Group Scholarships
Help Your Whole
Group Make It
to Camp.
If cost is keeping kids in your church or youth program from attending, Big Canyon's campership program is here to help. Church and group leaders apply for a group scholarship — funds are awarded to the leader, who then distributes them among their campers however they see fit.
You know your kids best. We trust you to decide who needs it most and how to divide it. Our job is to get the funds to you — yours is to make sure every kid on your list gets a week at camp.
Application Deadline: May 1st Each Year

Fall Round Up
An Evening Worth
Showing Up For

Tables are reserved by church or group, making it a natural gathering point for communities who have sent campers to Big Canyon throughout the year. Come ready to celebrate, look ahead, and be inspired.

"
As with most any ministry, especially in Utah, we have big dreams and limited resources. Fortunately, there are also a lot of really big hearts and generous people here as well. Local 316 has been an absolutely critical part of Big Canyon's success. Big Canyon now serves over 3,400 campers per year, in no small part because of those who volunteer their time and talents through Local 316!
— Brian Zwahlen
13 Years of Partnership
For the past 13 years, Local 316 has faithfully partnered with Big Canyon each spring, bringing together local tradesmen who generously volunteer their time to help prepare camp for the season ahead.
Big Canyon has become the primary place in Utah that kids and adults alike go to make life-long memories and have life-changing encounters with Jesus Christ. We would love for you to join us in these efforts.
THIS YEAR'S WEEKEND
This year's Men's Work Weekend was filled with hard work, shared purpose, and meaningful connection. From early mornings to full days of building, repairing, and improving camp, so much was accomplished throughout the weekend.
We are incredibly grateful for every man who showed up to serve. As camp continues to grow, we look forward to welcoming even more people to be part of future work weekends and the lasting impact they help create.
