Kids that are already in junior or senior high school.
Camp provides kids a high intensity, motivational and inspirational
week where they learn how to solve problems, interact with
others, improvise to create solutions, apply Biblical principles
to everyday situations, and find out who they are in Christ.
We want to make sure every kid can take another kid to a life-changing
event this summer.
There have been seven fruitful years so far where nearly 500
Friends Fore Free kids have gone to camps. To the best of
our knowledge from the reports of the participating churches
and youth leaders, approximately 70 percent of these kids
have come to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior. The
vast majority of campers have expressed that there has been
a major shift in their thinking, a change in their attitude
toward family, school and home, and new hope given for their
future as a result of camp
Here are some of the testimonies from campers and counselors
alike over the years:
"I carried the free gift Bibles for our Friends Fore
Free guests to my family group and one of them said, Is one
for me? When can I have it? When I gave the Bible to him he
was like a vacuum to that Bible-couldn't put it down."
Junior High Sponsor
"When we sit around the table at meal times as a family
group, it's my favorite time of camp. Being together like
that is like my Thanksgiving."
Friends Fore Free Guest
"We couldn't get them to stop reading the Bible the
first night in the cabins. Our kids were showing our Friends
Fore Free things in the Bible and finally I made them turn
the lights out. Then they read the Bible by flashlight in
their bunks.
High School Sponsor
"One of the Friends Fore Free in our family group was
saved midway through camp. That night we talked about what
Christ had done on the cross for him, he said, 'I feel like
a ton has been lifted off of me.'"
Friends Fore Free Guest
"When I was on the high ropes course, I was afraid and
knew I had to trust. Through that experience, I really sensed
for the first time how much I really needed God in my life."
Friends Fore Free Guest
Friends Fore Free is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation organized in the State of Arizona for the sole
purpose of raising money to send kids to camp. This is accomplished
through an annual golf tournament.
