Annunciation Heights is a Catholic overnight youth and family camp in the Rocky Mountains at Allenspark, run in the shadow of Longs Peak and the Twin Sisters. Week-long youth sessions take campers in grades 4-12, grouped as Ramblers (4th-6th), Wayfarers (7th-9th) and Trailblazers (10th-12th), with evening talks and activities tailored to each group. Base Camp campers sleep in lodges and eat in the dining hall across a week mixing adventure, faith-based activities and a dedicated hike day, while Rustic Camp sessions eat outdoors and sleep in sleeping bags under weather-resistant tent structures. The camp also runs family camps and young adult weekends.

★★★★★Mariella BridgeJust got back from JPII outdoor lab! It was amazing! I felt close to God. The staff is really nice and there’s fun activities to do everywhere. I loved stargazing by the lake and hiking in the dark. Archery was also fun even though I was bad at it! The cabins are surprisingly modern and fit 11-12 people. I wish the dining hall had more options and better drinks. Otherwise it was an exceptional experience!
★★★★★Adam BabbittMy family had THE best time at the 2025 family camp!! The whole crew has continually asked if we can go back again next year. We loved daily mass, the scenery, the activities and all of the awesome families we met while there. Will and his staff were top notch and are so grateful for everything they put in to the experience. God bless Annunciation Heights and hopefully we can return soon!
★★★★★Matthew PeetzHad an amazing 4 day 3 night stay at family camp. The staff and counselors were amazing. They quickly learned my families names, took great care of my kids, and made us feel incredibly welcomed at the camp. The family activities (high ropes, low ropes, archery, and zip line) were engaging and fun for my kids and brought us closer as a family. Evenings were spent dancing, singing, and around the campfire. Parent sessions were inspiring and meaningful, as was the small group time with other parents. Would highly recommend for anyone who would like to connect with their family.
★Julie OstuniThe facility was great! Staff were uneducated and even at one point during our hike refused a man who was possibly having a medical emergency to return to the bus. This incident could have had a different outcome. This same gentleman and son are now suffering from pneumonia.
★★★★★Kayla MumbyMy son and I attended Outdoor Ed at this camp. We had a great time. In my opinion, going in the summer or at least before the snow comes would be most ideal. I think the camp is at almost 9,000 ft.. It’s freezing up there. It seemed like there’s a lot more options when it’s warmer too. Overall, it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun! Highly recommend!
