communities forever.

TOTALLY FLEXIBLE

Your family bonding is totally flexible so that you can get the most relaxation out of your trip. Feel free schedule in as much or as little as you like.  The important thing is that you relax, unwind and spend time with God – whether alone or in a group. We just want you to be spiritually and physically refreshed.

EXCURSIONS

You can spend all of your retreat nestled in the seclusion of Glorieta and all it has to offer. Or, you can venture off for an afternoon in historic Santa Fe, just a short drive from camp.

Santa Fe is among the oldest cities in the United States, with a vast history and unique mix of art and culture. Set some time aside to visit Santa Fe and attend one of its many festivals, markets, galleries or concerts.

Archery Tag

Equipped with padded arrows and bow on an extensive wooded course full of secret hide-outs, bring your opponents down in a classic game of TAG and many other competitions!

Drift Trikes

Sliding sideways on a Big Wheel made for some serious street cred back in the day. Well, we've amped it up.

Redneck Paintball

Think paintball with slingshots. Don't let the name fool you, your neck is well protected. Your pride, however, is not. Think fast! They come at you from all sides.

Super Swing

With full-body harnesses and an entire team required to run this swing, there's a reason we call it "super!"

Whitewater Rafting

Wanting to really kick your adventurous spirit into gear?! We partner with New Mexico River Adventures to offer a rafting experience you won't soon forget.

Crate Stacking

It turns out, a pile of milk crates can be quite the challenge! It takes balance, focus, and strategy to build as you climb higher and higher. Bet you can't make it to 20.

Via Ferrata

Challenge yourself to traverse "the Iron Way"- where mountaineering meets obstacle course.

The Blob!

Partner up and send your friend sailing through the air by jumping onto this giant inflatable pillow at our Waterfront!

Mountain Scooters

Ever thought to put mountain bike tires on a Razor scooter? Hop on for a ride you won't soon forget!

Mini Golf

If putting around is your thing, we have the perfect way to pass an afternoon. This classic family sport is best under the pines, with a nice summer breeze.

Climbing Grotto

Test your grip and your core strength on our tucked away climbing cavern.

Ga-Ga Ball

Ga-ga wha? Part dodge ball, part tag and part King of the Hill, it takes action to another level. Rule the octagon!

Blacklight Dodgeball

Variations on the classic game, kicked up a notch. From free-for-alls to zombie matches, dodgeball under the glow of these lights can be trickier than you think.

Arbor Climb

Tree climbing on a whole different level.

Drift Ball

It's like a cross between basketball, soccer, hockey, polo and demolition derby on our awesome drift trikes. Hard to explain. Amazing to play.

Obstacle Course

Inflatables meet Waterfront. A combination that makes for quite the slippery match!

Sand Volleyball

For classic games of 2-on-2 to 50-player Nuke 'Em, we have sandy courts for everyone to enjoy!

Sports Courts

There's nothing better than a game of high altitude hoops. Or how about a match of mountain tennis? This is the place!

Bouldering Blocks

Brand new to rock climbing? These colorful blocks are just right for learning the basics and getting the 'hang' of climbing without getting too far off the ground.

Hang Time

There are plenty of places around camp to relax. Stake a claim in our hammock village for the best way to enjoy the mountain breeze.

Waterfront Decks

Decks rigged with rope swings, water zip lines, monkey bars, water slides, and more! We've got plenty to keep you busy staying cool in our Waterfront.

Coffee Shop

A place for a rejuvenating cup o' joe, quality conversations, board games, and kicking your feet up.

Disc Golf

An 18-hole course that spans our entire main campus, this is the perfect place to test your disc golf skills! It's all in your swing... or is it the fling?

Looking for something more unique? These special experiences can be arranged in advance on a limited basis. Talk to your retreat coordinator for more details on availability for your group. Price will vary for each experience so please contact your booking coordinator in advance to discuss details.

Outdoor Movie

Experience a movie in the outdoors together, as Glorieta Camps provides the big screen projector, sound, and popcorn! This is available on a limited basis, and your group must provide the movie to feature.

New Mexico Hall Exclusive Use

For a private retreat with our most upscale meeting spaces this is the best option for your group. This includes all meeting spaces in New Mexico Hall even if they are not used by your group so that you will have a private space for your event. Located directly across from our hotel style lodging this the perfect place for a relaxing retreat.

White Water Rafting

It’s like navigating a torrent of liquid adrenaline while being yelled at to paddle harder, faster, this way and that – or else – you’re going swimming involuntarily. Suddenly the reason for the helmets and life jackets becomes crystal clear to you. This couldn’t be more fun!

Picnic in the Prayer Garden

A date for couples to enjoy the beautiful outdoors while eating on picnic mats spread throughout the prayer garden. We can do more selective meals such as chicken salad sandwiches, fresh fruit, etc.

Date Night at the Ranch House

A romantic night in a more private area of camp away from the main crowds. Our staff will prepare a nice meal such as steak and potatoes and a delicious dessert to finish off the night.

BBQ Dinner & Dance at the Red Barn

A night of delicious BBQ chicken, cornbread, corn on the cob, and delightful peach cobbler. Country music playing in the background sets the mood for a great night of dancing and laughter.

Hobo Dinners at the Back 30

A night of cooking a variety of vegetables and meat over campfires and enjoying the outdoors under the stars.

Sock Hop at Route 66

Freshly cooked burgers, kettle corn popping, and cotton candy with movies under the stars, bowling, and 1950’s-themed sock hop.
