Navajo Trails is a summer camp for girls and boys ages 7-16. It was started in 1966 by Don Sampson & Mont Ellet. He was a really neat guy. He loved the outdoors, adventures, and helping kids. He had a dream ever since he was in middle school to open his own summer camp and made his dreams come true in 1966. Now the camp is owned and operated by his son Dan Sampson and his wife Jenny Sampson. Dan grew up at the camp, now him and his wife raise their 4 sons at the camp in the summer. Along with raising their kids and running a summer camp Dan works at the U of U and Jenny runs her own floral shop.
This year Amy Hugh and K'Leena Mellor have joined up with Dan and Jenny to put out the best camp program around. Amy has been a camp director with the Girl Scouts of Utah for nine years. She graduated with her Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling and her undergraduate degree is in Sociology. She loves hiking, backpacking, photography, pottery, and wants to maybe get into scuba diving for fun. She even has a entire room in her house dedicated to pottery. In addition to directing this camp she owns a photography company and lifeguard and other life saving instructing company.
