Based on the concept that adults, like children, benefit from time spent in the natural world, The Nature Place was conceived in 1978 as a conference and retreat center where adults could experience the joys of continuing education and reignite their connections with nature. 

Known primarily for its world-class, experiential programs in leadership and team development the Nature Place has worked for many years with the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver, as well as with many other corporate and educational groups.

In addition, The Nature Place hosts natural history groups, family reunions, weddings, and is a conference center near Colorado Springs. Outstanding facilities, dining, and the warmth of the professional staff create a unique environment for trainings, gatherings, and meeting of all kinds.
