What is “Nature in Your Backyard” Family Overnight Camp all about?

Did someone say S’MORES?

Escape the heat with us to the cool pines at ADA-accessible Whispering Hope Ranch, located northeast of Payson, AZ near Christopher Creek!

Forecast for this weekend is low 80’s for the daytime high and low 50’s at night!

This collaborative and welcoming overnight camping experience, supported by our crew and camp partners every step of the way. From setting up your tent together to cooking over the campfire, we make sure everyone gets to learn and practice new outdoor skills and share their camping savviness. Don’t have a tent? Let us know! Limited tents available on first-come, first serve basis.

While camping is fun in itself, we’re doing this EmpoweRanch-style! Families will grow and learn together with hands-on enrichment with our team, animals, outdoor recreation, nature exploration, camp crafts, and more! On Saturday, we’ll have a special visit from a local forest ranger who will teach us all about fire safety and the forest!

Families are responsible for bringing their food and gear. ADA accessible bathrooms and showers available. Parents/guardians are fully responsible for their children at all times while at family camp.

Following registration, we will send an itinerary, suggested packing list, camp meal planning tips, and more.

For the safety and well-being of all involved, please arrange for care of your pets at home while you’re at camp. Working service dogs welcome.

We can’t wait to camp with you and your family in the pines!
