The Stewart L. Udall Parks in Focus Program

Our Programs

Our programs include both year-round programs and summer or seasonal activities. Participants learn new skills and gain self-confidence through increasingly challenging activities. Current year-round programs run in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Tucson, Arizona (our flagship program).

Summer programs immerse 10 to 12 youth in a week-long camping trip to a national park or public land. We currently run summer programs at Glacier National Park, Montana; Yosemite National Park, California; Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona; and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan. > MORE
