From Winterfest Weekends and Nordic Center events to summertime Artist-in-Residence Programs and fall festivals: There’s always something happening at YMCA of the Rockies! Be sure to check our Calendar of Events whenever you’re planning your day or your stay with us.
Every year Santa travels around the world to deliver presents. Join Dino and friends to celebrate with music and stories about Christmas.
Wake-up, open presents and join us at Schlessman Commons as we sing about reindeer and elves on this magical morning.
Join Dino as we explore the science of outer space. We’ll learn about our solar system; the differences between meteors, meteoroids and meteorites; eclipses, constellations, and more.
Join us for this free family event. Enjoy an unforgettable night of skating, dancing, and disco fever.
Join us for coffee, hot cocoa, and conversation with our General Manager at the Schlessman Family Camper Hub (west of the Nordic Center) at 10am on select Saturdays!
Visit with Santa on Saturdays at the Lula Dorsey Museum!
Dance the night away! Get ready for an out-of-this-world experience with DJ Alsum. Fun for all ages!
Snow Mountain Ranch is hosting indigenous pro skier and climate activist, Connor Ryan, in an interactive event that includes a film screening, ski opportunity and a keynote on January 3.

With Estes Park Center perfectly situated as a basecamp for Rocky Mountain National Park — and Snow Mountain Ranch on the doorstep of one of the top ski resorts in North America — there are plenty of seasonal attractions for you to explore throughout the year.
We carefully consider all special lodging requests, but we are unable to guarantee specific cabins or lodge rooms, the exact location of your accommodations, or fireplace type (wood vs. gas).
Cell service varies. At Estes Park Center AT&T/ T-Mobile have strong service. At Snow Mountain Ranch, Verizon has the best service. There is little-to-no cell service in Rocky Mountain National Park.
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.
Take a peek around our location, or focus in and learn more about one of our two unique locations.
