Youth Camps
YGP camps provide fun and educational programming during spring break and throughout summer vacation for youth entering 1st-6th grades.
After School Program
After-School Program is a place where students explore and get creative in the garden. We partner with BEACON Afterschool Program to facilitate clubs during the school year for 1st-6th graders.
Garden Classrooms
All students in K-6th grades, in addition to several Moab preschools, visit the Youth Garden Project during the fall and spring seasons for Garden Classroom field trips.
Teen Programs
We use the garden as a teaching tool to supplement student learning with engaging and real-world experiences for young adults.
After School Programs
YGP hosts two afterschool programs per week throughout the fall and spring. Over the winter, we host one session per week. Families sign-up their kids through BEACON Afterschool Program. Program themes vary each trimester where students can participate in a variety of activities including: hunting for bugs & insects, harvesting & planting, cooking with garden ingredients, exploring various art forms, games & free play, and the list goes on!
