Welcome to Upon the Rock!!!

Upon the Rock is a Christian Camp for kids and families. Our goal is to bring the life saving good news of Jesus Christ to the lost, while teaching the saved what it means to have an intimate relationship with their Savior.

This non-profit organization is Christ-centered, and is not affiliated with any particular denomination because our goal is to minister to anyone who desires to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.

We feel that a place like Upon the Rock is needed because the pressures of society are causing people to forget their "first love." With the hurry-scurry of life, it seems like God is taking a back seat in the lives of children and adults. Upon the Rock provides a setting and a program, which helps participants relax and focus on what is truly important.

For the past eleven summers, we have rented a facility for our elementary and junior camp programs.  This has been a positive time of learning and growing for us as camp directors, program developers, staff recruiters, meal planners, marketing and correspondence facilitators and first aid care givers.  Renting a facility made it possible to begin the process of honing our program operation skills, but this arrangement has also had its drawbacks.  In 2007, God provided the funds through numerous generous donors to pay off the 120 acres that He led us to here in beautiful La Veta, Colorado.  Currently, we are putting the finishing touches on the Master Plan, which will prayerfully be approved in February 09.  At that point, we will announce our capital campaign for building funds, and the vision God has placed in our hearts will begin to take on the physical and tangible features that we’ve been longing to build for many years!  These are exciting times for Upon The Rock, and our prayer is that you will choose to be part of this ministry in some way.

In His Grip,
Mark and Kim Brunner,
Founders of Upon the Rock
