Many people like to know about the staff and people behind the facilities in which they are establishing a relationship.  We know you will feel "at home" at The Performing Arts Center of Northern Arizona, Inc., Arizona's best performng arts camp for youth and conference/retreat center.
 
 
 
 

Our Business Philosophy
The objective of our camp/conference/retreat center is to provide a high quality facility and curriculum, plus reliable service for our campers.  We hope you will enjoy visiting our web site and sharing our story as much as we enjoyed sharing with you.
 
Due to the overall decline in school programs in the area of the arts, the Performing Arts Center of Northern Arizona, Inc. provides music, dance, technology, theatre, visual arts and performing arts specific to the learner.  Students grade 3 through college may enroll.
 
At the conclusion of each two week camp session, parents, friends, and relatives will enjoy the performances of promising students as they present shows to remember.  BRAVO!
 
 

Our Endeavor
This is where you can learn about our project and its history.  A comprehensive Business Plan is available for your review.  We have been involved in providing top quality musical performance education for many years in Phoenix, (and now the Verde Valley of AZ), and are excited to finally have reached the goals set before us. The work toward opening the camp is in place, we now need land and the physical site to come into reality.  Taking our business to the web makes the process even more exciting.  You may become a financial supporter and may share this project with others as you enjoy this web site.
For this project, we know that we are at the very hardest place.  The infra-structure and planning/education portions have been completed, (even some staff and some faculty are in place).   We now must acquire the land and begin the physical development.  With the help of many, we feel certain that the necessary support will become a reality.  We continue to walk by faith and believe that this is exactly what we are supposed to be doing with the skills and gifts we have been given.  Specific gifts for land purchase and other needs are listed.  Supporters throughout Arizona must step up and help. 
Please, won't you consider becoming a part of this worthwhile project?  Your financial support is needed. 
The overall project is a $13 million project.  We are in the process of qualifying for a Bond--but our start up/development costs are enormous.  Your help is certainly needed!  Thanks for any amount you can contribute to help take this worthwhile project to the next level.  Please share this need with others who may become financial supporters.
Research tells us that when students are exposed to the arts they demonstrate higher SAT scores than students without the arts in their lives.  Also, we all would agree that certain "gifts" are real and it is heartbreaking to imagine gifted students growing up without the opportunities needed to develop special gifts in the area of the arts. 
MUSIC BRIDGES, an additional program for the Medically Fragile and Special Needs Learner provides Performing Arts Experiences for learners with special needs. 

Please, won't you help make this a reality?

Students and Arizona need this worthwhile project.

Our Employees
Employees play an important role in any endeavor.  We have chosen staff and faculty completely committed to positive leadership and example.  Additional staff will be chosen with the same strict standards.
We plan to conduct special session camps for special education students.  We believe that each and every student with a desire to attend a performing arts camp should have such an opportunity.
We have a scholarship program in place.
The Pac-Naz chef is not a "camp cook", but a real chef!  Providing great food is a big part of providing a top-notch facility.  We are delighted to have such a chef a part of the staff of PAC-NAZ.  Chef Darryl Tingler, founder of AZ Culinary of the Arts Foundation has joined the Pac-Naz team in offering culinary courses to those enrolled in the Culinary Arts Foundation school, as well as leading the overall food services for Pac-Naz.  The Culinary Foundation is also a 501 c 3 AZ non-profit.  We are delighted to offer the Pac-Naz opportunity to promising new chefs.
