The Y campus has so many exciting opportunities for movement and fun! To learn more about recreation opportunities available at the YMCA of the Rockies, visit their website here. Some require prior payment and booking through the YMCA website. NYC staff will be booking times for swimming and roller skating, to ensure everyone has a chance to go, although you are welcome to go at other times these facilities are open. You will be assigned a swimming time during recreation by district, and the skating rink will be reserved on two nights as a late evening activity, with 75 people able to go each evening. Other groups will be on the Y campus while we are there, so keep in mind that others will want to use the same equipment and facilities we will!
