Awful customer service. I signed up for a membership in order to get a discount on childcare and…read morecamps. Per their website (see picture), the Y starter membership provides a camp discount. I paid upfront for an annual membership ($400+) only to realize later that I was not getting the discount. When I asked why, they said the child needs to be a member. If that's the case, WHY is that not stated anywhere on the website or registration materials? I tried to get a refund and the staff refuse to do anything. Incredibly frustrated that I'm out over $400 with nothing to show for it as I never use any Y services, personally.

The class price was $75 and covered instruction, materials, Mimosas, and delicious brunch fare. I opted to attend solo and was lucky enough to make a few crafting pals during the class.

A woman-owned business and keeping our community growing and working together to make beautiful things. Sign me up again and again!!

We got to use sticks instead of dowels and there was brunch served. Brunch included hard-boiled eggs, coffee, fruits and a quiche. There was trendy/cool music playing in the background and the space was nice because there were lots of arts-and-crafts tools laying all around. My only objection is how expensive the class is. This place hosts all kinds of different arts and crafts events for both adults and kids.

Our group reserved canoes a couple weeks out to do a training for a Boundary Waters expedition…read more The night before our reservation, they emailed informing us the reservation was cancelled, because the person who registered was a minor (17). So we got an adult to place the reservation on what appears to be their we portal. Had to make the reservation an hour earlier, which caused several folk to miss it as they were still at work. But turns out they are the real winners. Because those of us who went over early just got to talk to the manager telling us that they close at 4:00 and there are no canoes, and the reservation clearly was not with them. Who was it with? "Colorado Watersports"... well that is us, no reservation showed on their system, so they demanded to know WHO we made the reservation with, who did we talk to... https://www.coloradowatersports.com/ They claim to have no control over the web site. It lets me make a similar reservation for tomorrow. From which I conclude you should never make reservations with that web site as it is not for rentals at Colorado Watersports at Chatfield. Note: they made no move to get a canoe as they don't want canoes going out that late. Literally all the employees were just sitting around doing nothing except try to prove we don't have a reservation. Clearly they did not want our business. They did not provide any canoes as promissed. Do yourself a favor, look elsewhere.

We booked our trip beginning of 2022-ish when they were running som specials on 2 and 3 day trips…read more I gave the information to my girl scouts and had a couple that wanted to go. I was not initially supposed to be the adult going with. I have a fear of bigger and faster rapids....... However stuff happened and it ended up being me. From the beginning they were easy to work with. I had made a tentative reservation online but we didn't have quite enough people. However our trip was early in the season. I called after a couple of days to see if they thought we would be a go. They opted to run the trip for us since we were early season. They did keep it up for others to potentially join but no others did. Which is unfortunate. Our experience was great! They sent plenty of email communications as it got closer including asking about dietary needs and then reminders. When we arrived we got there an hour early as instructed in the email. They checked us in. Got us a dry bag and our tokens for getting the wet suit. We went and packed our dry bags. And then picked up our wet suits and went to the bathrooms to change. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. The wet suits dont have the arms and neck so you would want to wear a non cotton shirt underneath or be sure to wear a lot of sunscreen (if you are renting a wet suit. We were early season and it was recommended to us) Turbo, the driver came out to chat with us as we were waiting and gave a pep talk. Through our chat he had found out I was nervous. Appreciated the pep talk. Our guides, Kat and Gregg were professional and knowledgable about rafting. Kat shared quite a bit of some of the cool history of the area. Gregg really try to engage my quiet and introverted girls. Being that we were doing a 2 day trip there was food involved. We had 3 of us who have celiacs and then one who is also vegan and one who is also vegetarian. They were able to accomodate our needs with really yummy, delicious and filling food. Gregg and Kat prepared all our meals. Honestly we all felt a little bad we are used to being doers. It was weird to have someone else doing all the work. But they did a great job and the food was yummy and satisfying! They also had some desert available at times and hot drinks. Was so thankful that they did such a good job with the food. Sometimes places can't get it right when you have a gluten free and vegan combo. That was not the case here. They did a great job!! Our camping area was lovely. There was a little bit of hiking available. But they also brought some games that we played for a bit. It was nice and relaxing. The next day going through the canyon was definitely a lot of fun. As with most companies they do take some pics of your ride, if you want pics be sure to stop back by the front desk after your experience. You wont be sorry this is a great company.

I just attended the Denver camp, and for the most part I had no complaints and the experience was…read morewhat I expected camp! What I didn't expect is that by signing up for camp you were signing up for cold, hard food. Don't get me wrong and think that I was expecting some gourmet meals or something, but if you serve me a hamburger patty or a baked potato, it should at least be warm enough to melt the cheese a little. Nope. It literally was a cold hard piece of food. Not sure why the didn't give a care at all, but the literally were serving anything. Im still trying to figure out what the $600 went towards. They served the bottom of the barrel for liquor and drinks. Besides the food, alcohol, and the cabin situation, camp was amazing and an experience to remember. I would not risk it again after that food mess though. Also don't spend money on the extra solo cabin. They didn't even bother to tell us that you don't have a bathroom and that you will have to take a hike in the freezing cold every time you want to use it or shower. The large bunks are attached to the bathrooms.

I am planning to do some drawing and possibly more painting over the Summer. They offer kids classes too. We used water colors as the base today and she started by teaching several techniques, which was incredibly helpful once we started our abstract pieces. We also used pastels on top, which I thought added a really cool texture to my work. The teacher made each part seem so simple, everyone in the class was able to make something really beautiful. So much fun! Go check it out.

Being that the event was on a Saturday the parking lot was relatively empty so I didn't have to find street parking, but I did notice many of my classmates found street parking. No one complained do it must have been easy. The class was small and intimate with 8 of us present. The instructor Karin introduced us to the Art Students League of Denver, the offerings, and some history. We went around the room and discussed everyone's level of experience and interests. She really listened and worked to tailor our experience based on our responses. Each seat was set up with the materials we needed and we started off with introductory stitches. After an hour we focused on our Art piece and near the end of class picked up remaining supplies to finish our work at home. 10 mins before leaving we all did stretching exercises and cleaned up the room. I'd recommend attending if others are interested in learning something new or expanding their skill set.
