Alta Mons hosts a large number of group retreats from SW Virginia and abroad. A group retreat can be a simple one night, cook your own food event. Or your group can stay for a week or more and let us do all the cooking. Retreats often include a challenge/ropes course event facilitated by our well trained, highly experienced staff. We have four year-round retreat facilities and a number of three season and seasonal accomodations. Many provide a kitchen, meeting room and beds for a self contained retreat or you can have full food service in our dining hall. With various facilities and facility combinations available to host groups up to about a hundred, Camp Alta Mons (if booked far enough in advance) can accommodate a great variety of groups. Do you need help planning your retreat, ask our staff to help guide you through the process of organizing your event.
