Under 10, all year long Complimentary Kids' Meals

Play Together

From embarking on wilderness adventures and fun survival skills challenges with expert guides to feeding the animals on our on-site farm, there’s something for every family.

The Experience

There’s no better way to explore the beauty of our mountains and canyons than on the back of a horse. The whole family will enjoy visiting our stables to meet, feed and groom our gentle horses. After getting to know our hoofed friends, choose from a range of equine adventures, most of which can be tailored for riders ages eight years and older.

The Experience

Unleash your family’s creative spirit with an inspiring outdoor art session, or by creating a one-of-a-kind souvenir to bring home. Take a guided family hike to a gorgeous mountaintop setting to paint inspiring vistas, or enjoy a drawing session on the remote valley floor surrounded by colorful wildflowers.

The Experience

Revel in nature’s awe-inspiring beauty together with a family hike to remote mountain vistas. Blue Sky’s extensive trail system offers hikes suitable for even our youngest guests. Simply savor the incredible views, or turn your family trek into an educational adventure. Self-guided family hikes are an opportunity for kids to master the use of maps, traditional compasses and GPS devices, while on guided hikes, they can learn about the fascinating local flora and fauna of the region.

The Experience

Surrender your digital devices and recenter together with a family yoga session. Blue Sky provides ample opportunities for your family to root down and rise up in our epic landscape. Our yoga program can be tailored for every experience level and are suitable for even our youngest guests. Enjoy a forest hike to practice yoga surrounded by panoramic mountain views to yoga in silks hung from old-growth trees.

The Experience

Reap the rewards of a day on the farm, as a family or as part of the Little Vaquero's Club. Families can live a day in the life of a farmer. Activities follow the seasonal planting and harvest of vegetables in the greenhouse and in the fields. Follow up by feeding chickens and collecting eggs, before a team lunch with farm staff. Take your newfound skills back home to foster your own green thumbs.

The Experience

Learn the basics of working with bread dough – activating yeast, kneading, proofing, blending flowers and herbs into the dough, and forming and baking a delicious loaf of crusty focaccia. As your bread rises and bakes in the oven, our lead Baker guides you in the creation of flavorful farmer’s cheese – a creamy companion for dipping and spreading.



Stay Together

At Blue Sky, families of any size will find the ideal arrangement with large suites and the option to adjoin them for expanded space and flexibility.


Your Year-Round Mountain Playground

From nature hikes through wildflower-dotted valleys to learning the basics of fly fishing and native trout species, our highly curated outdoor adventures are inspired by Utah’s majestic landscape, and designed for the whole family to rediscover the simple joys of playing in the great outdoors. Kids of any age can also experience a true back-to-the-land connection by harvesting produce from our on-site farm, gathering eggs from our chicken coop, and collecting honey from our beehive.


Family Amenities

Complimentary Gear

For the ultimate in-room camping experience, kids 6 years and younger can enjoy a fun teepee set up with a small mattress and pillow. More traditional sleeping arrangements, including cribs, pack-and-plays, and rollaway beds, can also be arranged.

Kids' Menus

Our world-class dining team takes great pride and care in crafting its kids’ menus, incorporating extraordinary ingredients from local producers as well as just-harvested vegetables from our on-site farm. We can also work with you to accommodate allergies, sensitivities—or the particularly finicky palate.

Childcare

Relax and reconnect as a couple while knowing your kids are stimulated and well-looked after by our highly trained and professional childcare staff. Childcare is available by the hour.


Something for Everyone

Customize Your Stay

Wellness For All Ages

Enjoy a hike or horseback ride to a high alpine field to rebalance as a family with guided yoga and meditation sessions that can be customized for all ages and ability.

Outdoor Dining
