Simply the Best Family Vacation!
My family started to visit the YMCA of the Rockies at Estes Park in 1946. This place is NOT the Ritz and you will not have luxury rooms. Although some of the newer accommendations are pretty darned close! If you are looking for a clean, wholesome family spot where it is still cool to go to daycamp and mention God (yes, YMCA still has Christ in its name)and ride a horse and cook dinner in your cabin, then this is your place. There are mini golf, indoor swimming, campfires, hikes, a great new Arts and Crarfts Center, climbing and ropes course and lots more. If you can get your pre-K thru teens into the daycamps (requires advanced reservations) they will have memories that will last forever. The onsite Dorsey Museum is one the best for local mountain history. If you can stay in a cabin, do. It will be amazing how your family comes together at this place.
