Camp Shady Brook
Gather, reflect, and head outdoors
A retreat at Camp Shady Brook can make room for quiet reflection and time outdoors, with the shape of the gathering left to the group. Set in the Rocky Mountains near Deckers, this year-round camp pairs a natural setting with meeting areas, food service, trails, wildlife and a range of camp activities. That mix suits groups looking to balance planned sessions with fresh air and time together, rather than retreating to a dedicated meditation facility with a fixed program. The surrounding landscape gives a gathering a distinctly outdoorsy feel, while the meeting spaces and meal service help support the practical side of bringing people together. Groups can build their own rhythm around the camp’s setting and facilities. Ask the host about dates, lodging arrangements and the details of any particular retreat before making plans.
