TEMPE, Arizona—The Arizona State University football team, under the direction of sixth-year Head Coach Todd Graham, will make its annual trek to Camp Tontozona —ASU's iconic preseason football camp — on Sunday, July 30 through Saturday, August 5.
The stay at Camp Tontozona will culminate with the annual final practice on Saturday, August 5 at 9:00 a.m. The Sun Devils will return to the campus on Saturday afternoon.
The Sun Devil squad will travel to Camp Tontozona on Sunday, July 30, and practice there for the first time on Monday, July 31, in the morning. Practices while at Camp Tontozona will be once a day. There is no practice on Friday, August 4. If a previous day of practice at Camp Tontozona is lost due to inclement weather there could be a practice re-scheduled for Friday, August 4.
Sun Devil fans making the short trip to Camp Tontozona for any of the practices are reminded of these tips:
Mountains skirt the camp with water, contributing much of the beauty to the area with clear-running Tonto Creek just a moment's walk from the practice field.
Three man-sized waterfalls and clear-bottom swimming holes serve as refreshers to the Sun Devils. Wildlife is another prominent specialty of Tontozona; deer roaming the surrounding country and hawks circling the morning and evening skies are not uncommon sights.
Just minutes away by car are other attractions such as the spectacular Mogollon Rim and its breathtaking view and countryside that provide a haven for campers, horseback riders, hikers and picnickers.
