Camp Yavapines

What Camp Yavapines does

Camp Yavapines is a nonprofit Christian retreat center located at 2999 W. Iron Springs Rd. in Prescott, Arizona, owned and operated by the Arizona Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists. The organization has operated continuously since 1947 as a ministry of the regional SDA conference, providing spiritual and recreational programming in the Ponderosa Pines of central Arizona. Its website is built on the Wix platform and its digital presence is otherwise limited to a Facebook page and an [email protected] contact channel.

The organization runs two principal service lines. The Retreat Center business offers overnight lodging and facility rental on a single 1,200-person-capacity campus, including private-bath guest rooms in bird-named units, bunk cabins (4, 5, or 8 person), lodge rooms, and meeting venues such as the Chapel, Dome Pavilion, Gymnasium, eight state-themed meeting rooms, and a Cafeteria. The Youth Summer Camp business runs overnight programs for ages 7-16 (Adventure/Junior, Tween, Teen) featuring creative arts, extreme activities (zipline, go-karts, paintball, climbing wall), sports and recreation, and spiritual emphasis; registration is processed through the Ultracamp third-party platform (campCode=CYP). Additional offerings include two annual Camp Meeting events in June (Arizona Conference and Hispanic Ministries) and the on-site Yavapines Trading Post retail outlet.

The revenue model combines retreat center lodging, facility rentals, youth camp registration fees, Camp Meeting programming, and ancillary retail. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a stated minimum 2-night stay and restrictions on individual reservations during June-July summer programming. Go-to-market is community-led: the Arizona Conference SDA network drives youth enrollment and Camp Meeting attendance, while retreat bookings are handled directly via website forms and phone. A small permanent staff of six named individuals (Camp Manager, Facilities, Camp Ministries Director, Administrative Assistant, Office/Housekeeping) is supplemented by seasonal summer staff hired through Ultracamp.
