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.

Yoga & Mindfulness Summer Camps

Randi Jo’s Yoga for Kids camps teaches patience, imagination, focus, flexibility, balance, and strength. Throughout the summer camp, children participate in crafts, enjoy healthy snacks, and engage in outdoor play. They learn to regulate their energy levels through exercises and breath work, which can be applied anywhere and everywhere.

The Summit Community Gardens have finalized plans for a major upgrade project to their children's garden. With the addition of an outdoor classroom, play area, imagination land and a growing area, the idea is to more effectively utilize space and make it more fun for the children who attend their garden camps.

Summit Community Gardens

Registration opens March 1.

Join them this summer at their sell-out camps in the Garden! Their beautiful space nestled beneath the mountains provides the perfect environment for outdoor exploration. With eight different themes, there’s something for everyone, from environmental sustainability to arts & culture to culinary adventures. Each week is packed with hands-on activities: tending the garden, learning about food growth, engaging in nature-based arts and crafts, enjoying free play outside, and preparing delicious, plant-forward recipes in their garden cooking experiences.

No matter your child’s interests, there’s a camp perfectly suited for them. It’s a good idea to stay ahead of the game and keep an eye on your preferred options, as some camps may not have announced their 2024 summer details yet, and spots tend to fill up quickly once registration opens.
