Our mission at Bear Trap Ranch is to further the Kingdom of God by serving His people and those who are seeking Him. Bear Trap is a retreat center which hosts college students, youth groups, families, churches, schools and ministries based both locally in Colorado’s Front Range, and around the world. Located at 9100ft elevation in a forested valley just eight miles southwest of Colorado Springs, Bear Trap’s setting has provided a gateway for thousands of guests and campers to experience God and His creation in new and wondrous ways. Bear Trap is a place of wonder, beauty, peace and adventure.

Bear Trap Ranch is located just 35 minutes outside of the center of downtown Colorado Springs, only eight miles beyond the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on Old Stage Road. Although Bear Trap Ranch is the closest retreat center of its size to downtown Colorado Springs, once on the property there is a distinct sense of being truly remote–a place of wonder, beauty, peacefulness and adventure with a deep sense of home.
