Club U Staff
Youth Education
Club U prides itself on its exemplary staff- truly they are the individuals who bring the magic of the camp experience to the forefront.
Our staff is comprised of individuals who are committed to making a difference in the lives of Club U campers by being positive and supportive role models who ensure an inclusive atmosphere to nurture individual and social growth. Staff come from various backgrounds - current and former University of Utah students, educators in the community, and individuals interested in making positive contributions to the youth of tomorrow. All staff are thoroughly background checked each year, trained in first aid and CPR/AED, and undergo comprehensive youth development training and pre-summer Club U orientation to ensure the safety and wellbeing for all campers.
