Start a new family tradition, Christmas in Colorado

(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 20, 2011 ) ESTES PARK, Colo. -- YMCA of the Rockies resort properties in Estes Park and Winter Park, Colorado have everything a family needs for a fun snow-filled holiday. Guests enjoy the comforts of home, such as a fully equipped kitchen and cozy living room, while staying in their own Colorado cabin.

Everyone can stay warm making homemade Christmas presents at the craft and design center, reading holiday stories at the library, or having cocoa and sÂ’mores by the fireplace. To keep the holiday calorie count in check thereÂ’s an indoor pool complete with waterslide and climbing wall, roller and ice skating rinks, athletic centers with volleyball and basketball courts, and miles of trails for hiking. At Snow Mountain Ranch, the Nordic Center provides equipment and lessons for cross-country skiers, snowshoers, and tubers of all ages. The family dog or cat doesnÂ’t have to miss out on the fun, since cabins and some Nordic trails are pet-friendly. There are also plenty of opportunities to dash through the snow aboard a horse-drawn sleigh provided by Sombrero Stables.

The program department will merrily take care of planning activities such as a holiday scavenger hunt, caroling, gingerbread house building, guided snow shoe hikes, and family movies. Worship services are held during Christmas and Christmas Eve with candles, carols, and exquisitely decorated chapels.

This year join the YMCA of the Rockies family and spend the holidays in ColoradoÂ’s winter wonderland.
