“I
look up to the mountains; does my strength come from the mountains?
No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven and earth and the
mountains.”
— Psalms 121: 1-2
 In 1963, Colorado Christian Service Camp Corporation, also known as
Camp Como, purchased the Rocking R Ranch and established a Christian
youth ministry. Today the camp offers summer residential camps,
off-site
adventure camps and year-round retreat facilities. Located only 45 minutes
from Breckenridge and Summit County, Camp Como is convenient for
ski
groups.
Camp Como is also steeped in Colorado history. The original ranch
house is built from logs cut in 1886 and is available today for resident
camper
lodging. We call it “The Homestead” cabin. In the 1840s,
Kit Carson trapped beaver in the Tarryall River basin located behind
the camp. A few years later, in that same river basin, many gold and
silver mines were established. The town of Como, one mile below camp,
was an important narrow-gauge rail center during mining boom days.
