for kids

Kid’s Camp

The Sundance Nature Center’s summer camps are especially designed with three ideas in mind: having fun, spending as much time outdoors as possible, and learning about the spectacular environment of Sundance and Mount Timpanogos.

 

Every Monday through Friday, from June through August, we’ll focus on a different aspect of the natural world of the North Fork Canyon. From water to wldlife, each theme is exciting and allows kids to participate in fun, hands-on learning experiences. All camps include combinations of field studies and creative projects.

 

• $45 a day
• $180 for five days
