Over Half a Century of Tradition & Service

Our Beginnings…On August 10, 1943, a committee of six men considered a 60-acre site south of Prescott with the idea of turning it into a camping district. The site consisted of several abandoned gold mine claims. The title deed of one claim revealed it was originally “sold to ‘John Doe’ for a flea-bitten mare, a stage coach and a dapple grey.” The site was priced at $1500. The Arizona Baptist Convention accepted the recommendations of the committee and purchased the acreage, then known as the Arizona Baptist Estates. A summer retreat for Conservative Baptists began…

On November 29, 1943, Judge Fred Fickett suggested the purchase of an additional 15 acres which adjoined the original site. It was purchased for $800. The first buildings, a dining facility and a large chapel were placed on the property in the mid-1940′s. In the early 1950′s, the first permanent cabins were erected. The facility name was changed to Prescott Pines Baptist Camp in 1958, and the facility continued to grow.

Today…

Prescott Pines Camp is 85 acres of forested fun! Affiliated with the Southwest Conservative Baptist Association, Prescott Pines welcomes over 11,000 guests per year; Christian groups from diverse backgrounds, as well as school classes, government groups, non-profit organizations, and more.
