Utah Federation for Youth

Wonderful Outdoor World (WOW) is a unique program that introduces urban youth, ages eight to eleven, to outdoor recreation during a controlled and safe twenty-four hour camping experience.  Unlike other camping and recreation programs, WOW focuses upon bringing the wonders and excitement of camping to everyone. 

The mission of WOW is to provide an introductory camping experience to urban youth in an effort to foster basic camping skills, enhance community values, create opportunity to make new friends, and encourage youth to further enjoy the outdoors.  Activities emphasize team-building and outdoor education with the goal of instilling a sense of ownership and responsibility and to encourage campers to continue to appreciate and care for the great outdoors.
