What happens

Arizona Summer is a 2004 American family film directed by Joey Travolta. The plot is about Brent Butler (Gemini Barnett), a wiser-than-his years youngster described as "Tom Sawyer in the 21st century". The majority of the story takes place at a boys and girls camp owned and operated by Travers (Lee Majors), who has spent a lifetime quietly helping adolescents become confident young adults. In addition to camp activities, adventures, practical jokes, and conflict resolution there is an underlying theme that bolsters the importance of a positive father-son relationship. Arizona Summer was primarily filmed at Saguaro Lake Ranch in Phoenix, Arizona and was almost titled "Saguaro Ranch Summer". Additional scenes were filmed in Prescott, Arizona.
