Basketball Leagues Have Begun!

Basketball leagues have begun!

The campers have divided into teams and begun the first games of the 2019 league program. Intramural leagues were started at Pine Forest back in the 1960’s by Stan Ward, coach of Brown University and taken to a new and exciting level by our own award-winning  Athletic Director  Steve Chadwin. Every division is divided into equal teams and there’s all-out competition until at the end of the summer one team in each division is crowned champion.  It’s fun, it’s high energy, and the winners get their names inscribed forever in Hughie Hall. (Named after Hughie Black, our own basketball star.) It’s Hoops time!

 

 

Let’s Give ‘Em Something to Taco ‘Bout

TOP Cooks + Tacos!

Our TOP Cooks campers spent the morning at Foundry 42 in Port Jervis, NY.  They worked under Chef Cooper Boone making tacos, fresh guacamole, and fresh salsa!  To top it all off, they accompanied their meal with a homemade mango rosemary water.

The best part?  Meeting a Foundry 42 patron that happened to have been a Pine Forest camper over fifty years ago!  There’s a reason we’re celebrating our 89th summer this season!

Celebrating 20 Years of Bill “Radar” Sandlin

Radar’s Landing, Bill’s Loading Dock

It’s the behind-the-scene people that make camp work and today we celebrated Bill “Radar” Sandlin, who for 20 years has ruled over the PFC loading dock and warehouse. Everything from paddle boards to pasta comes through those doors and Bill keeps an eye on it all. So, be it acclaimed throughout the land, that from this day forward the PFC loading dock will forever be called Radar’s Landing, Bill’s Loading Dock, with love and appreciation.

Good Morning, Pine Forest Camp!

Good morning, Pine Forest Camp!

Maybe it’s the new smell of pines trees or the first bird you hear, but when you wake up at camp it’s awesome. Look to your left, look to your right and there are camp friends right next to you. Can life get any better?

Okay, the bad news is that you still have to brush your teeth, but it’s gonna be a day like no other. You’re at camp! You’ve made it through your first night, the clouds part, the sun shines , the worries disappear, the fun starts!
