Colorado Retreats - The first biennual church retreat to the Colorado mountains took place in August 1982 with 55 people ages 14 months to 74 years participating. These retreats were planned and led by Pastor and Mary Rolland. The 9th and final Bergen Colorado retreat was held from August 8-15, 1998, at Olive Ridge National Forest with approximately 60 people taking part.
458 people took part over 9 retreats involving 4 different sites for a total of 72 days.
Jesus said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” Mark 6:31 from Pastor Rolland October, 2009
