Summer Camps
[edit]The thickly forested, high-elevation terrain of Groom Creek is cooler in the summer than most places in Arizona, with a maximum high temperature averaging 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius) in July.[5] Because of this, there have been children's summer camps located in the area for many decades. As of 2025 these include:
- Camp Maripai (Girl Scouts, Arizona Cactus-Pine Council)[6][citation needed]
- Camp Wamatochick (Teen Round-up Ministries)[7]
- Camp Sky-Y (Valley of the Sun YMCA)[8]
- Friendly Pines Camp (Private)[9]
- Kamp Kipa (Phoenix Laestadian Lutheran Church)[10]
- Pine Summit Bible Camp (Non-profit/non-denominational Christian)[11]
