The hermitage is directed by the Community of the Beatitudes of Denver, and features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full kitchen, a meeting room that can fi t up to 20 people and a chapel with the Blessed Sacrament. Devoid from all modern technological distractions, the hermitage's 62 acres of rugged woodland allow for a restful and prayerful stay for individuals or groups. The piece of land on which the hermitage rests was purchased by Father Roger Mollison in the early '90s, who dreamed of providing a safe place away from the distractions of daily life where people could encounter God. The Community of the Beatitudes continues that mission by providing spiritual guidance or private Mass if requested with anticipation and "Come and Rest" days for groups seeking guided refl ection. As the site's website suggests, "Whether you walk the trails, sit quietly in the gazebo or fi nd a spot [you discovered], the solitude and beauty of nature is a constant reminder of the love God has for this earth, for each of us, and for you in particular. God will speak to you there and you will return to your daily life blessed and renewed." Visit jesus-our-hope.org for more information. JESUS OUR HOPE HERMITAGE Providing one of the most beautiful views of Longs Peak, the Archdiocese of Denver's new adventure camp, located 10 miles south of Estes Park, rightfully carries the mission of providing a place where people can encounter the Creator through the beauty of creation. The fun activities and programs o¤ ered for kids, families and schools year-round are all directed to this goal. The Summer Camp programs for 4th to 12th graders include activities such as hiking, climbing and zip-lining, along with daily Mass, formation and prayer. While Annunciation Heights is not available for individual retreats, it is possible to book for group retreats for adults or young men, women and other Catholic groups. Even more, the sta¤ continuously strives to be witnesses of what Christian hospitality should look like. And for those who truly seek to get away, there is no cellphone coverage, which helps to enter into the experience, instead of checking social media or work emails. Wi-Fi, we must say, is available for retreat leaders and emergencies. Whether you want to send your kid to summer camp or go on retreat with your parish group or your family, Annunciation Heights is a great option. The archdiocese invested in a place to make it available to the faithful — use it! For more info visit annunciationheights.org ANNUNCIATION HEIGHTS i i PHOTO BY ANDREW WRIGHT
