Camp St Malo Heritage

Two miles to the south of Annunciation Heights is Camp St. Malo.  Camp St. Malo was founded as a Catholic youth camp in the archdiocese of Denver in 1920.  From 1920 to until the early 1980s, it functioned as a youth camp, bringing boys and girls to the mountains as a means of encountering God and deepening faith.  In 1984, the youth camp was closed to construct a retreat center.  Though Camp St. Malo and the Chapel on the Rock still host tens of thousands of tourists annually to the property, the youth camp vision lives on in Annunciation Heights, a continuation of the same mission begun over a century ago.
