Winter Retreat

Celebrate the Winter Season in the beautiful Rocky Mountains!

Christmas and New Years are a wonderful time to experience meaningful spiritual teaching and the joy of the holidays at Spring Canyon. Winter Retreat takes place in two sessions, lasting one week each, over both the Christmas and New Year holidays. Winter sports, such as snow tubing, sledding, downhill and cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing, are unique elements of Spring Canyon’s WR. Nearby hot springs and cozy settings provide relaxing backdrops for this winter retreat.

During WR, your days will be open to explore the vast array of Colorado winter adventures, and evening programming will take place nightly in the rustic accommodations of Spring Canyon’s main lodge, Hartley Holmes. Each week will feature a different speaker and adults can expect dynamic seminars and small group sessions. Age-specific programs for children, youth, and teens provide lasting memories and exciting experiences for the whole family. Additional daily childcare may also be available.

Spring Canyon is located between Monarch and Copper Ski Mountains. You can engage most winter sports on our property, and guided activities are also available.

Deposit Policy

A non-refundable deposit is charged at the time of registration to secure your reservation. This advanced deposit allows us to meet early program expenses including speaker travel, seasonal staff salaries and teaching materials. This one-time deposit is applied toward your final bill and is not an additional fee.

Scholarship Policy

As a nonprofit, it is always our goal to provide modest rates for all of our guests. We know that traveling as a family can be expensive, and that cost can still be a deterrent for many of our families. Thanks to generous sponsors, discounts are available for families that qualify. Please call (719) 395-2328 to inquire.

Cancellation Policy

Reservations may be cancelled at any time. Cancellations made before 31 days prior to arrival will be eligible for a full refund minus the non-refundable deposit. If a cancellation occurs within 30 days of your stay, additional penalties may apply. If you are cancelling due to military orders, the non-refundable deposit and any subsequent payments will be returned in full.
