Why Choose St. Joseph's Youth Camp?

Summer stretches before you, filled with potential for exploration, discovery, and unforgettable memories. For Arizona families seeking the perfect overnight summer camp experience, look no further than St. Joseph's Youth Camp (SJYC)! Nestled in the pines near Mormon Lake, just outside of Flagstaff, SJYC offers a week-long adventure unlike any other.

We’ve asked our families why they chose SJYC for their child’s summer camp experience. Here are a few highlights of why SJYC should be your top choice for overnight summer camp in Arizona too:

Awesome Activities Await

Our campers never have a dull moment at SJYC! From archery and horseback riding to arts and crafts and campfires under the stars, SJYC offers a wide range of activities that cater to every interest. Whether your child is a budding naturalist or a born entertainer, they'll find something they love at our overnight summer camp.

Making Memories, One Adventure at a Time

Arizona's stunning landscape becomes your child's playground at SJYC. Hiking, swimming, and exploring the wonders of nature will create lifelong memories and a newfound appreciation for the outdoors. Plus, we’ll spend time learning about the environment around us, including a focus on astronomy!

Convenience You Can Count On

Say goodbye to long drives and hello to stress-free travel! We understand that getting your child to camp can be a hurdle. That's why SJYC offers convenient bus transportation from the Phoenix area, taking the worry out of drop-off and pick-up. Bus transportation is included in the cost of camp! Our comfortable buses and the trip up to camp start the fun early - your child will begin to make friends, meet counselors, and enjoy movies and camp sing-alongs!

An Affordable Adventure for All

At SJYC, we believe that every child deserves a chance to experience the magic of sleepaway summer camp. That's why we strive to be one of Arizona's most affordable overnight camp options. We offer competitive pricing without compromising on the quality of our program, making it easier for families to create lasting memories without breaking the bank.

More Than Just a Camp, It's a Family Favorite

Year after year, families choose SJYC because it's more than just a camp; it's a tradition. We focus on helping children develop independence, build confidence, and make lasting friendships in a supportive and enriching environment. Our families love the heart and soul that goes into delivering our summer camp programs - in fact, almost our entire staff team were campers and CITs here before joining our staff team. They loved the camp experience we offer and wanted to do their part to give this next generation of campers and CITs the same great experience!
