Pre-K Summer Camp
Join us this summer at our awesome camps in the Garden! Every week includes daily cooking and tasting so all kids build skills, confidence, and willingness to try new foods. Children garden, engage in nature-based arts and crafts, learn environmental stewardship, and savor unstructured time to play and explore outside. These camps adapt our Elementary camp themes perfectly for our youngest campers. We can't wait to welcome your child to summer camp!
Camp runs from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm for children who are age 3 to rising 1st graders. Fees are $375 per weekly session. Please scroll down for information about scholarships. Camp is held at the Garden, 4056 Shadow Mountain Dr, Park City, UT 84098 (off of Old Ranch Road). If you have older kids, register for our elementary camps.
Pre-K camps will be taught by Tracy Zisselsberger. Tracy lives in Park City, has her MEd, her AMS Montessori certification, and 10 years of experience teaching early childhood and elementary education.

“Garden Arts & Culture” week explores nature as art and how both shape our local culture. Each day holds opportunities for art, physical activity, and gardening. We will be foraging and gathering items and using them to create art pieces while we explore Park City and Summit County history. We will learn about cultural gardening practices with Artes de Mexico en Utah. We will tend our Garden beds, harvest and prepare food from our garden, and learn about how food is a central part of culture. Each day campers will learn about local art, food systems, and history, with special guest visitors helping us tie it all together.
El campamento “Garden Arts & Culture” es una exploración de la naturaleza como arte y cómo ambos ayudan a dar forma a la cultura, a nivel local e internacional. Los campistas buscarán y recolectarán artículos y los usarán para crear obras de arte mientras exploramos la historia de Park City y el condado de Summit. Los campistas también participarán en actividades culturales indígenas y prácticas de jardinería cuando Artes de México en Utah visite nuestro campamento para un evento especial de La Milpa. Cuidaremos los parterres de nuestro jardín, cosecharemos y prepararemos alimentos del jardín y aprenderemos cómo la comida es una parte central de la cultura en todo el mundo. Cada día, los campistas aprenderán sobre el arte, el sistema alimentario y la historia local, y nuestros invitados especiales ayudarán a unir todo. Cada día ofrece oportunidades para el arte, la actividad física y la jardinería.
