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".{{Cite news |last=Bump |first=Rachelle |date=September 1, 2002 |title="Family movie production has roots in the Prescott area" |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u0wLAAAAIBAJ&lpg=PA12&dq=%22Arizona%20Summer%22&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q=%22Arizona%20Summer%22&f=false |url-status= |access-date=February 8, 2025 |work=The Daily Courier |pages=1A, 22A}} 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.
