Enroll Your Child Online!

The Alta Summer Camp embraces the process of having a positive impact on children's relationships with nature. This summer, we invite adventurers age 5 (finishing Kindergarten this year) thru 12 years old to spend a week with us doing hands-on science and nature-based activities, as well as partaking in experiential learning on the ecology of the cottonwood canyons! Through this one week experience, we hope to foster a harmonious relationship between children and the beautiful place we call home!

ABOUT ALTA CHILDREN'S CENTER

Using nature right outside the backdoor as a springboard for environmental education, we will connect children to what they love about nature. We stroke their curiosity and use that to teach them about the mountains we love and live in!

At camp the children will be hiking, inventing using recycled materials, building solar ovens, learning about the flowers and bugs at Alta,  journaling, learning about our watershed, creating art, writing the President about our National Forests, and so much more. Our curriculum will focus on nature education and on what is so great about the Wasatch!

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to ensure that our summer camp gives children the opportunity to learn and be happy in the outdoors.

State Licensed

The Alta Children’s Center is a state licensed childcare facility approved to care for 80 children from ages 5 to 12 years. We also have a level 2 food service permit from the Salt Lake County Health Department and an approved up to date Fire Inspection.

Delicious Meals

Here at the Alta Children's Center, we know the importance of feeding our children healthy and nutritious food, which is why we strive to purchase organic and GMO free products whenever possible.  We also emphasize whole grains and a large variety of fruits and vegetables. We avoid highly processed foods and make our snacks from scratch using real ingredients.
