Just because the Summer Camp season has come to an end and campers have headed back to school doesn’t mean camps are slowing down! The fall retreat season is here and DSC C&RM is delighted to share our upcoming retreats and events, including the new Teen Retreat (coming to both sites) for LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies and two new camps at Mingus this fall and winter! Please check out the websites (and see more below) for details.

Retreats at Camp
Potosi Pines and Mingus Mountain are the perfect locations to hold retreats! Come enjoy the serenity and peacefulness of our beautiful locations. Plan your own retreat or let our staff help with programming and schedules; we can accommodate groups of 20 or more. If an overnight stay does not fit into your schedule, consider a day retreat! We can help plan your staff retreat, family camp, youth retreat, and more.
Camp is also a great getaway for a mid-week clergy retreat. Mingus Mountain offers two motel-style VIP rooms, complete with 2 single beds each, bed linens, towels, and private bathrooms.
For more information and availability:
