Are you thinking about sending your child to a sleepaway camp for the first time this summer? If you are, Friendly Pines Camp in Prescott - a long-running, summer camp tradition for many Arizona families - will host a virtual Information Night event for families on Sunday, March 28, at 7 p.m. on the camp’s Facebook page. Both parents and children are invited to attend. The featured speakers will be Camp Directors, Kevin Nissen and Megan May, who will offer an informative presentation and discuss all the emotional and physical benefits that children experience when they attend a summer sleepaway camp. All your questions about the sleepaway camp experience will be answered.

Friendly Pines Camp is available for children ages 6 through 14 and offers a non-competitive program of over 30 activities. After campers select eight hours of activities in which they wish to participate, a personalized schedule is created for each.

The traditional camp activities include: sports, horseback riding, swimming, waterskiing, rock climbing, performing arts, fine arts, hiking, archery, fencing, canoeing, kayaking, animal care, sewing, and much more. There are 1-week, 2-week, 4-week, and 6-week camp sessions available. There’s a special discount for siblings and for multi-sessions.

Camp will run from May 29 - July 24. This nationally renowned sleepaway camp that is accredited by the American Camp Association will celebrate its 80th summer this year. For more information, call (928) 445-2128 or visit http://www.friendlypines.com
