Utah 4-H developed a wide range of camp guides that provide days of fun in each free download (name, email, phone, and state required). While many more guides can be found on this page, most, but not all, activities in the following guides use common household supplies.

• Slimy, Gooey, Gross—Youth will enjoy fun, hands-on activities that teach basic science principles. They’ll explore slimy, gooey, gross science while they conduct all kinds of icky, sticky experiments! Get ready to be playing in some slimy, yucky science fun.
• Island Adventures—Youth will travel to a remote, secret island and explore ocean and coastal life, including otters, manatees, polar bears, and whales. They will use maps to study the island and learn about island survival by building shelters and finding fresh water! They also get to be Pirates for a day!
• Forces of Nature—Earthquakes, floods, fire, and extreme weather are all part of an exciting week exploring the earth! In this five day camp, campers will also build and test bridges, weather instruments, and other hands-on activities through exploration and experimentation. The Forces of Nature Camp is a camp designed for grades 3-5, but could be adapted to fit many age ranges.
• Planet Energy—Youth will learn about the powers of light, motion, and heat energy. We’ll be launching a solar balloon, working with magnetism, experiencing solar energy, learning more about nature, and conducting energizing hands-on experiments!
• An Unfortunate Camp—Youth will explore the science behind inventions, study reptiles, and get creative with new projects. Youth will learn through exploration and experimentation. This guide is based on the first three books from the book series A Series of Unfortunate Events.
