What to expect

Welcome to YMCA of the Rockies! We are glad you are joining us!

YMCA of the Rockies is in its first stage of reopening after the COVID-19 crisis and we are looking forward to sharing our wide-open spaces, mountain views and fresh air with you! For your health and safety, we are making decisions about our operations based on our local and state health agency orders and guidelines. As a result, the guest experience at YMCA of the Rockies will be a little different this year.

As the COVID-19 situation develops and new recommendations and health orders are implemented, our processes and procedures are also changing in response. We are working hard to make sure your stay here is restful, relaxing and safe. Please be patient with us as we adjust to the new way of doing things.

Here is what you can expect as of May 22, 2020.

Guest Safety Guidelines and Practices

Consistent with Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment Public Health Order 20-28 Safer at Home, YMCA of the Rockies is committed to protecting the health of our staff and our guests.

Current orders require the use of face coverings inside any business. This includes all buildings at Estes Park Center with the exception of your lodging unit. Please note: through June 10, the Town of Estes Park is also requiring face coverings outdoors within the downtown business district. Learn more

We also request guests follow appropriate social distancing practices, maintaining a six-foot distance from other guests and staff. Gatherings of more more than 10 people are prohibited.

YMCA of the Rockies staff are following social distancing requirements, wearing face coverings and gloves as mandated, telecommuting whenever possible, practicing appropriate personal hygiene, and passing a daily temperature and symptom assessment to ensure they remain home if sick.
