Nordic Center - YMCA of the Rockies — Hotel in Granby

The staff, from the Director, to the Camp Counselors, to the Nurse, don’t read or follow any instructions from parents or doctors regarding the children. They also don’t allow parent to speak to their children, despite what their Parent Handbook and Camp Policies state. My son, who has Aspergers and ADHD, was mistreated here at camp and the Director wouldn’t allow me to speak with him. I had to threaten to call the police to do a child welfare check in order to speak to him. When I was finally allowed to, he was sobbing hysterically and told me the the Camp Director wouldn’t allow him to call. They also didn’t give my child his prescribed medication, didn’t follow or even read any of his medical background or requirements, and were downright rude to me.

This place is so much fun and has lots of great activity’s including tie-dye, rock-wall climbing, archery and many others. I will never forget my summers there and all the amazing people I...

Our 11 year-old granddaughter had a bad cough and a fever when we picked her up after two weeks at camp. We took her to urgent care where she was diagnosed with pneumonia. The camp director confirmed that she had been treated by the nurse for fever on three days early in the week but her parents and/or my husband and I, her Colorado guardians, were never advised of her symptoms. Instead, this poor kid was forced to participate in all activities despite debilitating fatigue. Health and safety of campers should be a primary focus of the camping experience. We sent her to camp to have fun, not to suffer...
