Arizona Family Campout Program weekends are designed for families that have little or no experience camping. We provide the camping equipment, introduce you to the great experiences you can share with your family, and inspire you to continue to explore the great outdoors! You will learn how to set up a tent and an introduction to cooking outside, plus you will get to try some fun activities you can do while camping, like archery, mountain biking, hiking, geocaching, and more!
Registration is $90 for a family of up to four. Additional family members $5 each. One family per registration. For families greater than four, special arrangements are needed — please email
