Summer Camp Season

Voted Arizona's Best Summer Camp!

For many, the words "summer camp" bring up memories of horseback riding expeditions, time in nature, late-night s'mores, and of course, the best of friends. For over 70 years, the mission of St. Joseph's Youth Camp has been to create just that. Today, we serve nearly 500 youth each summer and have created memories of pure joy for thousands. St. Joseph’s Youth Camp is a non-denominational, 501(c)3 nonprofit camp located 30 minutes southeast of Flagstaff, AZ, and 2.5 hours north of Phoenix.

During their 7-day, 6-night stay, campers ages 7 to 15 will make the best of friends while participating in various fun, traditional camp activities, including horseback riding, archery, and kayaking. Plus, Teen Week campers enjoy an elevated camp experience with high ropes/ziplining. Campers continue to learn and grow, exploring STEAM topics, outdoor education, and social-emotional development. While your camper is having the time of their lives, have the peace of mind that they are being cared for like family.

Our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program is a one-week (7 days, 6 nights) experience for teens ages 15 to 17. This long-running program allows counselors to participate in personal development activities and discussions to give them skills in communication, leadership, greater good, positivity, and inclusion. With these skills, they will be ready to be leaders at camp and in their day-to-day lives. If selected, counselors will be asked to return for the camper weeks to put their skills into action (and earn community service hours).
