Summit Gap Program - Spring 2026

YMCA OF THE ROCKIES • Granby, CO

5d • $15 - $15 • Onsite

About The Position

Do you feel like you’re in an “in-between” stage of life? Are you wanting to get away from the noise of life and immerse yourself in a time of rest and spiritual reflection? Looking forward to spending a season in the beautiful Colorado Rockies? Let the Summit Gap Program take you to new heights!
The Summit Gap Program at Snow Mountain Ranch is a unique 10-week experience designed to help young adults (ages 18-25) find their place, find their purpose, and find their peace. While the program will provide you with meaningful seasonal work, its true heart lies in fostering personal and spiritual growth. Through guided reflection, intentional community, and a connection to the quiet wisdom of creation, you will have the space to explore your goals, deepen your faith, and listen to your own inner guidance. This is an opportunity to cultivate a rhythm of rest, form lasting bonds in a safe and supportive group of people your age, and find a renewed sense of direction for your journey ahead.
The Summit Gap Program is located at YMCA of the Rockies’ Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby, Colorado, a 5000-acre campus at an elevation of 8750 ft, nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. We are located about 15 minutes away from local mountain towns and ski resorts, 30 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, and 90 minutes from the Denver metropolitan area.
By the end of your Summit Gap Program, you will not have completed a 10-week program; you will have experienced a season of transformation. You will leave with a clearer sense of purpose, renewed confidence, and a deeper connection to your faith, your values, and the natural world around you.
Through firsthand work, intentional reflection, and authentic community, you will discover new strengths, lifelong friendships, and practical skills that prepare you for whatever comes next, whether it is school, career, or continued service.
Most importantly, you will leave the mountains with a grounded sense of peace, a vision for your next step, and the knowledge that you are capable of more than you imagined.
Come to the YMCA of the Rockies at Snow Mountain Ranch for a season and leave with direction for a lifetime.
