There are plenty of clubs and organizations in Estes Park if you’d like to get more involved in our local community.
Because many people in Estes Park are very community-minded, you can find lots of ways to get involved.
Here is a sampling of community groups:
Rotary Club of Estes Park (“Noon Rotary”)
This is a service-oriented club that is very active, and offers literally hundreds of ways to get involved, from the annual Estes Park Duck Race to charity golf tournaments to civic improvement projects.
Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary Club
Yep, Rotary is so popular here that we have three Estes Park clubs! Like the other clubs, this is a service-oriented organization that funds scholarships and grants for local students and organizations. They sponsor the Labor Day Arts and Crafts Fair and Autumn Gold Festival.
Longs Peak Rotary Club (“Evening Rotary”)
The newest of Estes Park’s Rotary Clubs, Longs Peak Rotary Club sponsors “Mister Estes Park,” a tongue-in-cheek beauty pageant featuring local community leaders.

Please contact us if you would like to be included in our Estes Park clubs and organizations list.
I would like to see a club for single, divorced, widowed individuals of Estes Park. As beautiful as it is, Estes and surrounding areas can be a very lonely place for people alone. It would be nice for people to meet and potentially form lasting relationships. That intern is healthy for the community and good role models for our children. This would be a great site to communicate, schedule events and chat in general.
I agree where and when do we meet
Could you add the Estes Park Genealogical Society as a club/organization? The website is https://estesparkgenealogicalsociety.weebly.com.
Thanks for the suggestion, Bob! It’s been added.
