With Summer still here but many travel plans wrapped up, a weekend up your closest canyon might just be the perfect getaway! A few last days of summer fun with the family is easily facilitated with a 10-minute drive up Millcreek Canyon. For three weekends in August, Millcreek’s Venture Out! will host Camp Tracy Adventure Weekends. Hosted by Millcreek, guests young and old are invited to this historic Scout camp for the weekend, or simply for the day. Demonstrations, hands-on activities, and quintessential camp activities like shooting sports, fishing, and others are available each day.
Interested in a camping experience without the hassle of finding a site? Campsites at Camp Tracy can accommodate up to six people with space for one tent and an additional tent for storage and food preparation. You can request to camp near other family, friends, or neighbors who are also registered. Each campsite includes a picnic table so you can cook your own meals outdoors. If camping isn’t your style, rustic bunk cabins for up to 12 people are available too. Your reservation includes a mattress, but bring your own sleeping bag!
If your family needs a little more flexibility before the start of school, consider day passes. Just $10 per person, days passes let you reserve special experiences including the shooting range, ropes course, fishing, ax throwing, and a special camp service project.
