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!
Great Salt Lake Discoveries (4th & 5th Grade) with NHMU
The Great Salt Lake is ours to discover! From birding in Farmington Bay to swimming with brine shrimp at Antelope Island, each day we will go on an outdoor field trip to explore Great Salt Lake’s unique ecosystem. Along the way, we will practice science and art to learn about migratory birds, water quality, geology, and environmental stewardship. We are curious, adventurous, and love being outside. Drop off and pick up takes place at NHMU. Transportation to field trip locations is provided. No camp on Friday.
