We often describe our rootedness and community involvement through staff being active in what they are passionate about while also finding ways to give back in a meaningful way to our community - the community where we live, thrive, and serve.

We are located in Fruita, Colorado at the base of the Colorado National Monument - we think it is one of the natural wonders of the world. Many of our teammates join our community because of the complimentary outdoor sports, adventures, and distinctive four seasons we all enjoy here. Whether your passion includes rescue dogs, white water rafting, hiking, or painting, this community offers it! Finally, we would be remiss to not mention our finer qualities too, like the area school district, Colorado Mesa University, concerts and amazing outdoor venues, fine dining, and so much more.
