    Emmanuel Pines Camp has been the site of our beloved Fall AHYM for more than 20 years.  We are grateful to the Emmanuel Pines staff for all the work they have done over the years to keep the camp usable for all.  You may consider making an extra donation to the camp and include it with your registration fee.  On the other hand, if you find you need financial assistance to attend, please let your Meeting Clerk or Treasurer know.

    Young Friends and Families

    Emmanuel Pines is a wonderful place for families and for the nurture of the next generation of Young Friends.  Intergenerational activities will be part of the schedule.  Childcare may be available for infants and toddlers; programs are planned for Elementary-age children and any Junior/Senior Young Friends.  Events are scheduled for Saturday between breakfast and dinner (lunch with parents).  Intergenerational activities will be held after in the afternoon.  Youth activities will be held Sunday after breakfast and the youth will join the adults near the end of Meeting for Worship. 

    The program will build community among young Friends through cooperation problem-solving, crafts and outdoor time.  Pre-schoolers with a parent are welcome to participate.  We invite volunteers to join us.  Please email Alisa Wolfe if you will be able to spend an hour or so with the Young Friends program.  Or, while at the registration table, volunteers will have an opportunity to sign up on Saturday and Sunday.  Share your Light with our young F/friends. 

    Parents and guardians, be sure to fill out AND RETURN the Parent Information and Consent Form in THIS LINK. 

    Intergenerational Activity – Campfire  

    We will have an intergenerational activity. AND, back by popular demand, we will gather around the campfire again on Saturday night for songs, stories, and silly jokes. Bring yours to share!

    Camp Logistics

    On Friday evening from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. we will meet upstairs in the Cedar Chapel for registration and fellowship.  Games and refreshments will be available from 7:00 to 9:00 o’clock.  Please bring table games, cards, and musical instruments to share.  Late arrivals will find room assignments posted upstairs on the window of Cedar Chapel and may complete their registration process on Saturday morning. A flashlight may be helpful to view your room assignment in the dark Friday evening.

    Lodging

    Friends will be lodged in Oak Lodge, Prescott Cabin, and Desert Cabin.  Each room in Oak Lodge sleeps four or five people in three single beds and one double bed.  Two of the single beds are upper bunks.  We will do our best to ensure as many families as possible are housed in their own rooms.  Otherwise, please anticipate room sharing. A limited number of types of accommodations are available in Desert Cabin for those needing closer access to the dining hall and Chapel. Anyone with special needs is encouraged to register early to allow us to provide the necessary accommodation. 

    Camping

    Emmanuel Pines (EP) also allows camping at a reduced rate.  Bathroom facilities are available for campers, a short walk up the road.  On-site space is limited, but there are 20 additional spaces available at the Prescott National Forest Yavapai Campground (7 miles from EP) for on a first come, first served basis. 

    Mealtimes

    Because we are not the only group at Emmanuel Pines Camp, meals are served for our group during a 15-minute period.  You may, of course, take longer to eat your meal, but in consideration of the camp staff and other groups at the camp, please arrive at the dining hall at the time indicated on the schedule (pages 5-6). 

    What to Bring

    • Your own bedding, towels, and toilet articles.  A flashlight and first aid supplies may be useful.
