Welcome to camp!

At Pine Forest, we see the dining hall as an extension of home. Pop in anytime of day for a fresh piece of fruit, and enjoy the air-conditioning as you dine with your bunk (and celebrate birthdays, and cheer and sing)! When it comes to food at Pine Forest, the options are endless and the food is delicious! This ain’t your grandma’s camp food!

Rise and Shine! Every morning before breakfast, all boys gather round the flagpole for flag raising and the pledge of allegiance. We also announce birthdays, team or trip sign ups, sports scores, news, a joke of the day and a fun fact too! For example, did you know that rubber bands last longer when refrigerated!?

All bunks at PFC have been completely refurbished with new floors, ceilings and bathrooms. Bunks include individual showers with curtains, sinks and large ceiling fans. Every camper has plenty of room to unpack with individual cubbies right next to each bed for easy access!

Rise and Shine! Every morning after breakfast all the girls gather round the flagpole for flag raising and the pledge of allegiance. For birthdays, you can expect to raise the flag and be serenaded by all the girls in camp! Lisa will surely have a ‘Joke of the Day!’ and you can count on optional sign-ups for everything from a gymnastics competition to the camp show. Lots of singing, dancing and cheering to start the day off right!

Centrally located, recently renovated, the fully-equipped health center at Pine Forest is staffed with four nurses and one doctor.

This is where our directors live (it’s where their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents lived too)!

During the day, Max’s courts is the hub of our daily basketball program. Clinics and group instruction always precede league games! At night, whether it’s basketball leagues under the lights or wacky relays, Max’s Courts are always buzzing with excitement.

Aim for the bulls-eye!

Kickball, capture the flag, cornhole - multipurpose field!

Home to our soccer program and a great place to stargaze with your bunk!

Volleyball!

Street hockey, roller hockey or even an indoor campfire!

With the help of skilled instructors, choreograph a routine on the spring floor, tumble on the tumble track trampoline, swing from the uneven bars, or master the art of the beam! The gymnastics pavillion at PFC is home to many camp-wide and inter-camp gymnastics meets throughout the summer.

3 of 12 courts throughout camp

Our main athletic field, Mitchell Field is home to our baseball, softball, lacrosse and football programs. On the 4th of July, this is where we come to watch the evening firework show, and it’s rumored to be a favorite Color Days breakout spot, too!

Named after our Athletic Director, Coach Steve ‘C’ Chadwin, Chadwin Court is our own version of Madison Square Garden or the Palestra. With stadium seating, college flags and a super soundsystem, Chadwin Court is the place to play and spectate!

Tennis is a hugely popular activity at Pine Forest. Group instruction, private lessons, the USTA tennis tournament or just hitting around a ball with friends, Mitchell Courts keeps you at the center of the action!

For both group and individual instruction, the fitness center at PFC has equipment for children of all ages and experience levels; led by a certified trainer!

This is where champions are made.

Also known as “Gorski” Pool, Boys Pool is where the guys swim for both instruction and free swim! Swim meets, luaus, scuba lessons abound! And, it’s heated!

Also known as Haley’s Pool, Girls Pool is tucked away behind girls campus and used for swim instruction and free swim for girls only! On the last night of camp, all the girls in camp, each holding a little candle, line the entire pool for our famous tradition of candelighting.

On a beautiful summer day, there’s no better place in camp than Lake Greeley. Hang out in the sand with your friends, set sail to blueberry island, canoe though the natural waters or pounce on the inflatable Wibit!

Waterskiing, kneeboarding, tubing and wakeboarding on Lake Wallenpaupack is something our campers look forward to and talk about ("Lake WallyWhaaaaat!") for years to come.

Build a fire, catch a frog, learn to tie six different knots!

Our own movie theater! Cool!

Treats for all!

At least once a week we all eat in the grove for a cookout! Campers sit by bunk at picnic tables and are served family style. Pizza out of our wood-burning pizza oven is a must-try, and grove breakfasts, made to order for each bunk, is the best kept secret of PFC!
