Camp Pine Cone is a day camp for children with physical and/or developmental disabilities, ages 5 to 12. The day camp takes place at Pine Tree Camp’s beautiful 285-acre barrier free facility on North Pond in Rome.

Camp Pine Cone is designed for children with disabilities who could benefit from a summer camp experience, but are not yet ready for overnight camp or who have special needs that make attending overnight camp a challenge.

Camp Pine Cone’s counselor to camper ratio is much lower than traditional day camps, a minimum of one staff to three campers. Children who require one-on-one support may attend with a parent or caregiver.

Our staff are special people who are committed to providing individualized support to each camper so that he or she fully participates in every activity.

Each day will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. The fee for the week-long camping session is $225. This fee includes all activities, a t-shirt and snacks. Campers are to bring bag lunches. Each session will close with a family social.
