We are a residential summer camp for all boys and girls ages 6-13. Friendly Pines Camp is a family-owned, independent camp. The camp is accredited through the American Camp Association (ACA) and a member of the Western Association for Independent Camps (WAIC).

During the rest of the year Friendly Pines Camp rents its facilities to a wide variety of groups for retreats, conferences, and other gatherings.

The camp located in the Bradshaw Range just south of Prescott, Arizona, which is about 2 hours northwest of Phoenix, about 2 hours southwest of Flagstaff, and about an hour west of Sedona. We are at an elevation of about 6300 feet and enjoy comfortable warm summers and mild winters. Much of camp property borders the Prescott National Forest.

As bookends to our summer, we also host a few special health needs camps. Camp Not-A-Wheeze is organized by the American Lung Association of Arizona for campers with moderate to severe asthma. After that, we welcome the Arizona Diabetes Association and run Camp AZDA, a camp for children and teenagers with Type 1 diabetes.
