Fairmont Scottsdale Princess
Summer Camp is in session #AtthePrincess, as this sprawling Scottsdale resort’s hashtag heralds. All overnight stays get access to camp-themed activities, including poolside games, lagoon fishing, campfire storytelling, s’mores, dive-in movies and entertainment at the Arrowhead Point adventure land, from mini-golf to bracelet-making. If your camping approach skews more Troop Beverly Hills, the Privado Villas boast the luxurious Summer Glamp-In package, which includes a camp-themed welcome amenity, an in-room glamping tent setup for kids, a dedicated check-in area distinct from the rest of the resort and personalized service. Starting Memorial Day weekend, there will be fireworks shows on Saturdays at 9 p.m.
