Southern Pines Camp

Southern Pines Baptist Camp is located in the Santa Catalina Mountains, 30 miles northeast of Tucson. At an elevation of 7,800 feet, this rustic camp is nestled among pine and oak trees on mountainous terrain. The mountain's winter snows, spring blossoms, summer coolness, and autumn leaves are a delightful change from Arizona's desert at any time of the year.

Established as a ministry facility of the First Southern Baptist Church, Tucson, the camp is dedicated to the glory of God through retreat and outreach ministries. The camp is available by reservation to groups wishing to use it for those purposes.

The camp has facilities to accommodate 100 campers with 5 sleeping cabins, bunk beds, pit toilets, showers, chapel, outside amphitheater, dining hall, kitchen and barbecue pit area. Groups must provide their own sleeping bags and pillows, programs, food and cook.
