What is the YMCA of the Rockies?
YMCA of the Rockies, located near the town of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, is an ideal vacation, reunion, wedding and conference destination. The best part about this weekend getaway is how easy of a drive it is, even in the winter.
You can fill your day and nights at Estes Park Center YMCA with so many programs and activities. Every season brings fun and excitement for the entire family. Whether you are looking for adventure or a relaxing stroll, we can set you on your way.
That picture is of our home away from home for the weekend! It was fantastic and the views were breathtaking!
These pictures do not do this cabin justice. It was clean and well taken care of and that was awesome to walk into. So relaxing! The cabin has dishes for you to use during your stay as well as linings. This truly makes packing so much easier.
As I said there are a number of different options when looking at lodging including lodge rooms that are similar to hotels, large reunion cabins, yurts and 2-5 bedroom cabins.
The first morning we were there Teagan, Lauren and I went to the craft and design center and did some fun crafts and painting together. Teagan LOVES crafts so this was heaven to her. The craft and design center offers a wide variety of projects for kids ages 2 to 102! Check out the wood and leather crafts, the jewelry area with thousands of beads, ceramics, and tie dye. The prices of these activities range from $3.00-$75.00 per project. There is literally something for everyone and if Teagan had her way, we would have spent the whole day there! ha!
What an amazing place to visit. I love how they have a ton of activities to do with the kids. Archery and roller skating look like a total blast. I haven't done either of those in a long time. I'm glad you all had fun.
I have Visited the YMCA in my town, but I do not think we have a place to stay as nice as this one! Your room is gorgeous and would be a great place for me and my family to take a vacation. It sure looks beautiful in Colorado!
Great post – one of our favorite places to visit in Colorado!
I'm amazed! The Y's near me are nothing like this at all, not that they aren't great, but not a destination place! So many really fun things and so beautiful I must keep this in mind!
I have never been to a YMCA before. I so need to check my local one out sometime soon. This one looks like fun.
I never knew you could stay at a YMCA like this (at least not around here) but this looks amazing. So many fun things to do and such a beautiful place.
The scenery is gorgeous. I can only imagine how beautiful so wedding there would be. Looks like you had lots of fun!
I had no idea YMCA had places like this. It looks like a "family camp" weekend.
Looks like you all had a great time! And that is an absolutely gorgeous view. What a beautiful place to stay for the weekend.
We are in the South and I have never traveled in that area but would love to. My husband was in Denver before I was int he picture. Lovely pictures and post.
Nice article. We have been to the YMCA of the Rockies Estes Park several times and love it there.
