    GROUP FAQS

    • A group is considered to be someone who is interested in booking hotel-style lodging and private meeting space or a large retreat cabin. There are 6- and 8- bedroom cabins available. Estes Park Center also offers the historic Ranch House cabin and 17-bedroom Pattie Hyde Barclay cabin. To reserve smaller cabins, please call our Central Reservations Department at 888-613-9622.

    • If you are staying in lodge rooms, you are required to be on a meal plan. However, if you are staying in a retreat cabin, you are not required to be on a meal plan.

      Our meal plan consists of at least 2 meals per day in our cafeteria-style dining hall. All members of your group will need to be on the same meal plan.

    • A small but mighty team of housekeepers is responsible for cleaning 500 lodge rooms and more than 200 cabins on any given day. In order to provide groups with the best experience, it can take time to clean accommodations.

      Guests are welcome to check-in once rooms are cleaned; however, YMCA of the Rockies does not guarantee check-in until 6:00 PM on the day of arrival and check out is 10:00 AM on the day of departure.

For guests arriving later, the Administration Building’s Front Desk staff are available 24 hours a day.
