In The Beginning

Our story is really His-story.

Visionaries, sensing the leading of God, from Christian Churches in Phoenix gave birth to UCYC (United Christian Youth Camp) in 1952 with the purchase of 112 acres in the tall pines of Prescott. The first buildings, known now as The Pines were erected in 1953. Log Cabin Village, now known as The Summit was constructed in 1988.

But UCYC is more than just buildings. It’s our core values that drive us.

We pioneer fun, quality experiences in a safe outdoor setting where the gospel is presented in loving relationships.

Over the years we have partnered with churches to meet the needs of young people in both summer and winter as UCYC explodes with programs we plan. In addition, a variety of groups rent UCYC in order to create space away from the normal pace of life.

UCYC is a non-denominational, non-profit organization, affiliated with the Independent Christian Churches throughout Arizona and Nevada. We are governed by an Executive Board of Pastors and business professionals who are passionate about seeing lives transformed into the image of Christ. Locally the camp is lead by Executive Director, Joe Zizz, and his team.

We get life in ministry.
We make it easy and fun for you to camp or retreat.
We understand the power of a shared experience in an outdoor setting.
We love life transformation – not just in our guests but in our own community.

But – don’t take our word for it. Watch the stories of the impact camp has on leaders, pastors, parents, and campers, and scan the real-time, real-life reviews (below) posted on Google and Facebook.

What church leaders tell us is that “we get them”. They feel valued, understood and appreciated…and when they leave us – they feel encouraged.

How is this possible? Frontline joys and scars. Many of us have worked in churches, ministries and youth groups. We bring your perspective to all we do.

Transforming
Lives in Mukono

The MALACHI Project is committed to enhancing the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children in Mukono, Uganda. Since 2018, we have partnered with local schools and businesses to provide quality education, nutritious food, and sustainable development opportunities. Our mission is to foster a thriving community where every child has the opportunity for a brighter future.

The MALACHI Project began when Tyler Martz and Charles Egonu met while serving together in Afghanistan. Tyler was an American Security Advisor and Charles was a security guard from Uganda fighting to support his family.

Inspired by Charles's story, Tyler and his wife Raquel founded the project to help the children of Charle’s village.Today this has transformed to a school for 160 vulnerable children.

Hope Partners is an International ministry with a simple mission:

To rescue children and transform their lives through acts of compassion in Jesus’ name.

How do They Do It?

HPI creates “centers of hope” in some of the most impoverished parts of the world to care for the most vulnerable among us.

A Hope Center is…

A place to learn and grow. It’s a place of joy and, most importantly, it’s a place of HOPE.

Each of the Hope Centers is a home base for vulnerable children, providing them a safe place of refuge from abuse, drugs, and sex trafficking. In addition to safety, we provide consistent nutritious food, education through college or vocational school, and a path to hope for their future.

At the center of it all is the chance to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
