RAISING ARIZONA KIDS magazine was created to connect Valley families to local resources and share real-life stories about the challenges and joys of raising children in the Southwest. We publish a monthly print magazine and our digital and social media platforms meet parents where they are and when they need information. By providing the state's most comprehensive calendar of family activities and extensive resource directories, we save time for parents seeking family activities, schools, camps, birthday planning resources, youth sports activities, arts programs, academic enrichment options and much more. Each January, we publish the annual SCHOOLS, ETC. guide to Maricopa County schools and education resources. Each February, we host Camp Fair AZ, a chance for families to meet with local day camp directors and staff from overnight camps in Arizona and throughout the country. Each fall, we host a Special Needs Resource Fair to connect parents with local experts and service providers. RAISING ARIZONA KIDS has received numerous reporting and writing awards from the Arizona Press Club, particularly for work in the areas of education, health, arts, sports and social issues. Passion for editorial integrity and fostering strong community connections guide every decision we make in our mission to support and nurture local families.
