INTERMOUNTAIN YEARLY MEETING

On Friday evening from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. we will meet upstairs in the Cedar Chapel for registration and fellowship.  Games and refreshments will be available from 7:00 to 9:00 o’clock.  Please bring table games, cards, and musical instruments to share.  Late arrivals will find room assignments posted upstairs on the window of Cedar Chapel and may complete their registration process on Saturday morning. A flashlight may be helpful to view your room assignment in the dark Friday evening.

Lodging

We will do our best to accommodate all room requests, otherwise, please anticipate room sharing.  For those needing closer access to the dining hall and Chapel, there are a limited number of types of accommodations available in Desert Cabin. Anyone with special needs is encouraged to register early to allow us to provide the necessary accommodation.

Friends will be lodged primarily in Oak Lodge.  Each room in Oak Lodge sleeps four or five people in three single beds, and one double bed. Two of the single beds are upper bunks.

New cabin options include Cottonwood and Eagle: https://emmanuelpines.com/retreats/lodging/cabins/  which have an extra $75 charge.  These cabins have one or two rooms, full bathrooms, house 1-4, 1-5 people and have heat and cooling, linen service at Eagle, and have a kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator and coffeemaker.   

Camping

Emmanuel Pines (EP) also allows camping at a reduced rate.  Bathroom facilities are available for campers, a short walk up the road.  On-site space is limited, but there are 20 additional spaces available at the Prescott National Forest Yavapai Campground (7 miles from EP) for on a first come, first served basis. 

Mealtimes

Because we are not the only group at Emmanuel Pines Camp, meals are served for our group during a 15-minute period.  You may, of course, take longer to eat your meal, but in consideration of the camp staff and other groups at the camp, please arrive at the dining hall at the time indicated on the schedule (pages 5-6).
