Where You'll Find Us
You’ll often find us at our historic campus nestled in Big Cottonwood Canyon near Brighton, UT. About 30 miles from Salt Lake City, our campus is surrounded by a beautiful glacial bowl of glassy lakes and pebble bottom streams, teeming with broad-beamed virgin timber and fields of incredibly lush wildflowers. Throughout the school year, we also host events at local congregations in the Salt Lake Valley.
At Camp Tuttle, we embrace youth and families from a variety of backgrounds - embracing the diversity of Creation in our participants experiences of age, ability, race, language, sexual orientation, and gender backgrounds. We strive to create a fully inclusive culture and environment that values equality and fosters respect for all people. We understand Christian spirituality as a shared journey from which no one should be excluded. In alignment with our values, vision, and mission, Camp Tuttle welcomes all people as guests and full participants in our programs. We are committed to ensuring connection and inclusion among participants, staff, and administrators by adhering to loving accountability practices. We acknowledge that the pursuit of justice toward justice is an ongoing learning process and that we always have room to grow and extend our hospitality.
