About Colorado Youth Outdoors

Colorado Youth Outdoors (CYO) operates the Swift Ponds outdoor recreation and education facility in Fort Collins, CO. Located at 4927 E County Road 36, this 220-acre site hosts a variety of community events and outdoor activities. While there isnt a fixed venue capacity published for general events, CYO generally does not host field-trip groups larger than 200 people. Venues within the Swift Ponds campus may use open outdoor spaces rather than a traditional fixed seating chart, and some ticket sellers provide generic seating visuals that do not reflect an official layout. Plan ahead to secure your seats or space when events are announced, and consider refreshing event details on the official pages as plans update.

Whether youre attending a fundraising derby, archery shoot, family fishing event, or a festive drive-thru display, youll find practical information about parking, directions, and nearby lodging and dining to help you get to the venue with ease. Fort Collins residents and visitors can rely on local transit options and nearby hotels for a comfortable trip to Swift Ponds.

Parking and access: The Swift Ponds site lists a front entrance on Kechter Road. While published parking capacity isnt specified, plan to arrive early for popular events and follow on-site signage for parking guidance. Directions and driving routes are available on the Colorado Youth Outdoors site, so you can map your trip in advance. Transit options exist in the Fort Collins area via Transfort and FLEX local services, though there isnt a dedicated CYO shuttle published publicly. If you rely on public transit, check schedules ahead of time to align with event times.

Nearby hotels and dining: For attendees coming from out of town, convenient lodging options include Hilton Fort Collins (near downtown and Colorado State University) and The Elizabeth Hotel in Old Town Fort Collins. These properties provide easy access to Fort Collins attractions after events at Swift Ponds.
