Camp Lee Canyon registration now open

Registration has started for three Summer Resident Camps at Camp Lee Canyon, sponsored by Clark County Parks and Recreation.

Camp Lee Canyon is located in the Spring Mountain Range of the Toiyabe National Forest, 45 minutes from Las Vegas.

Each camp has special activity sessions based on the camp's theme, as well as traditional camping activities such as hiking and campfires.

"On the Edge" camp is an adventure recreation camp for participants ages 13 to 15 planned for June 22-27. This camp provides teens with an experience in adventure recreation, including activities such as outdoor cooking, mountain biking, hiking, archery, an overnight camp-out and a high-ropes challenge course.

The Lee Canyon Arts Camp will take place July 6-11 for campers ages 8 to 12. Featuring a circus theme, the camp will offer classes such as acrobatics, tight-rope (low), rolla-bolla, make-up, costumes, stilts and clowning.

The third camp is Omni Camp: An Adventure in Science planned for July 13-18 for children ages 8 to 12. The theme is an exploration of planet Earth, and the camp will include earth and life science classes focusing on the four spheres: the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere, and how they correspond to rocks, water, air and life.

Campfires, singalongs and hikes also are part of the curriculum.

The cost is $400 per camper.

Campers will sleep in cabins with trained counselors. A nurse will be in residence at the camp, and professional cooks will prepare nutritious meals and snacks.

Registration is accepted at Sunset Park, Desert Breeze Community Center, Mountain Crest Neighborhood Services Center and Hollywood Recreation Center. Payment can be made by credit card or debit card. For more information, call 455-1905.
