October at AZPVA: Fall Camp, Middle School Clinic & Reno
Fall Camp is three weeks away, we’re restarting middle school clinic (if we hit five athletes), and Reno registration is still open. Here’s what’s happening at AZPVA.
Fall Camp | October 24–25, 2026
Fall Camp is our concentrated two-day training weekend in Queen Creek—progressions, video, and jump sessions designed to sharpen technique as we move toward indoor and spring competition. Open to any and all skill levels (typically ages ~12–18).
Camp runs at Arizona Pole Vault Academy, 23238 S. Via Del Arroyo, Queen Creek.
Commuter: $399 — camp, lunch, and dinner. Overnighter: $599 — camp, all meals, and Starkey Ranch lodging (overnight spots are limited).

Winter Camp | December 29–30, 2026
Winter Camp returns Dec 29–30 with the same format and pricing—a strong holiday weekend of coaching before indoor and high school seasons heat up.
