The Nature Place

The Nature Place is a mountain-based conference and retreat centre in Florissant, Colorado, offering organisers a peaceful setting for meetings, leadership retreats, team development programmes, family reunions and educational gatherings. Located around 40 miles from Colorado Springs, the property provides a distinctive alternative to conventional conference hotels, with private mountain surroundings and more than 6,000 acres of natural land to explore.

The venue has several conference and meeting spaces for groups of approximately 20 to 150 people, with flexible layouts, breakout areas, wireless internet and built-in presentation facilities. The setting works well for board meetings, multi-day corporate retreats, training programmes, workshops and organisation-wide gatherings. Outdoor areas and the surrounding landscape can also form part of the programme, giving groups opportunities to step away from the meeting room and spend time together in nature.

Accommodation is available in studio-style apartments built with natural wood and stone. Rooms include private decks, fireplaces, sitting areas, bathrooms, workspaces and small kitchen facilities. The lodge provides a shared hub with dining areas, lounge space, additional meeting rooms, recreational facilities and views towards Pikes Peak.

The Nature Place also supports organisers with meals, special dietary options and tailored activities. Its experienced facilitators deliver team building and leadership development experiences, including high ropes challenges, orienteering, rock climbing and rappelling. Programmes can be adapted to an organisation’s objectives, whether the focus is communication, collaboration, leadership or personal development. The venue is suited to corporate, public-sector, non-profit, educational and family groups looking for a private, residential setting with meeting facilities and meaningful outdoor experiences.
