A Fond Farewell & An Exciting Future for FPC
October 31, 2024
Dear FPC campers, families, and staff, I hope your October is going well! It’s Megan, popping in with a personal update: I have made the difficult yet exciting decision to step down as Camp Director of Friendly Pines Camp. This decision is one I have carefully considered for over a year, and while it brings a big change for me personally, I know in my heart it’s the right path for me to follow. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my time as an FPC camper and staff member, it’s the importance and ability of getting to know my inner self, honing the skills I learned at camp, and making (sometimes difficult) choices for myself.

What Our Camp Families Say
"This is the third year our son has attended Friendly Pines and each year he gets more excited for his session to start! All the activities, friendships and memories he makes are the greatest things about camp! Just being a kid and getting outdoors to do activities and try new things is amazing! Thank you counselors and staff for always making camp so much fun!"
Liberty S.Oro Valley, AZ 
"We have been a fan of Friendly Pines Camp for over a decade. All three of our children have consistently had a high quality summer camp experience at Friendly Pines. Memories from camp bring smiles to my children’s faces regularly and we often hear about the delicious meals when eating dinner. The atmosphere at FPC is warm and welcoming and the activities encourage new skills and improve upon learned skills. The camp leadership team is excellent and they strive to create an outstanding safe experience for everyone at camp. We highly recommend FPC!"
Monica O.Phoenix, AZ 
"We were so happy with Friendly Pines! Our son had the BEST time - he seemed genuinely shocked at how many activities he was able to participate in during his week at camp. We love that he was exposed to so many new adventures and that he had a chance to make so many friends. He was talking about next summer at Friendly Pines before we even made it home!"
Kara A.Scottsdale, AZ 
"Our Bella was a second generation camper this year. I love that I can now share my experiences with her and see her make her own memories. I highly recommend this camp to anyone who appreciates: tradition, values and good old fashioned fun."
Chantal U.Yuma, AZ 
"Summer 2021 was our first session at FPC and it will now be an annual summer tradition. The kids had such a positive, fun experience. Thank you for the great memories!"
Elizabeth P.Scottsdale, AZ 
"We were a little anxious at first as this would be both our kids first time away from home for a whole week and without electronics. But, both our kids loved it so much! My daughter, in particular (12 yrs old) really loved it - everything from the bonds she formed with her cabin-mates to the songs to the activities. We're already looking forward to next year!"
Kimberly H.Mesa, AZ 
"My daughter absolutely loved camp! She loved the freedom of being away from home and in nature and never felt worried about being away from home. Everyone made her feel safe. She made a ton of new friends and had many new experiences. She also said the food was the best she ever had (I am trying not to be insulted by this comment LOL). This was her first time at any sleep away camp and she cannot wait to go back! She said it was the best experience of her life!"
Patricia M.Tucson, AZ 
"Our daughter has been going to FPC for four years now and we have also attended family camp. There is so much thought and energy put into every single detail, from registration, to pre-camp checklists, activities, food, safety, communications, the entire experience. Everyone is kind and enthusiastic. As soon as camp is done for the summer our daughter is already planning for next year."
