Frequently Asked Questions

Who can attend this event?

The event is open to all students in grades 6–12 across Arizona who are interested in leadership, personal growth, and making a difference in their communities.

How many people can we bring?

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

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.

Do I have to come for all three days?

YES! This is a highly anticipated event, so if you can’t make the entire event please do not sign up. That way someone else can enjoy the event all weekend.

What should I bring with me?

Comfortable Clothes
Closed toes shoes (crocs do NOT count)
Pillow
Blanket
Bath towel
Toiletries (Toothbrush, Shampoo, Deodorant)
Sunscreen
Reusable Water Bottle
Notebook & Pencil/Pen
Flashlight

Do I need to be part of a school club or group to attend?

No. While school clubs and coalitions are encouraged to attend, any middle or high school students who want to grow as a leader or create change are welcome!

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!

Who is hosting this?

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?

Any “groups” or “clubs” need to have a chaperone to attend. Students without a group who can drive themselves (age 16-18) do not need a chaperone to attend.

If you have a younger student who wants to attend, but they do not have a group, please contact Jake White (480) 239-4355 so he can place them with a group and chaperone.

What is the last day to sign up?

The deadline to sign up is on July 7th, one month before the event.
