Ski Break Camps
Ski Break Camp
February 19 - 22, 2019 | 9 a.m. to 4 a.m.
Registration opens January 14th, 2019 at 6:00 am!
Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter is excited to offer 4 days of fun, outdoor camp during the Park City February Break. Campers will adventure on snowshoes, learn about animals in the winter, try their hand at snow science, and more.
Ski Break Camp is open to youth currently enrolled in 1st through 5th graders. Kindergarteners may not attend—no exceptions. Camp begins each morning at 9 am and ends at 4 pm (drop off is allowed at 8:45 am. No late pick up available). Two snacks will be provided (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), but campers should bring their own sack lunch (that does not require heating) and a reusable water bottle each day. More information, including daily agendas, packing list, and specific agendas will be sent out about a week before camp begins.
