Summer Camps
We partner with the Natural History Museum of Utah and University of Utah Youth Education to offer three exciting and adventurous summer camps based on the science and ecology of Great Salt Lake!
Salty Science with University of Utah Youth Education
June 12-26, 2023
This camp is for boys and girls ages 9-11 only.
This camp is sold out for 2023.
Stay salty this summer in this field-based science camp! From investigating macroinvertebrates in City Creek to airboating on Farmington Bay, each day we will go on an outdoor field trip to explore the Great Salt Lake ecosystem. Along the way, we will practice science and art to learn about migratory birds, water quality, geology, and environmental stewardship. At the end of the week, campers will leave with an outdoor activity journal and brine shrimp hatch kit to continue their fieldwork at home! This is a partner camp with University of Utah Youth Education.
Camp runs from 9am-3pm daily. Campers should bring their own lunch and water from home.
