AZOutdoorAdventures

Our Mission: "To enrich and positively impact children's lives through fun outdoor activities in the peace and quiet of nature."

For over 20 years AOA has been serving children ages 9-14 who have never had the opportunity to experience the peace and quiet of nature, but often spend the long, hot summer in the city where idleness and boredom can lead to destructive choices. We partner with established youth organizations who will bring 8-10 children for a 3-5 day outdoor adventure. AOA provides the tent camps which are situated in the breathtaking back country of Arizona’s White Mountains. All camping equipment, food and necessary licenses are supplied at no charge. Activities include fishing, hiking, backpacking, jeep rides, outdoor cooking and horseback riding, to name a few. A series of camps are provided from May through October of each year.
