YMCA Camp Collins

★★★★★Julie Davis

Sent my kid here every year multiple times. Tried other camps and this is the best.

My daughter goes here every year and she loves it. The kids and staff are so friendly to each other. The only downside is that they replaced the horses with mountain biking

My son went to Camp Collins for the last 2 years and will not be returning. This summer he was bullied for the whole week and this kid threw paint pigment powder up my sons nose during arts and crafts. This led to difficulty breathing and an ER visit when my son got home. He had pnuemonia most likely caused by the powder. Nobody called me to tell me this bullying was going on! I requested a partial refund due to my sons miserable time and medical bills, but nobody would return my calls or emails. Send your child at your own risk!!

BULLYING AND ASSAULT AT CAMP 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. 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 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.

I went to Camp Collins on a field trip with my science class, for 5 nights and 6 days. It was such an amazing experience that I'll never forget and always look back on, with such positive memories :) The cabins that we stayed in were very cute and sort of looked like hobbit holes! (we even had a bathroom build into the cabin) The food was surprisingly good, and instead of all of us individually lining up to get food with a tray, there were student helpers that would get bowels of the food and bring them over to the table we were sitting at. Then as a table we would pass the bowels of food around to one another. Most of the staff were really nice/helpful! Once you get assigned a cabin, you also get assigned a student leader, who basically chaperones your cabin. (the student leaders are highschool students) I got one of the best student leaders and she was SO cool!
