Youth Resident Camps - Welcome to Clark County, NV

Clark County's Youth Resident Camps run traditional overnight summer camp sessions at Camp Lee Canyon for kids ages 8 to 16, split into an 8 to 12 group and a 13 to 16 group. The program is built around traditional camp activities in a mountain setting, with lodging and meals included as part of the stay, so families are not packing food or arranging separate housing.

This is a summer-only program, so it does not run year round like most other listings in this directory. Our records list the camp as open 24 hours Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday, which reflects the overnight, multi-day nature of a resident camp rather than a daily drop-off schedule, so families should confirm actual session start and end dates directly with Clark County rather than treating those hours as a daily open and close time.

The camp is located at 6201 Lee Canyon Road, in the Spring Mountains outside the main Las Vegas valley, zip code 89124. Pricing is listed in the $$ range, though exact per-session camp fees are not in our data. Our records do not include a phone number for this listing, so families should visit the Clark County Parks and Recreation website for session dates, registration windows, and cost details.

Because Camp Lee Canyon sits at elevation in the mountains, families should also expect cooler temperatures and different terrain than the desert valley floor, which is part of what makes an overnight camp here distinct from a day camp closer to home. Parents weighing a first overnight camp experience for a child should reach out to Clark County directly to ask about counselor ratios, what to pack, and any health or swim screening required before a session begins.

As a county-run program rather than a private camp operator, Clark County's Youth Resident Camps may also have a different registration and payment process than a private business, so families should plan to check the county website directly rather than expecting an online booking flow identical to a private summer camp. Because it is an overnight resident program rather than a day camp, it is a distinct kind of commitment from a drop-off summer camp, and families new to overnight camps should factor in that difference when comparing options.
