Summer Camps in Phoenix

Best Summer Camps in Phoenix & Scottsdale

Phoenix Valley camps split into three real categories: desert-nature programs (Desert Botanical Garden, Boyce Thompson Arboretum), architecture and design (Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West), and music/adventure (PCM at Phoenix Conservatory of Music, adventure programs in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve). The heat drives most programs to start early — many wrap by 1pm.

Filter below by age, price, or neighborhood. Phoenix registration typically opens in January or February. Half-day AM options fill fastest given the summer heat.
