Rockhaven Camp and Retreat Center is a small but mighty 10 acre outdoor ministry of the First Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) of Bozeman, MT. Rockhaven follows an innovative “UnCamp” summer camp model. During UnCamp, free play, nature play, and experiential environmental education are center stage. Located under the magnificent Sheep Rock in beautiful Gallatin Canyon south of Bozeman, Rockhaven is the perfect location to safely and freely explore the wonders of the world around us. Nine sessions of camp are offered from June – August, including day camp and overnight opportunities for kids ages 5-15. All camps include hiking, group games, rock climbing, community fellowship, music, s’mores, and plenty of Rockhaven’s signature nature play time. UnCamp is designed to allow campers and counselors the freedom to breathe and decompress, disconnect and discover their sense of curiosity.
At Rockhaven we celebrate diversity in all its forms including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and abilities. We believe that every individual brings unique perspectives and strengths, and we strive to create a space where everyone feels valued, respected, and included.
