Success Stories

"Pine Tree Camp gives my child the ability to do things and experience things he might never get a chance to try."
- Camper parent

"The counselors/staff made my first year remarkable.  They were respectful.  Always there to make every minute fun (and safe) yet nothing seemed like a burden to them."
- Camper

"The fact that our son gets to stay somewhere on his own among his peers in a safe environment.  He truly feels like he 'belongs.'"
- Camper parent

"I liked the opportunity for my daughter to expand on her experiences and see other children with special needs and what they do to help themselves. The camp was big with outdoor experiences my daughter got to appreciate.  Staff was very courteous and kind, very caring people. "
- Camper parent

"(My son) loves the social aspect and loves the kids.  I love the fact that he comes home happy and ready to start another year."
- Camper parent

"This was one of the most positive experiences of our son’s life.  He can’t wait to come back.  Activities were just right – boating and swimming were his favorites."
- Camper parent

"The welcome (my daughter) received on arrival made her so happy.  She said 'I have been hoping for this.'  It brought tears to my eyes.  The admission went so smoothly – passed from one to the next with great ease.  The staff was so helpful to her and yet let her be as independent as possible.  When we left several staff members called her by name – hugged her and said 'I hope we see you next year.' (She) LOVED CAMP!!!  Next year she will know the welcoming will be coming on that dun day and I know it will be just as wonderful and exciting for her."
- Camper parent

"It is quite a place. I am grateful my son has experienced some good times away from me, a chance for his own growth. I am also very thankful for the caring counselors and staff at Pine Tree Camp. They make it all happen."
