ABOUT ALTA CHILDREN'S CENTER

Using nature right outside the backdoor as a springboard for environmental education, we will connect children to what they love about nature. We stroke 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, writing the President about our National Forests, and so much more. Our curriculum will focus on nature education and on what is so great about the Wasatch!

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to ensure that our summer camp gives children the opportunity to learn and be happy in the outdoors

WHAT TO BRING?

Each child must bring: Sunscreen, hat/baseball cap, and sturdy hiking shoes.

A complimentary water bottle will be provided to each child. We recommend this hydration pack.

MEALS:

We provide breakfast, lunch, and a late afternoon snack!
Here at Alta Children's Center, we know the importance of feeding our children healthy and nutritious food, which is why we strive to purchase organic and GMO free products whenever possible.  We also emphasize whole grains and a large variety of fruits and vegetables. We avoid highly processed foods and make our snacks from scratch using real ingredients.

Why organic? Growing organically boosts key nutrients in food such as Omega 3’s as well as antioxidants, and organic produce has virtually no harmful pesticide resudues. It is also much friendlier to the environment to grow organically. We choose to serve organic food for all these reasons!

Please highlight food allergies and/or sensitivities during registration.
