BACKGROUND:
Highlands Presbyterian Camp & Retreat Center is located 90 miles northwest of Denver at the base of Mt Meeker, near Rocky Mountain National Park. At 8,000 feet elevation, the 285 acres of diverse natural area includes ponderosa pine forest, wetlands, meadows, streams, and mountain vistas that moose, beavers, bees and much more call home. Highlands was founded in 1945 as a summer youth camp. With time it expanded into retreat and adult programming. Over the last three years Highlands has come under new management, with a new leadership structure that includes operations and hospitality services conducted by United Camps, Conferences and Retreats (UCCR). We are looking for a dynamic partner to join us in discerning the next steps on Highlands’ journey. We seek an innovator with the ability to dream big. The sky’s the limit and there is no box. We anticipate this will be a 3–5-year journey of engaging in transformational change.
SUMMARY: Under the general supervision of the Board of Directors, the Program Coordinator will be responsible for designing and executing all Adult and Children’s Programs at Highlands. These will include educational and spiritual events for people of all ages, interests, abilities and backgrounds. The Program Coordinator will have a genuine interest in furthering the mission of Highlands Presbyterian Camp and Retreat Center, which is WHERE CHRIST, CREATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECT. The Program Coordinator will be engaging and creative, with passion for inviting people to experience the wonder of nature and discover their relationship to creation.
