ABOUT US:

Lone Rock Retreat is a mission-driven retreat center supporting education leaders working to ensure every child has access to an excellent education. Located just 40 minutes from downtown Denver and 30 minutes from the Foothills, right off Highway 285, our inspiring natural setting offers a space for reflection, connection, and meaningful impact.

Unlike traditional hospitality environments, we are not open 365 days a year. We only host groups up to 60 people with a minimum two-night stay. Our calendar aligns with the rhythms of the education community, which often means time off during major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s—creating a healthier work-life balance for our team.

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for full-time team members
