Kids do it all at Elkhorn Kid’s Camp

Fishing, hiking, skating, arts and more

For the little ones, ages 4-10, Elkhorn Kid's Camp is a good way to go.

Owner Erin Tippetts has been in the summer camp business for as long as she can remember, first working as a counselor at Elkhorn Kid's Camp in 1993.

The camp is now in its 18th year, and while it has changed locations and owners, it is still the same fun filled, loving place for kids to spend their Sun Valley summers.

Each session has around 45 kids. The kids are divided into three groups: Seekers, ages 4-5 1/2; Explorers, ages 5 1/2 to 6; and Masters, 7-10. Each day is jam packed with fabulous mountain town activities. One group may start the day fishing at Sun Valley Lake or hiking on Dollar Mountain then end the day frolicking at the water fountain park in Ketchum or doing magical arts and crafts.

"It gives kids everything that Sun Valley has to offer," Tippetts said.

Tippetts is mother to three children of her own Cael, Lily and Shantel.

"I just love the children and their energy and their innocence and how everything is new and exciting and fun and it keeps me young and fun," Tippetts said.

Elkhorn Kid's Camp is located at the Gateway Building in Ketchum. The camp runs from June 7 through Aug. 27. It is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Reservations are required and can be made by contacting Tippetts at 622-2777 or going to www.elkhornkidscamp.com
