PARK CITY, Utah — Back by popular demand, we’re here once more to highlight the importance of enrolling in summer camps for 2024! Although we are in the midst of enjoying winter wonderland, it is actually time to start thinking about summer plans.
Park City boasts an array of incredible summer camps, but these coveted opportunities tend to be snapped up quickly. I’ve lost count of the times my husband and I set our alarms for 6 a.m., eager to secure coveted spots in sought-after camps like Young Riders or Camp Roger at the YMCA. With beads of sweat forming on my brow, I tirelessly refresh the page, determined to secure a place for our kids.
Yet, amidst the excitement and tension, there’s a profound satisfaction in knowing we’re ensuring our children remain mentally and physically engaged. These camps offer not just a break from routine but opportunities to craft cherished memories, hone new skills, and forge enduring friendships that will last a lifetime.
Here’s a thorough compilation of some of our favorite camps available in our area, but make sure to sign up below to be added to our email list — we will soon have a much longer list compiled and intend for it to be your go-to guide and one-stop shop for all 2024 summer camp information.
