About Us
"An Arizona Tradition since 1941..."
"...turning childhood moments into life's rich memories."
Friendly Pines Camp is an independent, family-owned sleep-away summer camp for all children ages 5-14. For four generations, we have been providing an unforgettable experience to campers from across Arizona, the nation, and even the world!
A well-established program, steeped in history and tradition
From horseback riding, to hiking, to canoeing, to ropes course, to arts & crafts, to ax throwing, to sewing, to swimming…there’s not much campers CAN’T do at Friendly Pines! Our highly qualified counselors help provide a well rounded and FUN experience for all, where campers develop life skills that will last them a lifetime. We are accredited through the American Camp Association (ACA), and we are also a member of the Western Association for Independent Camps (WAIC).
A summer oasis nestled in the cool mountain pines near Prescott, AZ
The camp is located in the Bradshaw Mountains just south of Prescott, AZ, 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 6,300′ and enjoy comfortable warm summers and mild winters. Much of camp property borders the Prescott National Forest.
Our camp property is located on ancestral lands of all tribes and bands within the Yavapai-Apache Nations. We acknowledge the people who owned the land before us and are grateful for their stewardship.
