Young Life’s Crooked Creek Ranch

Beautiful getaway in the mountains.
Crooked Creek Ranch is beautiful. I know, quite the introduction. But every time I’ve been here (this is my 4^th or 5^th time) I’m always impressed and eager to return.
Let’s start with the view… Oh my gosh. Your tucked neatly in the mountains and no matter if the mountains are snow capped or lush and green you really get this since of how wonderful nature can be. There’s a lake for done swimming in the summer and the camp is littered with hiking trails if that’s your thing. The camp also offers a gym, game room, and multiple areas to sit back and read with one of the most beautiful views in America.
The thing that puts Crooked Creek over the top is the amazing staff. I’ve helped run a few church retreats up here and never once had any conflict with anyone working here. The rooms have a nice cozy cabin vibe which is perfect for the non camping «camper.» The kitchen and common areas are always well kept and the food is exceptional for a retreat center.
Overall, if your planning anything from a youth/​young adults retreat, to a business retreat, or even a family reunion you’d be short changing yourself not to have Crooked Creek high on your list of destinations.

Man oh man! I’ve been up here the past 3 years around the second week in September. If you don’t know, that specific time of year is when the leaves on the Aspen’s change to a brilliant yellow which contrasts the coniferous (pine) that stay green all year. The grounds are well kept and always have the facilities in working order. There are tons of activities from frisbee golf, zip lines, weight/​cardio room, basketball court, climbing walls, hiking, biking, and so much more. I attend for a church retreat and always have a sense of awe and oneness with the environment. Great place, great food, great facilities!

Amazing, serene, adventurous, yummy… These grounds are well kept, the staff truly nurture from the heart and have thought of most needs. The service was great and the food was better than many 5 star restaurants I’ve frequented… Mist of all, the views and just the space itself is other-​worldly. I’ll leave you with one word: GO.

This is simply one of the finest retreat/​camp facilities in the country. If you’ve ever been to a YoungLife camp, you know they do it right. if you’ve never been, you’re selling your group short of one of the best experiences you’ll ever have.

Not your grandma’s camp facility. Incredibly beautiful and lush accommodation and the food was awesome. Folks I take always are amazed with the property and the service. Their staff are some of the kindest and most wonderful people to work with. You won’t regret using it for a retreat for your group!
