This summer, around 250 Canyons School District students each week are exploring creativity and curiosity through hands-on camps. They're building robots, launching rockets and uncovering science with magic. Art sessions spark imagination, while soccer drills and dance routines keep kids active. Crochet offers a calming break and wildlife encounters — like meeting an alligator snapping turtle — add a sense of adventure. The camps, like after-school classes, are offered through community education.
