February 27 - March 1, 2025
— 7th annual outdoor excursion —
Man Camp is a three-day camping trip in the Arizona desert, designed for fellowship, adventure, and spiritual growth. Enjoy time away from the daily grind, with devotions and great conversations that help build lasting friendships. We’ll sleep in tents, cook over open fires, go four-wheeling, and compete in marksmanship. It’s a fantastic opportunity, so don’t miss out!

BASICS
Who: Adult men of PURC and guests, 18+
What: Camping, fellowship, shooting, loafing, eating, off-roading, and exploration!

Theme: TBD
Cost: Meals provided at no cost. $100 Fee for guests.
DETAILS
Weather: We expect cool days and chilly nights. We recommend gear that keeps you comfortable during both.
Firewood: some is provided. But bring a package, if able. We’d hate to run out!
Gear: Bring your own camping/sleeping gear, chair(s), etc.
Water: Bring 1-2 gallons of water per-person, per day! For you, and for the kitchen!
Weapons: Safety will be important for all of us. No shooting in camp. Competition on Saturday MORNING.
Adult beverages: Before offering drinks, bear in mind that some are underage and others wish to abstain. Let’s hold one another accountable to stay well within moderation (Eph 5:18, “do not be drunk with wine but filled with the Holy Spirit”.)
Off-Roading: There is a lot to explore in the area we plan to make camp. Some areas can be accessed in a 4WD pickup but much of it will require a vehicle that is more capable off-road like a Jeep, UTV, ATV, or dirt bike.
Menu: Coming soon…

Directions to Man Camp
9.6 miles South of Superior, AZ
GPS LOCATION: 33°09'40.7"N 111°03'34.0"W
IMPORTANT! Don’t just follow Google blindly!
Some mapping apps wrongly direct you to turn off Az-177 early onto Cliffside Rd. Instead, you need to go a little further to N. Battle Axe Rd and drive for approximately 2 miles down a wide gravel road (shown yellow). It is easy to drive. Turn right on the first road after the cattle pens. This road is more narrow and sandy but we were able to drive on it without using 4x4. The camp will be approximately 0.3 miles down that road on the right side. Cell service does not exist at the campsite itself but there are places on Battle Axe Rd where up Verizon/T-Mobile coverage is possible if communication is critical.
Make sure to download offline maps BEFORE you lose cell service outside of Superior. The saved data will bring you right to the location. We will also post sIgns along the way.
