Arizona Summer is a family film directed by Joey Travolta. The plot is about Brent Butler (Gemini Barnett), a wiser-than-his years youngster. A modern-day Tom Sawyer. 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 of quietly helping adolescents become confident young adults. In addition to the full gamut of camp activities, adventures, practical jokes, and conflict resolution there is the underlying theme that bolsters the importance of a positive father-son relationship.
