Getting Here and Back Home

When to get here:  Plan to arrive at the Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp (see driving directions below) between 2:30 and 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 5.  We'll complete your check-in and get you into your lodging.  We'll have supper at 5:00 p.m., meet the instructors, have an introductory jam (optional, as is everything) and have a concert with our instructors.

If you're flying:  You can fly into either Denver International Airport (DEN) or Colorado Springs (COS).  Colorado Springs often has flights that are as cheap as Denver, and it'll save three to four hours out of your life, and a lot of hassle.  However, Southwest now flies into Denver and you might find some very good fares by flying with them (they also don't charge you for normal baggage).

Airport shuttle: we'll provide shuttle service to and from the Denver and Colorado Springs airports; we charge $30 each way for Denver and $10 each way for Colorado Springs.  Another reason to fly in and out of Colorado Springs: the 40 bucks you save in shuttle fare.

If you're flying in and would like a ride to the camp:

  • If you’re flying in to Denver, please book a flight that arrives no later than 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 5. 

  • If you’re flying in to Colorado Springs, please book a flight that arrives no later than 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 5.

If you're flying out and would like a ride back to the airport:

  • If you’re flying out of Denver, you’ll leave the camp right around 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, and arrive at the airport around 10:30 a.m.  We suggest you book a flight no earlier than 12:30 p.m.

  • If you’re flying out of Colorado Springs, you'll leave the camp around 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 11 and arrive at the airport around 10:00 a.m. We suggest you book a flight no earlier than noon. 

If you’re flying out of either airport and have other times in mind, you might be able to catch a ride with other campers who live in the area, but you’re on your own to coordinate with them.

If you're driving:  You’re going to the Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp, 709 County Road 62 in Divide, Colorado, 80814, phone 719-687-9506.  Here are directions, and a map is below.

  • From Colorado Springs, go West on US 24 about 21 miles to Divide.  There’s one stoplight in Divide at the intersection of Colorado Highway 67.

  • At the stoplight, turn South (left) on 67 toward Cripple Creek.  Go about 4 miles South and watch for the "Rocky Mountain Camp" sign shortly after the entrance to Mueller State Park.  Travel 1.5 miles up on the National Forest road to the Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp.
