Friendly Pines Camp

Friendly Pines Camp was built on horses. We have one of the most solid and extensive equestrian programs in the nation. The equestrian program offers: Western Riding, English Riding, Mule and Pony Driving, Vaulting (Gymnastics on horseback) and Packing. Most riding activities are offered at elementary, intermediate and advanced levels. Children can ride as much (or as little) as they like at Friendly Pines, with never an extra charge! Our equestrian programs are CHA certified.

FPC has a well-established Ropes Challenge Course that meets the highest standard of challenge course technology. The Challenge program offers numerous high and low elements, plus a 32’ climbing wall. The Climbing program gives campers opportunities to rock climb and rappel in the Prescott area. While these programs are for campers 10 years old and up, the Junior Facilitators program is specially designed for our oldest campers who have been through those programs and want to take the next step. For our younger campers we have the Junior Adventure and Climbing program that samples both ropes course and off-course climbing. Supervision is provided by our experienced Challenge Director and his highly trained staff. These are some of our most popular and most closely supervised programs. We are proud of our safety record of over 25 years without a serious incident!

The students will learn to hand sew, sketch fashion croquis, create accessories, participate in several “design challenges” and will wrap up the week with a Fashion Show for parents and guests. Although the camps are similar, the level of difficulty will vary by age group – for the Kids is all about creating; for Tweens we focus on personal style and mastering the basics of hand-sewing to further their skills; for Teens we offer them insight into the Fashion Industry with career advice, guest speakers and field trips.

Fashion Camp II – This week of Camp is designed as an all new week for those students who’ve completed Fashion Camp – The Original either this summer or last summer. We offer new projects, design challenges and a chance to complete a project using the sewing machine. This week also concludes with a Fashion Show for parents and guests.

Sewing Camp – Sewing Camp is just that – entirely sewing based. It is designed for the beginner – from those who have never before sewn to those with a little experience. We will teach the basics – learning the machine, threading & bobbins to reading and cutting patterns – then guide them through a project, step-by-step.

Style School – Style School is all about Styling. We’ll style our own photo shoot & runway show, meet stylists and learn about silhouettes, the color wheel and more.
