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 three sessions, lasting several nights 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.
