The Nature Place Reviews
What Our Guests Are Saying
“This is the most life-transforming event I have encountered in 30 years around the globe. Participants come hoping to sharpen their technical skills; they leave inspired to become a better person. What better place to discover what really matters? The atmosphere is enchanting, the peaks are breathtaking, and then something magical happens.”
After jumping off a pole and walking across cables with the team's support, I now know that if I put my mind to something, I can and will accomplish it. I also learned that I am a cheerleader at heart and am able to encourage others. This is an area where I lacked confidence previously.
Worth It
“Our Chief Officers just attended a 3 day leadership training and development program at The Nature Place. The program was nothing short of outstanding. I recommend the Insights Discovery System, the high ropes challenge course, and going to the observatory, although every activity we participated in was fun and educational. The staff was very service oriented and fun to be around. The facilities were impeccably clean and the food was outstanding. Our program and stay was also surprisingly affordable. We emerged from this experience as a more cohesive and effective leadership team.”
A Great Choice
“I was extremely impressed by the performance of the entire staff and have truly never received such prompt and courteous attention at a conference. The facilities were beautiful, the food terrific, all in a setting that was breathtaking. I have received glowing remarks from everyone who participated. Morale is up 200%!”.
Trouble Free
“Please accept my appreciation for the exceptional services provided by you and your staff in support of Forces Command. The Nature Place is the ideal site for this exciting and meaningful event, for it provides the optimum atmosphere for focusing on the important topic of character and leadership development. The comfortable quarters, delicious food and gorgeous setting only serve to enhance the experience for all of us in attendance. However, it is your staff’s obvious commitment to customer service and their flexibility that make the week’s session such a trouble free and valuable event.”
Our week in the Rockies simply wouldn't have been nearly as successful anywhere other than The Nature Place. We can't rave enough about your hospitality (and food!), and the facilities were even better than we thought possible.
Supportive
“Not only is this a beautiful facility, with GREAT FOOD, the best we have seen in 10 years, but you are kind, loving, supportive people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart”.
“The purpose of our workshops was to develop and cement relationships. We were able to do this because of the isolation from social distraction, the relaxed atmosphere, and the comfortable, well-planned programs and meeting areas.”
Gorgeous
“The Nature Place turned out to be so perfect. And to think I had worried a bit after making my decision last fall — was it ‘spectacular’ enough to satisfy?’ What we enjoyed of course in this lovely setting was more simple than spectacular… Plus, an unbelievably gifted staff to help us see and appreciate more fully the beauty around us (and helping us climb those gorgeous Witcher rocks). Add to that the remoteness and privacy of the place to enjoy each other!”
