Arizona Adventures Camp: Something for Everyone
Looking for:
Childcare/Education: CCClub Summer Program w/ Adventure Club Days
Beginner Adventures: Day Trips, Tsunami Night, California Campout
Advanced Multi-Day Adventures: Ultimate Adventure, California Adventure
Q: What Should My Student Pack?
A: Every adventure we offer is different and will have its own set of required/recommended items to bring, but, we do have what we call the "Adventure Camp Basics." These are the items that should be brought on every trip.
Closed-toe shoes
Change of clothes (if it's a multi-day trip)
Swimwear (swimsuit or clothes that can get wet)
Sunscreen
Water bottle
Flashlight (if multi-day)
Personal hygiene supplies
Q: Is your camp for "troubled" kids?
A: "Troubled" or not, all students must adhere to our rules and expectations. We often travel very far from home and cannot tolerate serious misbehavior.
Q: Can I/we (parent) volunteer?
A: We offer many opportunities to join us on adventures throughout the year, and we can put a custom trip together for your family and friends, but our summer Adventures are not open to parent volunteers. These particular trips are structured so as to allow students to function/grow/socialize in a setting simulating the world they will be encountering as young adults.
Q: How hard are the Adventures - Do you think my student can do it?
A: Different adventures have different difficulty ratings but, that's hard to answer. We are all capable of doing more than we think we can, and if we want something bad enough we can achieve it, but we might not have the time on a given trip for a student to go at a leisure pace. Almost every activity/class we offer will require a certain level of physicality, please inquire bout a particular trip if you're unsure.
Q: Are phones / smart watches allowed - electronics?
A: Phones/Electronics are highly discouraged. They get lost, broken, stolen, and are all too often used to waste time. Leaders may use features such as GPS and traffic, radar and weather. Students DO NOT need them while on Adventures. (If phones or smart watches are brought, they must be given to staff to be kept in a lockbox; only to be used at predetermined times.) The leaders will be taking pictures and videos and will be happy to send group messages/e-mails (signal and time permitting) to update parents. If you insist on sending your child with a phone, they may only use it under the conditions agreed upon by the leaders and the parents.
Q: Is this a church/religious camp?
A: Arizona Adventures Camp is Christian-led, but we are not associated with any particular church or denomination. Our director is unapologetically Christian and if the occasion arises, will respectfully defend the Christian faith and answer questions from a biblical worldview. We do not discriminate against anyone and are open to anyone who is respectful and well-behaved. Our goal is not conversion or preaching but living as an example and providing students an escape from the culture, stress, and pressures of the world.
