Our History

Each summer since 1970 Provo School District, in conjunction with Provo City Parks and Recreation, has sponsored an outdoor education (summer camp) program. Students just finishing fifth grade are invited to participate. They spend five days at a camp located in the South Fork of Provo Canyon and enjoy many fun activities such as hands on science experiences, arts and crafts, sports and recreation, and campfire programs. Big Springs provides a creative, recreational and educational opportunity for students in the outdoors.

The Big Springs Adventure

We feel that Big Springs is a unique and rare experience that provides opportunities which many children may never get in any other way. We utilize trained leadership and the resources of our natural surroundings to contribute to each camper's mental, physical, and social growth.
