UCYC
Private
UCYC (United Christian Youth Camp) is a nonprofit Christian overnight camp in the pines outside Prescott serving students in 4th through 12th grade. Camp weeks combine biblical teaching, worship, small groups and quiet time with recreation including ziplining, rock climbing, archery tag, a giant swing and campfires, with activities included in one price. The organization runs about 35 camps and retreats a year across two properties, The Pines and The Summit, spanning 146 acres and more than 60 buildings. Most students attend with a church youth group rather than enrolling individually.

★★★★★Steven GrahmannIt's the best camp in Prescott! Staff are amazing, the price is right, the food was yummy, and the production staff for our large group meetings in the Summit Lodge, John and PJ, were AMAZING. Our student group of almost 200 were comfortable, cared for, and able to be completely present. Thank you UCYC!
★★★★★Josef KruppenbacherI just took my Youth Group here for summer camp and I did NOT regret it. I am the newest Youth pastor of my group and I had been looking for a summer camp they would enjoy. The previous year they went to FUGE, and TRCC, and they did not enjoy these places at all! As a matter of fact, I heard horror stories about these places. So, on a whim, I asked my assistant if she knew of a place and she recommended a place she had attended when she was a teenager, UCYC. So, we tried it and my kids immediately asked if we could come back for winter camp (We are)! UCYC has non-stop activities to keep the students busy, very accommodating staff, an awesome property to house the camp, great cabins to keep campers, and an amazing program to engage the students. All in all, the experience was worth every dollar that was spent and terrific memories were created. Now, I am going to give some criticism while still giving a five star review. First, they provide ear plugs in case the music is too loud. Wouldn’t it be easier to turn the music down? I mean, the music WAS loud. I actually used ear plugs! Why not bring the decibels down? Just a thought. Also, the way the food line was managed, terrible. Kids were cutting the entire time we were at camp and even cut in front of my students who were at the front of the line! Kind of ridiculous. Last but not least, even though the cafeteria staff was friendly, the food was not the best. Don’t come here for the food guys. All in all, this camp gets five stars because in spite of these short comings, it was the best camp my students had ever been to, and even if they did not change these recommendations, we would still go back!
