Add to that the incredible amount of custom 3D-printed minis & props & souvenirs that each week of camp brings, and you've got a stunning newcomer on the local summer camp scene!! FYI, the word is that they're making plans to revisit this same concept for adults too, so don't you worry none, neighbors! The Circle of Everwyr might call you to join your fellow heroes soon, too!

I went last year as a camper and it was not fun. my counselors were gone almost every day and the…read moreother counselors had to sub in and take care of us. one of the counselors (I had 2 in my cabin) was super uptight and rude towards all the girls in my cabin. for example she yelled at my friend for leaving her bunk light on on accident. she was very unsupportive and the counselors seemed to care more about hanging out with each other than taking care of us. I didn't feel comfortable and happy in my cabin and was actually waiting to go home at the end. it says on the website that you can see your friends from other cabins and sit with them at mealtime, but I was barely allowed to go talk to them real quick then come back to my table. you can see them if you somehow tell them to come to the same daily activity as you. but the worst part was one rainy day we were playing bingo inside and I guess my counselors got bored because they were telling me a bunch of different times that certain squares had been called, so that I would get a failed bingo. I stood up and said bingo and obviously it wasn't valid so I just got humiliated while they sat there giggling. it was unnecessary and cruel and I definitely don't recommend this camp to anyone.

BULLYING AND ASSAULT AT CAMP…read more 1 star for activities and food Edit- after a review by the YMCA director in response to my complaint and this review below, they found that "no paperwork existed for this incident" which is very strange. Since then we have connected with the family of the boy who stepped in to help my son and they confirmed this incident. I am shocked that paperwork disappeared but frankly, not surprised... Is this really who you'd trust your child to? And it is pretty expensive as far as camps go... My 10 year-old son attended this camp and, on the way home, told us about his week. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to hear that he was repeatedly bullied by his cabin mates but also his counselor, "Nebula", who seemed to have it out for him. She refused to sign his memento on the last day, told him he couldn't participate in the talent show, berated him at mealtimes, and found fault in everything he did. My kid isn't perfect, but he's friendly, smart, empathetic, and makes friends easily. To make matters worse , he was also physically assaulted by another camper, punched in the face, and bitten in the leg. Another camper intervened (we have confirmation of events from this camper and his family!) and also got punched (This has now been verified by 3 campers!). The kid who assaulted them both didn't get sent home and no one contacted us to let us know of this but eventually, the counselor did intervene, apparently, so there is a record of this at the camp. I'm so frustrated that this was his first camp experience and immediately contacted the camp director, who is addressing this, but I feel that others should be warned. My son says the camp activities were great, but the people were just awful. This is a shocking review from a super positive child, and I feel bad that he spent a week in this toxic environment. If you are thinking you might want to send your child to YMCA Camp Collins, I'd seriously reconsider.

The horses are amazing and well taken care of, and there are lessons, horses and options for every age, discipline, experience, and comfortability. Miss Pam is so incredibly kind and a wonderful instructor- my lesson day is my favorite day of the week, and the highlight of my week every time. I highly recommend Son Rise to anyone wanting to start riding!

** Abbreviated version of the review**…read more They have you sign a waiver and if your child gets hurt they do not have any protocols on how to tend to the hurt child. They will ignore a child with a potentially serious spinal injury. The long version: We had a child's 11th birthday party at this establishment on 6/23/23. We had three 11 year olds and one 9 year old. The 9 year old is very small for his age. He wears 7 year old clothing. And weighs 60 pounds. When dismounting the horse the teacher (Monica) was standing at the horse to assist him down. She saw he was scared and holding on to the saddle because he didn't want to fall. She pried his hands off the saddle and then didn't catch him or ease the fall. Even though she was standing there. Our 9 yo landed with his knees locked and immediately started crying and grabbing his back saying "My back! My back!" At which point Monica completely ignored him and his cries. As I rushed to asses the situation since I was standing 2 feet from where everything happened and I witnessed it all. Monica carried on with the next horse. The next horse was the bday girl, and our daughter. She asked Monica what happened to her brother? To which Monica replied: "He'll be fine!" In the meantime the 9 year old had had the wind knocked out of him and was having a hard time breathing and still holding his lower back and crying. Neither Monica or Pamela who was outside the riding area and didn't have a full view came to him/us or assisted him/us. They *never* checked on him or checked in with him. They didn't even acknowledge a child got hurt. We were so busy scrambling to asses his injury, while checking urgent care hours, and seeing if he could calm down and breathe we were there for another 20-30 mins after. They had plenty of time to check in with us and our son. They completely ignored the issue. When we were on our way out Pam said "Well he looks like he's walking fine!" We left and texted Son Rise Ranch the next day letting Pam know our son was doing ok but that we wanted to discuss the incident with her and that we were disappointed that the teachers entrusted with his safety didn't seem to care that he got hurt. She said oh Monica wanted to make sure all the kids got off the horse safely. Again, Monica *never* even acknowledged the child that landed started crying and grabbed his back and cried "My back! My back!" We initially had several text messages with Pam. She was asking if we'd still like a call, which we said yes. We didn't hear from Pam again. If you want a place that cares about your child when they get hurt, please take your child elsewhere. If we hadn't been there to rush to our child, they would've ignored him with a potentially serious spinal injury.

The bathrooms are always clean and once you figure out what is the best time for you to attend, you can get in an easy groove and attend on a regular basis without any hassle there's plenty of room to do whatever you wanna do here lots of space and lots of options. The pool is exceptional. The hot tub is great. The exercise areas are amazing and the indoor walking trail is really amazing in the winter if you want to stretch out and stay dry, we use it all year because my husband is blind and it's the safest place for him to walk. We really appreciate all the amenities here they are very handicap friendly and the staff is exceptional. We love coming here

No one's standing by the entrance, so anyone can walk onto the property and snag a child. My son went there for a while, and since he needed so much one-on-one attention, they kicked him out.
