Summer break is often a mix of excitement and "calendar Tetris" for working parents. You want your child to have an unforgettable summer filled with friendships and activity, but you also need a schedule that doesn't require you to be in three places at once. At Arizona Sunrays, we designed our summer camps to be the ultimate solution for your professional life and your child’s boundless energy.

Flexibility that truly adapts to your busy life

We know that a "one size fits all" schedule rarely works for families balancing corporate meetings, remote work, or multiple siblings. That’s why we offer a tiered enrollment system designed for maximum convenience.

  • Full-Day Camps: The gold standard for parents needing a full workday of coverage. Your child stays engaged from morning until late afternoon.
  • Half-Day Options: Ideal for younger children who might tire out or for families who have afternoon tutoring or swimming lessons elsewhere. (Only offered at our Carefree Hwy Location)
  • Extended Care (Early Bird & Late Stay): We understand that the "9 to 5" rarely starts at precisely 9. Our early drop-off and late-stay options provide that vital extra cushion so you aren't rushing through Phoenix traffic. (Only offered at our Phoenix, 32nd St Location)

The "Peace of Mind" Factor

There is a specific kind of mental load that comes from knowing your child is home on a screen or "hanging out" while you’re trying to focus on a high-stakes Zoom call. Arizona Sunrays replaces that parental guilt with total peace of mind. Your child isn't just "being watched"—they are burning energy in a safe, climate-controlled, professional facility.

Our curriculum is expertly curated to blend high-energy gymnastics, NinjaZone obstacles, creative dance, and organized play. When you arrive for pickup, you'll see a happy, physically exhausted child who has spent the day socializing and moving, ready for relaxed family evenings rather than managing pent-up energy.

Professionalism You Can Trust

Choosing Sunrays means trusting a team of safety-certified professionals dedicated to youth development. Our staff is trained to manage group dynamics with care, ensuring every child—from the shy beginner to the daring athlete—feels supported and secure. You can focus on your work or home responsibilities, confident that your child is in a safe environment that prioritizes their safety and well-being above all else.
