Just imagine a weekend full of relaxing, praying, teaching, fun and laughter! Whether you have a family, you are single, or live by yourself, this adventure is viewed by those who have attended as one of the highlights of life at Christ Church. Located in beautiful Buena Vista Colorado, Trail West is the perfect spot to unwind and take some time for reflection. Just check out their website, and you will see what fun awaits.


Highlights Include:

  • Large Group Sessions - This year’s theme is Community: Living Life & Faith Together. We will explore this theme through several large group sessions over the weekend. We will also have some worship time with the band, some prayer ministry time, and some discussion time.

  • Lots of Free Time - This year we again have large blocks of free time. That means that if you still have a napper or if you are a napper, you'll have time after nap to go out and enjoy some free time. You'll have time to go on a hike, explore the camp, play some basketball, go on the climbing wall or just take pics of others doing it, get to know that person you sit next to at church every Sunday, sit in the pool or hot tub, throw a frisbee, practice your Talent Show act, I could go on and on. The possibilities are endless.

  • Yummy Food - All meals are provided beginning with Saturday dinner and we eat together family style. You will not go hungry.

  • S'mores - Each evening we will have a campfire and s'mores.

  • Talent Show - Start rehearsing your act now. The talent show is one of the best parts of the weekend each year because you are always amazed at what you will see. The love, support and unity of attendees is palpable. We'll enjoy acts performed by all ages. So come prepared to show off your talent!
