LIT & CIT SESSIONS
LIT/CIT SESSIONS
Our LIT and CIT programs are for campers who have “aged out” of our traditional overnight program. Both programs are reserved for returning campers—those who have previously attended Friendly Pines Camp’s overnight summer camp. Attendance at school programs, Family Camp, or any other non-summer overnight stays does not qualify.
LIT = Leader in Training. These are usually 15 year old former campers. In this two-week program, LITs will receive an introduction to the responsibilities and duties of being a Counselor at Friendly Pines.
CIT = Counselor in Training. These are 16 year olds who have usually completed the LIT year. Their session is a month long, and they participate more in the leading of activities and have more cabin management responsibilities.
To learn more about both programs, head over to this webpage.

FAMILY CAMP SESSIONS
2025 Family Camp session info will be available soon!
In the meantime, feel free to check out our Family Camp Info page.
AVAILABILITY AS OF 11/12/2025 at 8:00 AM
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE MANUALLY UPDATE THIS WEBPAGE, SO THE INFORMATION MAY NOT ALWAYS BE CURRENT/ACCURATE! It’s always a good idea to login to the registration portal and see which sessions have availability.
In the enrollment portal, if you see a “Waitlist Available” tag for your desired session, that means the session is full; you can add the session to the shopping cart, and upon checkout, your camper will be added to that session’s waitlist. Click here for more Waitlist Info.

Some sessions will have waitlists. Particularly sessions that are in ‘desirable’ times during the summer, or offer a specific program (like Adventure Trails, our horse-specific session).
The likelihood of getting into a session you’re waitlisted for is hard to call; there are so many factors that go into waitlist movement. It depends on the year, the session, and how much before or after the cancellation deadlines (January 1st, March 1st, and/or May 1st) we’re at. We’ve had waitlists in the past that had 15 people who all eventually were able to get into the session, but conversely, we’ve had waitlists of one person that never had any movement. So determining how likely your camper is to get in to a specific session is really not always possible to determine.
There is no penalty for waitlisting, nor is there any money that has to be put down to reserve a spot on the waitlist. If you’re at all interested in potentially getting into a specific session, it is in your best interest to at least get on the waitlist. We will email all campers on a given waitlist first, should spots open up. You can register as normal; upon ‘check out’, you will select the waitlist option right in your shopping cart. You can also enroll for a session that does have availability AND the session that you’re actually interested in but has a waitlist; if a spot opens, we will be able to manually switch your registration. That way you can still get a spot somewhere during the summer.
PLEASE NOTE: FPC reserves the right to close any and all waitlists at any point during the enrollment season. If you’re at all interested in a session, whether it’s waitlisting or not, do not hesitate to register today!
If you have questions about the waitlist or what position you’re currently in, please contact info@friendlypines.com or call us at (928) 445-2128.
We usually open enrollment for the following summer in September each year! It’s in your best interest to sign up for our email list so you don’t miss out when we announce open enrollment!
The earlier you enroll, the better! Some of our sessions may be full within days of enrollment opening.
To sign up for a waitlisting session, you’ll actually register as normal; use the “ENROLL NOW” button at the top of this page. Upon ‘check out’, you will select the waitlist option right in your shopping cart.
Registering for a waitlist is best if you do it yourself through our online portal, as opposed to you simply emailing or calling us asking to put your camper on a waitlist. However, if you run into any problems during the online sign up process, you can of course call us!
You may sign up for as many or as few session waitlists as you like.
The likelihood of getting into a session you’re waitlisted for is hard to call; there are so many factors that go into waitlist movement. It kind of depends on the year, the session, and how much before or after the cancellation deadline (March/May 1st) we’re at. We’ve had waitlists in the past that had 15 people who all eventually were able to get into the session, but conversely, we’ve had waitlists of three that never had any movement. So determining how likely your camper is to get in to a specific session is really not always possible to determine.
Friendly Pines will contact you if a spot opens up for your camper.
We will first send an email to the address you used to register for the waitlist to notify you of the open spot. If you haven’t received an email from us, then a spot has not yet opened and your camper is still on the waitlist. If we need to, we may call you to make sure you got our email.
You will have 24 hours to accept the spot before we move on to the next camper on the list. Please reply to the email we send you to accept the spot. We prefer an email acceptance to a phone call, purely so we have the open slot acceptance in writing with an easily identifiable paper trail.
Deposit payment will be due upon acceptance of a spot.
- Before March 1st: Initial Deposit Due
- After March 1st, before May 1st: Initial + Secondary Deposit Due
- After May 1st: Final payments will be due within 7 days of accepting the open slot
If you’re interested to see what number your camper is on a given list, please email info@friendlypines.com. Be sure to include your camper’s first & last name in the email request so we can look them up.
FPC will email campers on a given waitlist first, should spots open up. After we’ve exhausted our waitlist campers, we will open the available session to the general public for anyone to enroll.
There is no penalty for waitlisting, nor is there any money that has to be put down to reserve a spot on the waitlist. If you’re at all interested in potentially getting into a specific session, it is in your best interest to at least get on the waitlist.
SESSION DIFFERENCES
All of our sessions are virtually the same; food and lodging is included, campers live in a cabin of similarly aged children, and they participate in a variety of different activities as well as evening activities like the Overnight Campout, Round Dance, Carnival, Talent Show, and Rendezvous.
All sessions, unless otherwise specified, are for children ages 6-14.
Two-Week Sessions:
A 13-night program where campers ages 6-14 get to create their own daily schedule by choosing from our 30+ activity offerings. This is our most popular program, as the children get a real taste of the camp magic, and is a great option even for first-time campers! Our most popular sessions.
ONE-Week Sessions:
A 6-night program similar to our two-week session, just in half the time; still available for campers aged 6-14. One-week campers do have some specific one-week activities (horses, target sports, ropes course), but also do get mixed in with the two-week campers for most other activities (hiking, water sports, arts & crafts, etc.). A popular session with our first-time campers.
The names of the sessions (Pioneer vs. Explorer or Trailseeker A vs. Trailseeker B) are simply used to determine the specific session in question; there is no difference between any of the weeks each session name represents.
PLEASE NOTE: All one week-campers live with other one-week campers. i.e. if friends want to be in the same cabin as one another, they must be enrolled in the same type of session. We cannot house a camper signed up for a two-week session with a camper here for a one-week session.
Adventure TRAILS Session:
A 13-night program for campers, ages 10-16, that focuses on horseback riding, horsemanship, and horse care. Campers that love horses, have extensive prior experience with horses, and want to ride all day, every day usually go for this session. Campers who like horses, but don’t have much experience with them should choose a different two-week session; these campers can still sign up for plenty of horse activities! Very limited enrollment; Previous horse riding experience & extensive time spent around horses necessary for participation.
Adventure Trails campers will operate on a schedule which alternates with each day. One for which is a horse-focused day and one day for which campers submit activity preferences before their arrival, and an activity schedule is created for them.
“Why does this session cost more than a regular two-week session?” This is a HIGHLY specialized session, with extremely limited enrollment. Extra planning, staff, and resources go into making the Adventure Trails session a success, and our rate reflects this.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Campers can cancel and receive a refund, but the amount is dependent on the date of cancellation. If you cancel before January 1st, your camper will receive a full refund, less the $100 per camper cancellation fee. As we progress further into the spring, more of the tuition becomes non-refundable and serves as the “cancellation fee” in the event of a cancellation. See the table below to see cancellation fee/non-refundable tuition amount by date.
| CANCELLATION DEADLINE | CANCELLATION FEE |
|---|---|
SEPTEMBER 1st – DECEMBER 31st |
$100 per camper |
JANUARY 1ST – FEBRUARY 28TH |
Initial deposit becomes non-refundable (per camper) |
MARCH 1ST – APRIL 30TH |
BOTH Deposits (Initial
+ Secondary; per camper) become non-refundable |
MAY 1ST |
The ENTIRE Tuition Balance
(per camper) is due & becomes non-refundable |
Purchase Tuition Insurance here!
Please see our Family Camp info page for cancellation fees for those sessions.

- Another example: if a family enrolls two children for Session 1 (2 wks), and a third camper for Pioneer A (1 wk), the second camper would receive a $210 discount and the third camper would receive a $130 discount, totaling $340 off the total household statement.
| DISCOUNT | PER SESSION |
|---|---|
-$210 |
for siblings in a TWO-WEEK session |
-$130 |
for siblings in a ONE-WEEK session or ADVENTURE TRAILS |

FINANCIAL AID
We are sometimes able to offer camperships. Typically, when we do award camperships, they cover a portion of tuition (as opposed to the entire tuition cost).
There is an application process for those seeking campership money. You are welcome to email info@friendlypines.com at any time requesting the application information.
WAITLISTS
Some sessions will have waitlists. Particularly sessions that are in ‘desirable’ times during the summer, or offer a specific program (like Adventure Trails, our horse-specific session).
The likelihood of getting into a session you’re waitlisted for is hard to call; there are so many factors that go into waitlist movement. It depends on the year, the session, and how much before or after the cancellation deadlines (January 1st, March 1st, and/or May 1st) we’re at. We’ve had waitlists in the past that had 15 people who all eventually were able to get into the session, but conversely, we’ve had waitlists of one person that never had any movement. So determining how likely your camper is to get in to a specific session is really not always possible to determine.
There is no penalty for waitlisting, nor is there any money that has to be put down to reserve a spot on the waitlist. If you’re at all interested in potentially getting into a specific session, it is in your best interest to at least get on the waitlist. We will email all campers on a given waitlist first, should spots open up. You can register as normal; upon ‘check out’, you will select the waitlist option right in your shopping cart. You can also enroll for a session that does have availability AND the session that you’re actually interested in but has a waitlist; if a spot opens, we will be able to manually switch your registration. That way you can still get a spot somewhere during the summer.
PLEASE NOTE: FPC reserves the right to close any and all waitlists at any point during the enrollment season. If you’re at all interested in a session, whether it’s waitlisting or not, do not hesitate to register today!
If you have questions about the waitlist or what position you’re currently in, please contact info@friendlypines.com or call us at (928) 445-2128.
We usually open enrollment for the following summer in September each year! It’s in your best interest to sign up for our email list so you don’t miss out when we announce open enrollment!
The earlier you enroll, the better! Some of our sessions may be full within days of enrollment opening.
To sign up for a waitlisting session, you’ll actually register as normal; use the “ENROLL NOW” button at the top of this page. Upon ‘check out’, you will select the waitlist option right in your shopping cart.
Registering for a waitlist is best if you do it yourself through our online portal, as opposed to you simply emailing or calling us asking to put your camper on a waitlist. However, if you run into any problems during the online sign up process, you can of course call us!
You may sign up for as many or as few session waitlists as you like.

Friendly Pines will contact you if a spot opens up for your camper.
We will first send an email to the address you used to register for the waitlist to notify you of the open spot. If you haven’t received an email from us, then a spot has not yet opened and your camper is still on the waitlist. If we need to, we may call you to make sure you got our email.
You will have 24 hours to accept the spot before we move on to the next camper on the list. Please reply to the email we send you to accept the spot. We prefer an email acceptance to a phone call, purely so we have the open slot acceptance in writing with an easily identifiable paper trail.
Deposit payment will be due upon acceptance of a spot.
- Before March 1st: Initial Deposit Due
- After March 1st, before May 1st: Initial + Secondary Deposit Due
- After May 1st: Final payments will be due within 7 days of accepting the open slot
If you’re interested to see what number your camper is on a given list, please email info@friendlypines.com. Be sure to include your camper’s first & last name in the email request so we can look them up.
FPC will email campers on a given waitlist first, should spots open up. After we’ve exhausted our waitlist campers, we will open the available session to the general public for anyone to enroll.

ARE THERE ANY EXTRA COSTS?
Our tuition covers all activities*, food & snacks, and housing for their entire session.
Your camper may have some small charges added to their Camp Store account during their stay; Charges to the child’s store account are made for laundry charges (in excess of $15; an option for two-week campers only), any purchases, *handcrafts and sewing project materials, transportation charges, “pre-existing” medical prescriptions, etc.
Our little ”store” exists only for the campers’ needs (not for any camp profit!) and the counselors monitor all purchase requests. We carry a limited selection of necessities such as toiletries, stamps, writing materials, etc. We don’t sell food, gum, or soda.
After summer, when accounts for ALL SESSIONS are finally posted and figured, you’ll receive a statement for any store charges. After you have had a day or two to look it over, a charge will be made to the credit card we have on file.
(FYI: We do have an online camp store where you can buy Friendly Pines Camp shirts, sweatshirts, fleece, backpacks, hats, and more. Click on the shopping cart icon at the top of each webpage on our website, or click here!)
