The Town of Fountain Hills Community Services hosted a group of kids for a mountain getaway at Camp Colley from July 18 through July 22.

There were 52 kids participating in the week outdoors with 31 attending the three-day camp and 21 staying on for the full five days.

The majority of the kids were from Fountain Hills but a handful from nearby communities got word of the activity and joined in the fun.

Camp Colley, operated by the Arizona Parks and Recreation Association, lies at about 6,400 feet elevation in the National Forest off SR 87 between Payson and Winslow.

It offers kids the opportunity for learning and participating in outdoor activities such as archery, canoeing, swimming, hiking, outdoor campfires and horseback riding.
