Sun Valley offers a variety of recreational and cultural activities that the family can enjoy together, as well as unique programs designed just for kids. Enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Idaho by taking a guided raft, hiking, biking, fishing, mountain climbing, horseback or llama trip with one of the area's many licensed outfitters. Spend the afternoon swimming in one of the area's outdoor heated pools or natural hot springs. Play tennis or golf and go ice-skating at the Sun Valley Resort. Tour the nearby Shoshone and Mammoth Ice Caves or Craters of the Moon National Monument. Spend a rainy day practicing in a rock climbing gym, bowling, enjoying one of the latest movies or getting artistic at local pottery and paint studios. Kids can choose from over 20 different youth camp programs offered in the Sun Valley area; some are day camps and some are overnight camps for 3 days or more.
Prepare for fun in the sun and lots of smiles because kids never run out of things to do in Sun Valley!
