Have been here a…read morehandful of times as I dont own my own bow and arrow set, so have only gotten to go a few times with my Girl scouts when my co-leader can bring the gear. It is an open outdoor range with a multitude of targets to shoot at. You do need a colorado wildlife pass to come and park. There is a reservoir you can walk around nearby and not sure what else is in the area. They do typically run loveland girl scout day camp here. My daughter has only done that once so I am not super familiar with the area. It is really nice to have this outdoor sport super available and local to our area and community.

If you do like to shoot targets you are best off bringing your own as well as some long pointy things to hang them.

My friend and I came here to shoot some arrows for fun. Neither of us do this regularly and needed…read moreto rent equipment. Rentals for both of us along with a 2-hour slot on the indoor range was about $40. SUPER reasonably priced. While I would prefer an outdoor range, I enjoyed our time here. This was my second time shooting a traditional bow and I had a blast. I did, however, have a HORRIBLE bruise on my arm after our time there. I used the arm guard provided with our rental, but it was a soft guard. Now, I know I need to use a hard guard every time I do archery. I would, absolutely, go back for another session. Archery is so much fun and easy to learn for beginners. If you have ever been curious, this is a great place to try your luck at a new hobby.

Love that they have a section for up to 40 yard distance if you are interested in trying. Rack for putting your bags/cases away and many picnic tables for rest, if needed between sets. We came on a hot summer day and the only thing was that most of the indoor range is not temperature controlled, no AC (only in the bathrooms did I feel the AC), no fan that's for use on the open side of the range. I probably could have gone and asked if we could turn on the fan on the closed half of the range but the employees were extremely busy with their customers on getting their compound bow ready for hunting season. I'd probably come back again when the weather cools down if I want to practice on a Sunday... overall a great spot but trying to stay cooler and not overheat during the Summer.

My spouse is getting into archery and we bought a finish-it-yourself longbow for his birthday from…read morea different retailer online. He needed some arrows and so we went to Archery Depot because they're basically next door and a specialty archery store sounded great. We were not disappointed! The owners are super friendly, knowledgeable, willing to shoot the breeze, answer questions, and generally make you feel welcome; the shop dog helps with the welcoming feel as well. They have a small, indoor shooting range as well which they'll let you use for a small fee with your own equipment or for free if you're testing out equipment you're looking to buy. If they don't have what you want/need, they'll order it for you (pay in advance because...obviously) and they'll get it within 2 business days. My spouse ended up buying some custom arrows from the shop, which he got custom fletched, and they told him that the other sporting goods store he went to in order to have his draw weight measured it wrong by 10lbs! They also put a notch on his bowstring for him for free and helped him shorten his string, which apparently came too long for his bow. The excellent customer service experience provided by Archery Depot would make me recommend them to anyone in need of archery supplies.

We held another family reunion here to commemorate the one we had 20 years ago. I'm going to share…read moremy experience and both positive and negative in hopes it's helpful info for other families planning a similar event. BOOKING AND RESERVATION PROCESS: 2 stars My brother booked and placed a substantial deposit over 2 years ago on a large reunion cabin and the adjacent large cabin. As the event neared, we met virtually with camp hosts who informed us that they can't guarantee we get the cabins we reserved. They'll "try," they said, but can't guarantee we'll get those adjacent cabins. Our only theory is the Y reserves the right to bump outsiders should an esteemed member want what we reserved. It all started off on a wrong foot, and combined with the impossible act of reserving additional cabins or rooms on April 1, when reservations open to the general public, it started to feel risky and like we made a bad choice. To me, it seems a reasonable add-on to the reunion booking process to allow us to book additional cabins in advance so we can find rooms for all family. Within minutes at 8:00 am on April 1, small cabins and most lodge rooms were snagged up. They also said we couldn't access the cabins until after 6 pm on arrival day. That meant we had to figure out a way to keep all of our food we purchased chilled until we could put it in our cabin's refrigerator. As it turned out, we did get the cabins we reserved/requested AND they were ready far earlier than our 5 pm arrival time. Total experience? Nerve-wracking. CABINS/ACCOMMODATIONS - 2 stars I get it - lots of large groups use this place. All the more reason to maintain them in a manner that is safe & comfortable for all. We had two sofas, one of which was unusable and a number of small issues that were eventually addressed. THE GOOD/POSITIVE: So much for youngsters to do, but be prepared to spend a lot of time driving kids back and forth to each activity. My "sense" was kids got to try a few new things, like horseback riding and archery, for an add-on fee. Good hiking trails. Downtown Estes (and an additional amusement park), are a short drive away in downtown Estes. Snack shop and little store on campus. All in all, maybe it's my age getting the best of me but I didn't find the accommodations very comfortable- just the 2 aforementioned couches, 1 of which was broken. All other chairs are wooden. So there's a point, as an adult, when the beauty of the mountains starts to wear thin when you're not as comfortable as you'd like to be. Bottom line? Go into it prepared. Try out a smaller cabin before opting to book for a huge reunion to make sure it will fit your family's needs. I wish they were a bit more accommodating and generous with furniture, etc., in their lodging. If you like Rustic, you'll love it here.

The staff here is wonderful and there is even the Rustic Cafe inside the registration building to grab a quick bite all day. The YMCA backs up to Rocky Mountain National Park and the entire place is easy to navigate. If you want something out of the ordinary but in-line with history, check out the Lula W Dorsey museum which is also on campus and see all the history the Y has had to offer over the last 100+ years! This is a great place to unwind and really connect with nature. If you have ever heard of shrinyoku (forest bathing), this is a place to do it. Wildlife will hang around here at all times of the morning and later in the evening too. Most of all experience it all and make memories!
