About
The mission of Mountain Friends Camp is to provide a camp experience grounded in the Quaker values of peace, community, simplicity, integrity, equality and stewardship for a diverse community of young people and adults.
Mountain Friends Camp was founded in 2009 by an intergenerational group of Quakers (also known as Friends) in the Intermountain/four-corners area inspired to create a Quaker summer camp for our youth in the long tradition of Quaker camps in the Eastern regions. Our first summer camp program was held in 2010. At camp we focus on friendship, nature, creativity and Quaker values. We are a residential, co-ed summer camp for camper ages 10-15, Counselors in Training ages 16-17 and staff (including volunteers) ages 17-70+. Many summers we also offer a Family Camp for families with children ages 9 and under. Thank you for visiting our website and learning more about Mountain Friends Camp!
At camp we are inspired by the Quaker ideal of “letting our lives speak” by putting our values into practice. We value diversity and welcome campers and staff from various backgrounds in terms of religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender expression and identity, socio-economic class, familial status, age and ability. We seek to minimize our environmental footprint and maximize our engagement with nature. Our camp is affordable and offers “camperships” to ensure that any family can send a child to camp. Mountain Friends Camp is affiliated with Intermountain Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends and welcomes campers and staff from any religion or no particular religion.
