BIG NEWS! That's right - it's official! It would be impossible to wait until Summer 2027 for our next spark of the Camp: Destination Magic, leading us to announce this year's WINTER CAMP PROGRAM!

Winter Camp promises to bring the best of Camp: Destination for each day it is in session, and make sure your child's Winter Break is spent the way that it should - having fun, making memories, and celebrating all of the excitement that makes being a kid the BEST thing on Earth!

This year's Winter Camp Program is in session from Monday, December 28th - Thursday, December 31st, at Temple Beth Sholom of the East Valley (our Summer Location!). Open to campers in Pre-K - 8th Grade, this year's Winter Camp offers full-day programming, along with Extended Care Options, and - perhaps most importantly, chances to save big with a referral discount!

Due to the nature of Winter Break Plans & Experiences, Winter Camp offers both a Daily & Weekly Sign-Up Option, with Sibling Discounts for those with more than one child who sign up for our Weekly Rate. So - with so much flexibility & so many options, there's no reason Winter Camp cannot be a good fit for everyone!

Registration opens on Monday, September 7th at www.campdestination.org. In the meantime - stay tuned with our website & social media for more information, and reach out to [email protected] or (602)-456-0161 for more information.

We cannot wait to see you at Winter Camp!

The has officially come to a close!

We cannot believe how quickly the past 8 weeks have flown by, and within those 8 weeks, how much magic, how many memories, & how much fun has come to define Summer 2026 & the 12th Season of Camp: Destination. We are overwhelmed with emotion as we look back on a summer full of the same community which has defined the integrity of our program since Day One, yet filled with so many new members, spaces, programs, experiences, & opportunities for all to experience. This summer was truly one-of-a-kind and it was our PRIVILEGE to take part!

While Summer 2026 may be complete - this is not a goodbye from Camp: Destination. In fact, far from it - as at Camp: Destination, we say it is never a "Goodbye," but just a "See You Later." Our compass logo signifies one thing - that no matter where you are, where you go, and what you choose to take part in, one thing is for certain: you will always have a home at Camp: Destination.

If there is one ask that we have at this time, it is to let us know how YOU felt about this summer. Whether this be taking our End-of-Summer Survey (as we have a Camper Survey & L.I.T. Survey), or leaving a positive review about Camp: Destination, we are always looking to spread the word about our program and refine it to be as best as it can be. We need your help to make this possible!

Thank you again for participating in this truly unforgettable journey - it was dynamic, it was meaningful, it was fun, and most of all, it was Camp: Destination!

WEEKLY RECAP: SPECIAL EDITION | SUMMER 2026 WRAP!

Do you know about the L.I.T. Program? An acronym for "Leaders-in-Training," the L.I.T. Program works with those entering 10th - 12th Grade to develop leadership skills, while simultaneously fostering cultural development & positive role modeling for all campers within the Camp: Destination Community.

This summer, L.I.T.'s were tasked with determining what their, "Mark of a Leader" would be - after discussing how leaders make a mark & lasting imprint on all spaces which they take the lead of! The 2026 L.I.T.'s chose to start a brand-new tradition - the Weekly Recap, in which they recap all the happenings, events, & excitement of the previous week at Camp: Destination!

With the success of the Weekly Recap, our L.I.T.'s decided to culminate the summer with a Special End-of-Summer Recap, featuring highlights of each week at Camp: Destination, the reveal of our Camp: Destination Mural, and a promise for more L.I.T. Excitement to come in future summers.

This has been one of the positive strides forward taken by our L.I.T.'s this summer, and the Weekly Recap has served as one of many marks which our L.I.T.'s have made on the quality & spirit of Camp: Destination in Summer 2026. As we say, the L.I.T.'s set the culture of camp - and with such awesome leaders, it's no surprise why our culture was as phenomenal as it was!

Check out this installment of the Weekly Recap overviewing all things about Summer 2026, also available on the Camp: Destination YouTube Channel & big thanks to our L.I.T.'s for making the absolutely incredible!

Just as we conclude every summer, the Closing Ceremony included awards for all campers, L.I.T.'s, and staff who partook in making Summer 2026 incredible. Our counselors worked together to brainstorm awards to reflect the contributions of each & every camper to the , and gave them a certificate to remember their role in making our 12th Season at Camp: Destination nothing short of incredible.

While we thought the fun would end with just our campers, our L.I.T.'s took it on their own accord to create awards for our counselors & staff, and thank them for the hard work & time which they poured into ensuring the was a place where all could have fun. We could not think of a better way to celebrate our community - thank you L.I.T.'s for making this possible!

Shortly after our Awards Ceremony, the officially concluded, and we said goodbye to Summer 2026. While our 12th Season may officially be over, at Camp: Destination, it is never a goodbye, but a "See You Later!" - there was nothing more refreshing, fulfilling, or meaningful than hearing more campers speak with excitement about Summer 2027 than with sadness about our current camp program coming to a close.

We could not be more grateful for each & every camper, family, & community member who joined Camp: Destination for Summer 2026 and played their part in ensuring this summer would be incredible. The quality, the excitement, & the love of the would not have been possible without the contributions of each & every person involved - and we could not be more proud to have such a phenomenal group to call our Camp: Destination Family.

We'll see you next summer for our 13th Season at Camp: Destination!

As a part of our Last Day Programming, we brought a brand-new Camp: Destination Project to life: the Cement Stepping Stones!

With some mixed concrete & pie tins, campers each got to make their very own Garden Stone with real concrete & beads of all backgrounds. Getting to fill up a Pie Tin with concrete, even in the Rainy Weather, and decorate with their name, "USA" outlines, beads, pennies, seashells, rocks, and more - who knew we had all these toys, and who knew they could be put to such good use!?

And - it was a last day miracle! As we say, "It always rains on the last day of camp," and with the rain of Summer 2026, we weren't sure our concrete was going to dry in time for pick-up. But those last few hours of sunshine proved us wrong, and every camper got to come home with their final piece of memorabilia to reflect on Summer 2026!
