FMC GET-AWAY WEEKEND
Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp
September 22-24, 2017
Treat yourself to a weekend away from the city and your many obligations. Join other FMCers at Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp on September 22-24 for a weekend of hiking, learning and fresh air. This is an annual event for First Mennonite and the more who attend; the more fun will be had!
Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp is situated on the west side of famous Pikes Peak about 30 miles west of Colorado Springs at 9,620 feet above sea level. The camp is completely surrounded by Pike National Forest. This offers the opportunity to experience Colorado’s high country wilderness, with its clear streams, conifer and aspen forests, animals, birds, and wildflowers, and the wonder of the world above timberline.
Friday
Gather in the main lodge for board games and snacks in the evening after you arrive. Bring some of your favorite games and goodies to share with others.
Saturday
Activities for children and adults are planned; including hikes, games, an adult discussion and a Saturday evening sing along.
Sunday
We will have a worship service on Sunday morning at 9:15 in the chapel. Brunch will be served at 10:30 am. Cereal will be available earlier in the morning.

A sign-up sheet for activities and cabins will be in the Community Room each Sunday prior to the Getaway Weekend. Breakfast on Saturday morning will be available if at least 12 people sign up. If you need a ride to camp, please indicate it on the registration form so that a carpool can be arranged.

If your needs do not allow you to stay at the camp, you may want to consider reserving a room at the Woodland Country Lodge in Woodland Park and joining us for the activities.
