WHICH CAMP IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

TRADITIONAL CAMP

Ages 5-12 | $365/week

Traditional Camp provides structured, age-based programming that keeps campers active, supported, and engaged all week long. With arts and crafts, group games, character development, weekly swimming, and local field trips or special guest experiences, each day is intentionally designed for growth and fun. Campers are divided into age groups for safety and meaningful engagement, while gathering together daily for assemblies that celebrate traditional camp songs, community skits, and camper-of-the-week achievements. By the end of the week, campers leave with stronger confidence, new friendships, and stories to share.

ADVENTURE CAMP

Ages 8-12 | $445/week

Adventure Camp is our most elevated summer experience, designed for campers who want to explore Park City and beyond through hands-on, active, and new adventures. Each week blends outdoor exploration, curated field trips, and skill-building experiences that go beyond traditional camp programming.

What Sets Adventure Camp Apart:

Curated Weekly Excursions
Each week, campers participate in a thoughtfully selected field trip connecting them to Utah’s culture, recreation, and natural environment.
Destinations include Bear River Migratory Refuge; Loveland Living Planet Aquarium; Mrs. Cavanaugh’s Chocolate & Ice Cream Factory Tour; Mulligans Mini Golf; Ice Skating; Clark Planetarium; Hogle Zoo; Hill Air Force Museum; Natural History Museum of Utah; Dreamscapes Art Museum; Topgolf; Alf Engen Ski Museum; Jordanelle State Park; Recycle Utah; Rush Fun Plex; Bowling; Roller Skating; and Pottery.
 
Outdoor & Leadership Development
Adventure Camp blends outdoor exploration with hands-on learning in sustainability and conservation. Campers build confidence and independence through guided hiking, nature journaling, knot-tying, shelter building, birding, and Leave No Trace principles — all intentionally designed to foster character development and real-world skills.
 
Exclusive Horseback Riding at YMCA Camp Roger
Each Thursday, all Park City Summer Day Campers spend the day at YMCA Camp Roger. Families may add a small-group horseback riding experience available exclusively to Adventure Camp participants.
$50 add-on per week | Limited to 8 riders per week
Includes a professional ground lesson and guided trail or arena ride.
