Until Next Time

Posted on by PineForest

The trouble with camp is that camp ends.

The buses pull out this morning.

In an instant, camp is silent.

But the air will be filled with happy memories. Pine Forest’s 84th summer has come to a close and it was one of the best ever.

Thank you campers and counselors,  housekeeping and maintenance, nurses and doctors and office staff,  one and all,  for making it such a tremendous season.

And now it’s back to home and school. But everyone who shared this wonderful summer comes home a little different. A little better.

Keep the spirit of PFC 2014 alive all year long.

Remember Pine Forest is more than a place in Greeley Pa., it’s a place in our hearts.

Goodbye Greeley. Hello World!

It seems like just yesterday that the buses pulled into camp and now they
are leaving.

But so much has changed; there are friendships made, challenges met,
adventures shared.

We are stronger, happier, more confident and independent. We’re ready for
whatever comes our way. Get ready parents, we’re coming home!

The Candlelight Ceremony

Posted on by PineForest

Like a shooting star. Like a spark at a camp fire. Like the flicker of a candle. Pine Forest Camp’s 84th season  is almost over.

It’s a chilly night tonight. And as dusk fell, if you looked up at the tree tops  rustling  in the breeze, you could see a red or gold leaf fall to the ground, the first signs of Autumn. It’s time to go home.

We gather together one last time until we return for PFC’s 85th summer, sharing the warmth of friendship. This magical place seems so far from the rest of the world, like we’re in some faraway kingdom of goodness and happiness.

Arm in arm, we sing for the last time this year, “Friends, friends, friends  we will always be…”

Let it be so.

Packed Up

Posted on by PineForest

  Mountain Baggage, R& B, UPS, FEDEX, Parent Pick-up. Like the song says,
“all our bags are packed we’re ready to go.”.

  Today we pack up, have our awards ceremonies and tonight it’s the
candlelight.  It feels like we just arrived.

  But we’re coming home with so much more than we can pack in a bag; new
friends, new adventures, new  confidence.   There isn’t a duffel bag or
shipping company big enough to handle it.

Those are the things that we carry.
