Our Location

Camp Magic in the Mountains

Welcome to your summer home in the pines! St. Joseph’s Youth Camp is tucked away in the Coconino National Forest, just 25 minutes from Flagstaff — but it feels like a whole different world. With wide-open skies, crisp mountain air, and towering pine trees all around, it’s the perfect place for kids to unplug, try new things, and just be kids.

At 7,000 feet elevation, summer here means cool mornings, cozy cabins, and nights filled with stars. Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, the magic hits the moment you arrive.
