Camp Colton is perfectly situated on the north side of the San Francisco Peaks outside of Flagstaff, Arizona. Our program provides an experiential approach to education and is an integral part of our local area. Camp provides students with knowledge and experience, enhancing their appreciation for the unique ecosystem of the San Francisco Peaks, and increasing overall awareness of the environment and conservation.
The local area is considered "high desert" and boasts a diversity of plant and animal life.  At about 7,000 feet above sea level, we are located in the largest ponderosa pine forest in North America. With mountains and trees surrounding the whole region, it is truly a beautiful location!

Flagstaff gets a touch of all four seasons which means perfect spring and summer weather, leaves changing in the fall, and just enough snow to experience a true winter. Flagstaff has skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and is surrounded by some of the world's natural wonders like the Grand Canyon, the red-rocks of Sedona, and the Painted Desert. 

As you head in any direction from Flagstaff, the rest of Northern Arizona folds itself into desert regions.  This is the home of the famed Saguaro Cactus and Roadrunner, as well as thousands of other species of flora and fauna.

Camp Colton is proud to make our home in such a diverse region that provides our students with views of ecosystems that they can't get in almost any other region of the world. We are lucky to be situated in an area that can help us teach strong values in outdoor and environmental education.
