Using nature right outside our backdoor as a springboard for environmental education, we will connect children to what they love about nature. We inspire a love for nature to spark their curiosity and use that to teach them about the mountains we love and live in!
At camp the children will be hiking, inventing using recycled materials, building solar ovens, learning about the flowers and bugs at Alta, journaling, learning about our watershed, creating art, and so much more. Our curriculum will focus on nature education and on what is so great about the Wasatch!

Responsible Stewardship: Teach campers the importance of responsible environmental stewardship, emphasizing practices such as recycling, conserving resources, and leaving no trace when exploring nature.

CLIENT REVIEWS & FEEDBACK
Review from Google: "My son has attended many camps in and around Salt Lake City. His disposition for calm and quiet adventure led me to this wonderful camp. This is the first camp that he has not had any anxiety at all! The counselors are upbeat and positive. They communicate with pictures throughout the day, and i get to see a slice of happiness my son experiences while I am at work. The check in and check out is organized and secure. He is fed breakfast and lunch that he loves (extended day). Thank you for being amazing!"
