YMCA Summer Overnight Camp

REGISTRATION FOR 2026 OPENS DECEMBER 1st, 2026!

Toss aside those cell phones and gaming systems and make way for time in Utah's Great Outdoors! Through residential summer camp programs, kids and teens have the opportunity to explore nature, become a community, develop confidence, gain independence, and home in on some important leadership skills!

We firmly believe that camping helps to teach self-reliance, a love for nature and the outdoors, and supports development of attitudes and practices that build character and leadership—all amidst the fun of campfires, games, traditions, and meaningful relationships! What could be better, right?

Our YMCA camp counselors are hand-picked because of their strong character and are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper. We offer two overnight camps in the Wasatch National Forest for your child to experience adventure and excitement. So, which one will it be?

EXCURSION CAMPS!

At the Y, we believe that every child deserves a chance to explore nature, build meaningful friendships, and develop essential life skills. Our dedicated and experienced trip leaders are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where campers can challenge themselves, gain confidence, and create memories that will last a lifetime. From thrilling activities like hiking, backpacking, and rock climbing, to team-building exercises and campfire storytelling, our programs are carefully crafted to provide a balanced mix of adventure and learning. Through exciting excursions and hands-on workshops, campers have the opportunity to discover new passions and unleash their fullest potential.

YMCA MILL HOLLOW

  

For over 60 years Mill Hollow has been THE environmental education center for Utah. YMCA Mill Hollow carries forward that rich tradition of summer camp: skits, songs, campfires, s’mores, arts and crafts, hiking, and so much more while campers connect with the natural sciences through outdoor education and exploration. During a 3 or 5 day adventure, campers (7-16 year olds) will explore by turning Utah’s mountain landscape into an outdoor laboratory where campers have the opportunity to experience the natural sciences while getting a little muddy, making new friends, and having a whole lot of fun.

 

YMCA CAMP ROGER

  

For the last 75 years at YMCA Camp Roger kids develop outdoor skills in a structured small group setting. The goal here is for our campers to grow in independence, responsibility, and confidence as they are guided through the camp experience by hand-picked and trained staff.  Each week’s theme is designed to captivate youth in new and exciting ways, with a different theme game every week and a story that makes each week unique in its own way! In addition to traditional camps, we offer specialty camps that allow campers to grow in areas such as leadership development and horseback riding!

 

BOLD & GOLD

Our Boys and Girls Outdoors Leadership Development program is our newest overnight options! Here teens are challenged to reach their highest potential while backpacking for 5 days and 4 nights through the Uinta National Forest! Here, hikers will experience nature up close and personal as they discover their own path. 

   
 

Water Safety Information:

The YMCA of Northern Utah takes all aspects of health and safety seriously. We have been working closely with the state of Utah to ensure the water provided at both of our residential camping sites is of the highest quality.

Both of our Camps are located on public land and draws its drinking water from springs at each site. To ensure coliform is below the required limits prior to anyone drinking from the system, water systems at both camps are tested by following the procedures outlined by the state's requirements. Additionally, the water system at both camps is tested each month to maintain quality. Should there be an issue with the system, the YMCA administrative team will aim to contact all relevant participants to update on the situation.

If you would prefer to speak to a representative from the YMCA about this topic, you can contact Ben Wittig at 385-269-7200.

 YMCA Resident Camp Programs operate under a Special Use Permit issued by the Heber-Kamas Ranger District on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest
