If you’re a parent, summer is probably already creeping onto your calendar. The time to register your kid in summer camp is now. Here are a few options around Salt Lake.

University of Utah

Hosted on the University of Utah campus, Club U Camp offers a classic summer camp experience for kids ages 5-14, with weekly themes, hands-on activities, and field trip days. You can sign up for a single session or mix and match classes.

For something more focused, Campus Camps are geared toward ages 6-17 and center on specific fields and skills for a more educational deep dive.

Spy Hop

Register asap for this summer camp favorite! Kids ages 8-11 will learn things like stop motion animation, filmmaking, and video game design, from professional artists.

School of Rock

If you have a kid who loves to jam out in the back seat, School of Rock might be a good fit. Kids ages 6-17 can try guitar, bass, drums, keys, or vocals, no matter their skill level.

You Goat This

Sadly, despite the name, goats are not involved. Instead, they offer small adventure trips for school-aged kids throughout the summer.
