The Superior Summer Camp Details
Location: The summer camp's main location is on level 1 of the Cliff Lodge, taking advantage of its natural surroundings and recreational facilities to provide a well-rounded camp experience.
Duration: The camp operates for a period of 9 weeks, starting from the 15th of June and concluding in August 14th. This duration covers a significant portion of the summer break for 5 surrounding school districts, providing parents with a reliable option for their children to have FUN in the summer.
Age Group: The summer camp will cater to children aged 5 to 10, ensuring that the activities and curriculum are tailored to their developmental needs and interests.
Activities: Every morning, campers enjoy a choice-based program built around the week’s theme. Each week, our team prepares 20 creative, hands-on activity tubs filled with art, STEM, games, challenges, experiments, building projects, and imaginative play opportunities. Counselors select 4 activities each day, and campers choose the activities that interest them most. Many campers participate in more than one activity throughout the morning.
Activities may take place indoors or outdoors depending on the project and weather. For campers who prefer something different, we also offer a large free-choice art studio and a discovery area stocked with more than 175 games, puzzles, STEM materials, building sets, books, and creative activities. Our goal is to foster independence, curiosity, and a sense of autonomy by allowing children to help shape their own camp experience.
Every afternoon, campers head outdoors to enjoy the best of Snowbird (An additional waiver needs to be completed before camp starts, please look out for a brightwheel message with instructions). Adventures may include the tram, mountain coaster, ropes course, fishing pond, park play, mountain exploration, outdoor games, and picnics in the fresh mountain air. No two days are exactly alike, creating a summer full of adventure, choice, and fun.
Nutritional Meals: Our camp will provide a buffet style for morning breakfast, snack and a full lunch with a choice of proteins, grains, vegetables, and fruits.
Safety and Staffing: All camp counselors did undergo state and federal background checks, First Aid and CPR training to ensure the safety and well-being of the campers as well as relevant early childhood education topics. Above adequate supervision will always be maintained, and staff-to-camper ratios will be in accordance with Ms. Ilse’s quality standards.
Transportation: We use a 12, 14, and 15 passenger vans for transportation. All drivers have clean driving records on file and complete canyon driving training. One of our main drivers, Jake, is also a school bus driver during the school year. This is our second season running transportation for Superior Summer Camp. Our sister company, the Alta Summer Camp, where ms. Ilse is also the Executive Director, has been transporting school-age children in the canyon for 6 years. For booster seats, we provide backless boosters for children who are required by Utah law to use them, including children under 8 years old who are under 4'9'' (57 inches) tall. Families are welcome to provide their own booster seat if preferred.
Registration and Pricing: Registration is completed online with a deposit, and an invoice will be sent via the Brightwheel parent communication app, due the week before camp. This structure guarantees a spot and allows parents to budget over time.
Parent Engagement: Regular communication will be maintained with parents through the Brightwheel app. The camp counselors send photos of each child’s experience throughout the day.
