Summer Adventure Camp
Join us this summer for 8 weeks of Summer Adventure Camp at Park City Community Church!
We welcome rising first through sixth graders for our week-long camp sessions. Please note that on the registration you will put their current grade (2024-2025 school year.)
Rising seventh through ninth graders are invited to register for our counselor-in-training leadership program (details below).
Each week will feature a unique theme, bringing new adventures and creative excitement. Get ready for water balloon battles, oobleck experiments, nature hikes, artwork, scavenger hunts, singing, dancing, acting, minute-to-win-it challenges, trivia, and so much more!
Every week, we’ll also head out on at least one local field trip to explore and have fun around our community. Some of the destinations may include the Park City Museum, Deer Valley Beach, Park City Farmer’s Market, the Basin Recreation Splash Pad, and other exciting spots!
In addition to all the fun, campers will come together for a weekly ecumenical chapel time, where we’ll learn more about kindness, love, peace, gratitude, and the importance of community and service in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
It’s going to be a summer packed with curiosity, creativity, and unforgettable memories!

Refund Policy
Payment Schedule: Half of the total payment is due at the time of sign-up to secure your child’s spot. The remaining balance is due one month after the initial payment or the first date of camp, June 16th, whichever comes first.
Refunds for Cancellations: Before Camp Begins (June 16): If you cancel your registration before the first day of camp (June 16), you will receive a 50% refund of the total camp fee. After Camp Begins (June 16): No refunds will be issued after the first day of camp. This is due to the limitations of our small staff and because we purchase supplies and hire staff based on enrollment numbers before camp begins.
Special Considerations: Refund requests due to exceptional circumstances (such as a medical emergency) will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please contact our office as soon as possible if this applies to you. Refunds cannot be granted for absences, including vacation days, during the camp session.
Changes in Camp Schedule: In the unlikely event of a camp cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., extreme weather or emergencies), we will notify families immediately and offer appropriate refunds or credits based on the situation.
Counselor in Training (CIT) Program
All CITs are required to participate in training June 12-13 and must commit to attending at least 2 weeks of camp (preferably consecutively).
The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program is designed for rising seventh through ninth graders who are ready to develop leadership skills while having fun at camp. CITs will be assigned to a specific age group and paired with an experienced counselor, giving them hands-on opportunities to assist with activities, engage with campers, and learn the ins and outs of creating a positive camp experience.
Participation requires a minimum two-week commitment, as well as completion of a mandatory training session to prepare CITs for their important role. This program is a fantastic way for teens to build confidence, gain valuable leadership experience, and make lasting memories!
