--Bonding, bunk beds and ... a dead bat? An oral history of Camp Tontozona, for 64 years an iconic portrait of Sun Devil Football (by Scott Bordow, ASU News/Aug. 2, 2024)

Sun Devil Football Head Coach Kenny Dillingham is bringing his team back to the iconic Camp Tontozona in 2024 from August 7-10, packing an interactive and engaging four-days of camp that will wrap with a Saturday morning scrimmage open to the public.

A place synonymous with Sun Devil Football, an annual visit to "Camp T" was a tradition started by legendary head coach Frank Kush back in 1959. Due to field turf renovations, COVID restrictions and weather conditions, the preseason practice session had taken a brief hiatus. Coach Dillingham made it a priority to bring back the ritual for the first time since 2019 when the crew visited in 2023.

#ACTIVATETHEVALLEY
Before you make the trip to Camp Tontozona (fantastic photo gallery from years past here) on Saturday (August 10) to watch Sun Devil Football from 9-11 a.m. (ish), here are some things to know...

///
We encourage you to print your roster from here and bring it up with you. To keep camp clean and be sustainable, we won't print massive amounts. Less for the team to clean up after the Saturday morning practice.

///
Parking will be tricky and we encourage carpooling at the highest levels. There simply isn't enough parking and parking on State Route 260 is tricky. Be prepared to walk. A cart service will be available, but there aren't enough carts for everyone at every moment, so thanks for your patience.

///
ADA parking is an option, but must have decal. 

///
There won't be free water and the camp is not built for a great concessions distribution, so plan accordingly and bring plenty of water. There will be concessions, but you are allowed to bring small coolers, etc.

///
Pets are not allowed for a variety of reasons, so thanks ahead for understanding. We don't want to turn anyone away, so please leave Fido and Fuzzy at home. We ask that you don't put our staff and those managing the event in a tough spott.

///
Please, no pop up tents. There isn't a lot of space, and not having them allows for easier views of Sun Devil touchdowns.

///
Understand that the team does have to clean up camp after the scrimmage on Saturday. While there will be some time for fans to greet the players and staff, the cleaning process for more than 150 Sun Devils will begin when the scrimmage is over.

///
No alcohol is allowed at Camp Tontozona. Again, please don't put staff in a tough situation.

///
The cabins and team areas are not accessible to the public. We ask you stay near the field. Just trust us we have 187 beds, but you don't need to see them or count them.
