Golden Bell Camp & Conference Center is one of Colorado's favorite outdoor destinations for church groups, school groups, family reunions, offsite retreats and seminars, and weekend camping getaways.  Located only 45 minutes northwest of Colorado Springs in Divide, Colorado, Golden Bell is close to everything there is to enjoy during a Rocky Mountain vacation adventure.

Since 1967, Golden Bell has continued to grow and develop programs to meet the Colorado summer Christian camp excitement and specials needs of a outdoor loving, camping community. Golden Bell has a lodge with 26 rooms, dining services and meeting rooms. In addition, there are cabins, an RV Park, Teepee camps, and a full gymnasium and indoor pool. A variety of churches, community organizations, and families think of Golden Bell Summer Camps as the best place to share a bit of Colorado beauty while having a lot of fun!

In the early 1900's the Golden Bell property was virtually undeveloped. There were a few small logging houses, trapper's cabins, ranch houses and school houses in the Divide area. Three Texans traveling through the area coined the name "Golden Bell" after one of the wives of the travelers. As the story has it, she was well known for beautiful hair, which was said to be the color of gold. Some remnants of the early days still remain to this day. For instance, several trapper cabin foundations are still standing near the dam. There is also an old stump near the dam, which still holds the image of three carved crosses, believed to have been carved by early inhabitants of the property.
