Since 1949, St. Joseph’s Youth Camp has provided summers of fun and adventure for thousands of kids. As a traditional youth camp and nonprofit organization, St. Joseph’s Youth Camp provides youth ages 7 to 17 with a week-long overnight opportunity to get outdoors, learn from nature, and have FUN!
Located just 23 miles southeast of Flagstaff, our 19-acre Camp is nestled within the Coconino National Forest at Mormon Lake. Temperatures at this rustic overnight camp average just 79 degrees and offers a refreshing change from Arizona’s hot summers.
Unlike other summer camps, St. Joseph’s Youth Camp enrollment is limited to just 60-80 Campers per week!
Campers receive more individual attention with Camper to Counselor ratios of just 4 to 1.
All Staff members are background checked and certified with CPR, First Aid, and AED Training.
Each week also includes an onsite Camp Nurse available 24/7.
Weekly program activities include horseback riding, kayaking, zip-line course (Teen Week Only), trail hiking, archery, shelter building, astronomy activities, insect and animal discovery and education, campfire and telescope nights, arts & crafts, outdoor volleyball, tetherball, kickball, basketball, and soccer, indoor foosball, checkers, chess, board games and so much more!
A week of Camp includes all lodging and meals, roundtrip transportation from Phoenix, a Camp T-Shirt, and memories that last a lifetime!
