Summer camps in Utah: state rules
Utah doesn't publish a statewide camp list, so we have no camp listings here yet. This page explains the state's camp rule and links to the official sources.
Utah camp rules
Only some camp types need a camp license or permit. We found no state youth camp license in Utah. Camps used for temporary overnight stays must meet the state Recreation Camp Sanitation rule (R392-300), which covers water, sewer, and facilities and is enforced by the local health department. That rule does not set staffing or program standards. A day camp or other summer program that cares for 5 or more children age 5 and up, 3 or more days a week for 30 or more days a year, may need an out-of-school-time child care license unless it qualifies for an exemption, such as a summer camp on federal land under a federal permit or a nonprofit program run under a city or county agreement (R381-70-3; Utah Code §26B-2-405).
