As many as six adults can sleep in a lodge room, and two adult breakfasts each day are included in the price.

YMCA of the Rockies is a non-profit group, so many of the activities offered at these locations are completely FREE. Some of the family-focused activities offered include miniature golf, hiking, games, and a pool and library on the grounds.

Day camps for children are available on the grounds. For children between the ages of 3 and 17, either half- or full-day programs are offered. This gives adults a chance to do their own thing in addition to spending some quality family time.
