FOSTERING LIFE EXPERIENCES
FOSTERING A SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE
Foster youth are just like every other kid – they want to experience life at its fullest. This is why we have created opportunities for all youth in the Arizona group home system access to fun, engaging and life changing experiences.
It all started with Cowboy Camp. For years Cowboy Camp was one of the most recognized annual events that youth in the foster group homes had the opportunity to attend. A day and a half on a working dude ranch experiencing the cowboy / cowgirl way of life. From UTV rides to horse feeding and horseback rides to the campfire chat, Cowboy Camp has been a staple for the foster youth of Arizona. In 2025 we rebranded and expanded Cowboy Camp to be Future Heroes Summer Camp in Payson, Arizona.
Fostering Heroes’ Future Heroes Summer Camp is a transformative experience for foster youth aged 13–18, providing a unique blend of personal growth, skill development, and outdoor adventure. Held over 2.5 days in the beautiful Northern Arizona wilderness, this camp is designed to equip teens with the tools they need to discover their strengths, build meaningful relationships, and plan for a bright future.
Through engaging workshops, career exploration activities, and classic camp fun like horseback riding, archery, and campfires, we help foster youth find their paths in life. This isn’t just a camp—it’s an opportunity to inspire confidence, ignite potential, and create lifelong memories.
In 2024 we dedicated ourselves to expanding the mission of Fostering Heroes to provide more frequent and engaging experiences that not only provide entertainment; but, provide important life skills like teamwork, creativity, communication and education; thus, Fostering Life Experiences was born.
From our Bold Athletics soccer and basketball camps and tournaments to our Namaste yoga / tai chi experience to our field trips to The Walter Hive, AZYouthforce and Skill Up Arizona to our music and art programs, we are delivering experiences to many of the foster youth in group homes they would never have a chance to be a part of.
We also offer everyday type life experiences all kids should have access to such as zoo trips, roller skating outings, play days at the park, sporting event outings, bowling and museum excursions…just to name a few!
Your support allows us to deliver these awesome life experience opportunities that these kids deserve.
