Making Magic at Under Canvas

Morgan Clemens—who has worked at Under Canvas camps in Yellowstone and the Great Smoky Mountains, and now serves as Operations Manager at Under Canvas Zion—is passionate about providing guests with oneof-a-kind outdoor experiences that “they can take with them for the rest of their lives.”

A native of New Jersey who was drawn to Under Canvas by a desire to leave her busy life in NYC’s East Village behind, Morgan explains, “I love being the bridge for guests who have not experienced anything like Under Canvas before. It’s the unique destinations that drew me to Under Canvas in the first place and have kept me hooked ever since.”

Some of Clemens’ favorite Under Canvas moments have taken place on Opening Day. “Opening Day is always so special. After months of working as a team to get camp ready for our guests, there’s so much excitement and anticipation in the air. On Opening Day in 2021, it was lightly snowing and looked so beautiful at camp. It was magical in every way.”

Morgan also loves helping couples plan and create the wedding of their dreams. Last summer, she facilitated a wedding for a couple that she had first welcomed to Under Canvas the summer before. “Working with them from their first visit to Zion until their wedding day was so special, and the gratitude that I felt on their wedding night was something I’ll never forget.” Morgan continues, “For many of our weddings, I am often the person picking up the bride in the golf cart and bringing her down to the wedding ceremony. Getting to spend a few minutes with the bride, and helping her step into a next chapter of her life, is an experience that I cherish so much.”
