Who We Are

our vision

A world that finds God in all things.

our mission

Creatio guides all people to encounter the beauty of creation and the Creator. We lead transformative experiences to restore relationships with ourselves, with others, with nature, and fundamentally with God.

Our Story

Creatio Missionary Guides are full time employees who fundraise their own salaries so they can dedicate themselves to Creatio's mission year-round while keeping trip prices low so they are accessible to all. Our missionaries are trained as professional outdoor guides and have extensive experience leading adventure trips, facilitating experiential education, and directing the spiritual programing component of our courses. Please pray for our missionaries!

Ashley Piche Executive Director I am Ashley, I am super humbled and grateful to be serving Creatio’s mission, and I would love to meet you.  I moved to Colorado from Washington, DC in 2015 to be closer to the mountains, and I converted to Catholicism in 2019 because the mountains drew me closer to God.

Ryan Brady Missionary Guide

Christ has always called me on by way of adventure and beauty, whether through my work as a photographer or here to Creatio, and it’s an incredible blessing to share that with you as a Missionary Guide. We live in an enchanted, awe-inspiring world, and our God asks nothing less than for us to respond in kind.

Olivia Volk Missionary Guide I have always been filled with zeal for God’s kingdom. This passion led me to study Theology in college and then led me here to serve as a Missionary for Creatio! My deepest encounters with God are always in the mountains and I want to share that experience with others. Creation points us directly to the Creator. Support Olivia

Hannah Crites Operations Manager I was hiking as soon as I knew how to walk. There are so many big and little things to enjoy while meeting the Creator in creation–from observing the smallest wildflower on the trail to taking in a view that I spent hours anticipating while summiting.

Jayden Jones Missionary Guide Hi there, I’m Jayden! The Lord called my heart to Creatio as surely and clearly as He calls mountain goats to cliffs and edges of jagged peaks. The universal call of Beauty resounds in the soul, a visceral cry that demands a response. As a Missionary Guide, I love accompanying people as the Lord pursues them through Beauty. Support Jayden
