SALT LAKE CITY– Westminster is pleased to announce the college’s exciting 2010 summer camp lineup. From spiking volleyballs to exploring Great Salt Lake, youth (4th- 12th grade) have a variety of camps to choose from.

Westminster offers five types of summer camps that are open to the public, including:

Outdoor Recreation Camp (July 11-17): This camp is the newest addition to the summer listing. Westminster’s Outdoor Recreation Camp invites campers to participate in a week of fantastic outdoor adventures, including rock climbing, hiking, backpacking and kayaking. Students will learn the basics of climbing at the college's 46-foot indoor wall and then head to the Cottonwood Canyons to experience Utah’s world famous rock climbing. Participants will stay at the college's residential halls for the week. The camp is open to students 15-17 years old. Cost is $585, which includes food, lodging, activities and gear.

 

College Experience Camps (July 11-17): These interactive, hands-on academic camps are taught by Westminster’s first-rate faculty to give high school students a true taste of college life. Participants live on campus and have the opportunity to learn more about themselves and meet other students with similar interests. Students can also earn college credit upon completion of the camps. These camps are limited to students in grades 9-12. Prices vary and scholarships are available. Camps include:

Aviation Camp
Robotics Camp
Money 101 Camp
Writing Your World Camp
Camp Great Salt Lake (July 12-17): Westminster’s Great Salt Lake Institute invites campers to spend a few days as a scientist examining the extreme environment of GSL. The theme of camp is "Birds Eye view of GSL". The residential camp will give campers hands-on experiences and will help students answer questions like: How does the lake harness sunlight? What lab techniques can we use to detect life? Do the brine shrimp really look like sea monkeys? The camp is open to high school juniors and seniors. Cost is $150. Scholarships are available.

AWE+SUM Camps (July 6-8): Exclusively for girls entering the 8th grade this fall. Students will spend three fun-filled days on the beautiful Westminster College campus and discover just how fun and cool math and science can be! In addition to the workshops, campers will play volleyball, take hikes by the creek and enjoy meals in the student center. Several Westminster female math and science faculty and students will assist with the workshops. In the residential halls, there will be two girls per room and several adult counselors for close supervision. Scholarships are available.

Athletic Camps (Varied Dates): These camps offer students a variety of sports to choose from and are open to grades 1-12. From soccer to volleyball, young athletes will receive training and advice from Westminster athletics coaches and players. Athletic camps include boys and girls’ basketball, girls’ soccer and volleyball, and boys’ lacrosse. Both overnight and day camp options are available.
