Military Getaway
YMCA OF THE ROCKIES OFFERS GETAWAY FOR MILITARY FAMILIES
In nationwide partnership with the Armed Services YMCA the and Department of Defense Outreach Initiative, the YMCA of the Rockies will provide military families with free memberships to encourage youth and family strengthening and unity.
To support these families, the YMCA of the Rockies Estes Park Center and Snow Mountain Ranch are offering a military getaway where for $80 they receive two nights in a lodge room and meals for 2 adults and 2 children. Additional adults or children can be included for a minimal cost per day.
“The YMCA of the Rockies is happy to help meet the critical needs facing families of deployed military service members,” said Kent Meyer, President and CEO of the YMCA of the Rockies. “Families are the most affected when a loved one gets deployed, so we are deeply committed to providing them with the support they need.”
The YMCA of the Rockies has two locations: the Estes Park Center and Snow Mountain Ranch near Winter Park, Colorado. Both locations offer the specials to:
All interested families of joint deployed National Guard and Reserves of all military branches;
Families living in newly established Joint Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) bases;
Active Duty Independent Duty station personnel and their families; and
Relocated spouses and family members of deployed Active Duty personnel.
Hundreds of families have taken advantage of the getaway. “The YMCA has a long history of supporting military service members and their families – since the Civil War – so it was natural for us to join this national initiative,” said Meyer. “During this time of conflict, it is more important than ever that we continue to provide services and support to these families in the absence of a deployed spouse.”
