July 12–16, 2027

Youth Camp

A week together — the temple, service, and three days on the Colorado River. Two nights in Sanpete County cabins, then off to Moab.

Cost

$125 per youth

There is no charge for youth leaders. Parents and other adults are welcome to come too. An adult who is not a youth leader pays $220 for the river days, which is the actual cost of their seat. The youth price is lower because the ward covers part of it. There is no charge for an adult who comes for the cabins only. Please pay by check made out to the Draper Utah Meadows 5th Ward, and give it to a member of the bishopric.

Cost will never keep a youth from participating. If it would be a burden on your family, please contact Bishop Osterhout directly.
