Summer Camp in the Mountains
This year, the Little Vaquero's Club is the ideal summer camp alternative. Blue Sky provides fun, educational, and adventure-based outdoor programs for our younger guests. Each day we offer age-appropriate, skill-building activities that explore the local Utah environment, history, and culture. Spend the day at the farm feeding our animals, learn how to fish, embark on nature hikes to view eagles and deer, or test your navigational skills with geocaching treasure hunts.
