Camp Como sits on 160 acres at the foot of Little Baldy Mountain and Mt. Silverheels, one mile above the historic town of Como, Colorado, at an elevation of 10,125 feet and bordered on two sides by national forest property and governmental land. From Denver, we are an hour drive southwest on Highway 285 over beautiful Kenosha Pass. From Colorado Springs, we are a 90-minute drive just northeast of Fairplay, Colorado. To the ski resort of Breckenridge, the adventurous route of Boreas Pass Road, (open only in the summer) and the year-round route through Fairplay are both 45-minute scenic drives.
Our History…
In 1962, Colorado Christian Service Camp formed a corporation. In 1964, they purchased the Rocking R Sky Ranch and established a Christian youth ministry. Today the corporation operates under the name of Camp Como and offers summer and winter residential camps, off-site adventure camps, and year-round retreat facilities.
Camp Como is steeped in Colorado history. The original ranch house, known as “the Homestead” cabin, is built from logs cut in 1886 and is used today as a game room. In the 1840’s, Kit Carson trapped beaver in the Tarryall River basin located west of camp. A few years after Kit Carson, in that same river basin, many gold and silver mines were established. The town of Como, one mile below camp, was an important, narrow-gauge rail center during mining boom days. An old cemetery exists just east of camp. All of these features contribute to the historic feel of the camp.
Our Mission…
Through this unique mountain environment to encourage and challenge campers to become fully devoted followers of Christ by making decisions to follow Christ, rededicating their lives to Christ, and being called into full-time ministry.
