Badger Creek: Main Info

Due to the way the calendar works this coming year, we will not be holding one-day programs during the summer of 2010.

  

What Is Badger Creek?

Badger Creek is an Outdoor Learning Center owned by Brigham Young University-Idaho. Badger Creek lies in the beautiful Teton Valley. The center spreads across 200 acres of rolling hills and valleys. The Grand Tetons are in panoramic view in the distance. Located four miles north and one mile east of Tetonia, Idaho, off State Highway 33, Badger Creek is within driving distance of many people and has become a site for winter recreational activities, as well as our summer One and Three-day programs and our Self-Managed programs.
