How many people can we bring?

Each school or student organization may bring up to 15 attendees (including adult chaperones).

Do I have to go with a group? What if I don't know anyone?

Plenty of students will be showing up without a group or team. Just make sure you’ve got a ride to/from camp! You’ll leave with plenty of new friends from around the state and life-long memories 🙂

How long is the event? When does it start and end?

Camp registration is from 4:00 – 6:00pm on Friday, August 7th. We leave camp at 1:30pm on Sunday, August 9th after lunch.

How much does it cost to attend?

All lodging, meals, workshops, and activities are provided at no cost.

The only thing you’ve got to take care of is…

Travel to the UCYC campground in Prescott (fuel & meals on the road)
Bring some snacks with you or purchase them at the camp store (optional)

We cover all the “real meals” and lodging though, starting from Dinner on Friday through lunch on Sunday.

Is travel covered?

Not by us. Many organizations have local travel included in their budgets though, so review your approved budget and/or check with your funder to help cover travel costs.

Is this a religious event?

Nope! Our hosting location, UCYC, is a Christian organization but this event is not religious. It’s open and inclusive to all beliefs.

Are there waivers?

Yes, there are two waivers that students and parents must sign.

Whether you’re a student participant, an adult chaperone, or volunteer. Make sure to do both so we have food and lodging for you!

Vive18 is the fastest growing youth prevention platform in the country and they’re based right here in Arizona! They’ve teamed up with AHCCCS and the amazing coalitions across AZ to put this on for you.

Does a chaperone need to be there?

All the chaperone spots are filled, so students can be dropped off for the weekend. No chaperones needed.
