Come and take the road less traveled to Camp on the Boulder, a United Methodist camp & retreat center located in the beautiful mountains of south-central Montana. The Camp was founded in 1957 and provides a unique opportunity for retreat. Situated on 66 acres on the Boulder River amidst Montana’s Absaroka Mountain Range, we invite you to experience our hospitality.
COB opens Memorial Day weekend and hosts guests through September. Dates before and after these times will be considered. Camp on the Boulder can accommodate groups of 5 to over 300 in lodges, dormitories, and small cabins. Our delicious all-you-can-eat buffets are served in the Dunn Dining Hall. We also offer meeting space, worship space, a craft cabin, a registered Frisbee Golf Course and other recreational opportunities. We are surrounded by forest and wilderness which offers lots of hiking, fishing, biking and other outdoor activities.
The property which is now the Camp, started as a guest ranch known as “Hell’s Canyon Ranch”. Most of the original buildings dating from before 1918 are still in use today. Numerous additions and updates have graced the surroundings of Camp on the Boulder since it became a church camp. Most of our sleeping facilities (except for the cabins) have shared bathrooms – no running across Camp in the middle of the night. WiFi is available at Camp, but there is no service for cell phones. You can really get away and enjoy the beauty of God’s country.
