There’s something special about time spent in the mountains. The pace slows. The air feels fresher. Conversations last longer. And the distractions of everyday life fade into the background.
YMCA Camp near Horsethief Reservoir isn’t just for kids — it’s for anyone looking to connect, explore, and recharge. With camps designed for families and special weekends just for women, YMCA Camp offers meaningful experiences that help you unplug, try new adventures, and create memories you’ll carry long after the weekend ends.
