Camp GOTR is a brand-new, fun, way to enjoy summer for girls going into 3rd - 6th grade! Each camper will receive all the appropriate camp swag including; cinch sacks, bracelets, water bottles and fun buttons! Our daily schedule will include:
Each week of camp will culminate with fun Gallery Walk to see their peers craft projects AND they will prepare team skits to show what they learned at camp. It truly is all the best of summer camp sprinkled with Girls on the Run flair! Registration is open on our website or on Rowland Hall's website.
We NOW have a limited number of FULL scholarships available, up to 10 girls per camp! These scholarships will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested in a scholarship, please email Ivy Denihan, Program Director at ivy@girlsontherunutah.org.

Utah students releasing trout raised in the classroom
What: Back in early January, DWR biologists and Trout Unlimited volunteers delivered trout eggs to more than 30 Utah schools as part of the Trout in the Classroom program. Those eggs hatched, and students at every age level have had a firsthand view of the growing trout while learning about fish biology and wild ecosystems. It is now time for the fish to be released, and you are welcome to join the students at release sites across north-central Utah.
When: Now through the end of May
Where: Local ponds, reservoirs and rivers in the Logan, Ogden, Provo, Park City and Salt Lake City areas

Central Utah
Surveying fish populations at Strawberry Reservoir
What: DWR biologists are taking a close look at the fish populations in one of Utah’s most popular recreation spots. From now through the end of October, biologists will travel the length and breadth of Strawberry Reservoir — pulling nets at many different sites, every week or two — to check on the fish. They’re starting to see some interesting trends in fish growth rates and survival. Strawberry is home to huge rainbows, cutthroats and kokanee salmon. You are invited to be onsite when the nets come onto the shore. You’ll see some trophy-sized fish and have a chance to interview the biologists who use the netting data to manage this fishing hotspot.
When: There are multiple days scheduled over the upcoming months, but dates are subject to change, depending on weather and other factors. Please email or call the contact if you’re interested in a particular date, so he can follow up with you if plans change. The following dates are planned for the next couple of months:
· May 22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
· May 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
· May 31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
· June 7 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
· June 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
· June 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
· July 12 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
· July 26 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Where: Strawberry Reservoir (in Wasatch County, about an hour away from Salt Lake City)

Southern Utah
Help survey fish populations at Fish Lake
What: Few Utah waterbodies are more aptly named than Fish Lake. Known for its huge lake trout, this southern Utah fishery is also home to splake, yellow perch, brown trout, rainbow trout, kokanee salmon and even a few tiger muskies. (The muskies traveled to Fish Lake from Johnson Reservoir, which is about seven miles downstream.) In a couple of weeks, DWR biologists will visit the lake to conduct their annual gillnetting survey. As the heavy, fish-filled nets come over the side of the boat, the biologists should see a variety of species — and some really big fish! Then, the biologists will sort, weigh, measure and record data about each fish. It’s a sampling process that provides valuable information about how the lake’s sportfish populations are doing. You are invited to join and interview the fisheries biologists as they conduct the survey.
When: May 22 at 9 a.m. (call contact to arrange a meeting time and location)
Where: Fish Lake (southeast of Richfield)
