Kids camp 2025

Arizona Kids Camp is an experience like nothing else! We have a rich history (since 1948) of providing kids, families, and church groups a safe place to encounter God in a new way!

Kids (ages 7-12) will have four days and three nights of dynamic programmed activities, fun and creative team games, evening services with live worship, hilarious skits, and sound gospel-centered teaching. We intentionally partner with parents and churches in your children's spiritual formation and development.

Our prayer is for your kids to experience the abundance of joy that comes from a life surrendered to King Jesus, empowered by His Spirit, and personally responsible for His mission in the world. Thank you for trusting your kids to have an unforgettable experience with us at Arizona Kids Camp!

The value of a camp experience is not defined solely by our low sticker price. Every camp we offer can accommodate most schedules during busy summers. Small camp sizes (400 or less) offer more access to experienced kids leaders/ worship leaders/ pastors who teach, inspire, and truly care about the spiritual growth of each child. Most importantly, our camp environment is unashamedly rooted in the person and teachings of Jesus Christ.

We try our best to offer an affordable camp experience without sacrificing excellent food services, recreation, and programming. We are generous in blessing our camp speakers, leaders, and worship teams. We bring special guests from around the nation who want to keep coming back because they love the culture of Arizona Kids Camp. Out-of-state churches and non-denominational churches have joined our camps because they know our camp is affordable compared to other camps, and they know their students will encounter God. Our camp prices are still exceptional compared to other Christian camps in the area.

Discounts/Camp Scholarships

Our Ministry Network is committed to keeping the price of camp as low as possible, being sensitive to the fact that our target market will always be kids from low-income families. We have chosen to offer kids pastors/spouse free registration and dorm leaders a significant discount as an investment in our leaders. For kid campers, we offer registration at the lowest rate possible. There are no other discounts or scholarships offered. We do this so that church groups can set their own prices and build a financial aid/scholarship system within the church. Our prayer is that every student would be able to experience kids camp and that finances would not be the issue that keeps them from this experience. We encourage churches to register early and take advantage of the best rate.

Please contact our office at 602-343-4000 to speak with our administrative team if you have questions about your next steps in registering for kids camp.
