Clear Creek Camp is Alpine School District's residential outdoor-education camp in Green's Canyon near Helper, Utah, staffed by district teachers and offered to students the summer after fifth grade. Campers (about ages 10-11) study wildflowers, animals, forest ecology, and conservation, and take part in high-ropes courses, creek studies, nature walks, and campfire songs and games. The district has announced plans to sell the property, with the program continuing for a final season.

★★★★★Bekah MeadowsI went here like 25 years ago in 4th grade and I will still never forget it. It is honestly one of my favorite memories ever. I loved catching potguts, going on hikes, playing field games and learning about wildflowers.
★★★★★Tom WalshThey are currently replacing the caretakers cabin. The old cabins are gone as well. Update the caretakers cabin is done.
★★★★★C GWow what a fun time! I went here for my son's school trip as a chaperone and I was amazed at the sheer beauty. Fun outdoor activities kept the class pretty busy. I never once heard "I'm bored" even one time from all 30 of them. Hosts were kind and very accomadating. Hope we get to go back again!
★★★★★Rose KlingonsmithNewest facilities in the area for groups. The cabins are being replaced, starting with the caretakers home. New full lodge in the future. Athletic field, volleyball area, hiking on property, and a ropes course with low and high events. There is a Historic Museum for the area that represents the 83 year history. There is a full kitchen/cafeteria available (see the onsite caretaker, Mr. Pace). This is a hidden gem you will be suprised what it has to offer.
★★★★★Son of the SeaI went here my 5th grade year in 2017 I believe, I had a blast. I went for the one day trip my school was doing and it was winter still and the place was covered with several inches of snow. My friends and I played soccer in the snow and told scary stories around a campfire. Once the summer hit I went back for the summer camp experience. I wish it was more then just the 5 day stay because it was so much fun. The counselors were on top of everything, the lunch staff made accomodations for everyone who had allergies and other things that required different food. They good was really good, some of the meals were not but that was because I don't like those things. The camper vs councilor volleyball games were not only fun to watch but to participate in. I just loved everything about this place and wish I could go again and again every year. They really do know how to run things there, I have no complaints.
