el refugio / the refuge El Refugio

Youth World is proud to own and operate a 350-acre retreat and training center less than an hour north of downtown Quito. El Refugio began offering programming for youth and adults in January of 2004.

El Refugio exists to be a training and retreat center, which facilitates a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ though nature and outdoor adventure. Currently we offer low ropes, trust and team building exercises, 2 high ropes elements, rappelling, horseback riding, camping facilities, miles of hiking trails, indoor sleeping facilities for overnight groups, food service options and more. As we continue to develop facilities and programs, we will be able to offer more and more options for our groups.
