• Camp Chief Ouray Scholarships
  • Each summer, Camp Chief Ouray teaches thousands of kids how to learn, work and play together while we help develop our core values of caring, honesty, respect responsibility and faith.  Your investment will create memories for these children that will influence their lives forever.
• Military, Pastor and Foster Family Scholarships
  • The stresses associated with military, foster and pastor family life can often lead to discord in the home.  For one incredible low rate, these families can enjoy a weekend at our facilities with meals and activities included.  Donations to this worthwhile program allow us to provide a period of respite and reconnection to families who need and deserve a time of bonding and renewal.
• Day Camp Scholarships
  • Estes Park Center and Snow Mountain Ranch both offer high-quality, exciting day camps.  Children participate in a myriad of activities all while under the care of specially-trained staff who bring attention to the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith.  More than 1/3 of the children participating rely on scholarships to attend.  Your support allows them to continue their involvement in these important camp experiences.
• Quality Child Care Scholarships
  • Bennett Preschool, on the grounds of Estes Park Center, is a Qualistar rated, State of Colorado licensed childcare program providing preschool to more than 20 kids, ranging from 2 1/2 to 5 years old.  Amidst the natural beauty of their location, children learn academics, socialization and environmental education.  While the tuition fees remain comparatively low, the cost of high-quality childcare is still out of reach for many parents and your donation ensures safe and affordable childcare for all.
