Get in on the camping fun with the Arizona State Parks and Trails award-winning Family Campout Program! Fall dates have been announced for the program that gives kids a break from electronics and introduces them to outdoor adventures.
The program is ideal for those new to camping but all are welcome to share in this weekend experience. Family Campouts may include fishing, archery, water activities, mountain biking, or hiking, depending on the date and park. Trained camp coordinators assist each camper with lessons on how to set up a tent, prepare food outside, build a fire, and work on a service project. The program fee is $90 for a family of up to four people. Additional family members are $5 each for up to six people. Sorry, children five and younger and pets cannot participate in this program.
