Tempe, AZ is part of the Phoenix metropolitan area, and as such is easily reachable from almost anywhere in the US. The camp venue is, in fact, only a 15-minute drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).
Tempe itself is home to Arizona State University (ASU) and a host of cutting-edge tech companies working on everything from biotech to solar power, so the population is young and energetic and there’s a vibrant nightlife. It’s also right in the middle of the 100,000 sq mi Sonoran Desert, so there’s excellent hiking and biking to be had, and no end of scenic drives.
We’re kicking the camp off on Wednesday and finishing up with an Open Mat on Sunday morning, so you’ll be able to fly in, spend a few days training/meeting new people/discovering new beers, and still be back home by Sunday night. No need to take too many vacation days off ;-) |
