The Nature Place, designated by the National Park Service as a National Environmental Study Center, is a unique, non-profit conference and meeting facility, dedicated to leadership and team development, providing experiences in natural history and studies of natural systems. A retreat to the The Nature Place is a deeply gratifying and transformative experience. Our outdoor experiential learning techniques engage and connect individuals with nature, their inner-self and their team — empowering them to become more effective leaders in their organizations, communities and families. We work with corporations, non-profit and educational institutions to plan a customized group experience, that effectively meets your organizational goals. The Nature Place also features natural history programs, experiential and environmental training for teachers, as well as facilities for weddings, family gatherings and group reunions. Located in the mountains, just 40 miles west of Colorado Springs, The Nature Place is convenient to organizations on Colorado’s Front Range.
