Today we packed and watch the video yearbook, tonight we do awards and candlelighting, and tomorrow morning we’re off. Just like that, summer 2026 will be a distant memory.

Of all the gifts you can give your children, we truly believe that camp is the greatest gift of all. You can’t give your kids independence, resilience, grit, lifelong friendships, a sense of belonging, adventure, but you can give them camp. Thank you for entrusting us with *your* most precious gift. We have loved having your camper up where the sky begins with us this summer for what we think was our best season yet.

Your camper has heard us say it before, but it’s worth repeating now: camp isn’t just a place on a map, it’s a place in your heart. We hope that memories of Pine Forest Camp give your camper happiness and confidence in every season, through every stage of her life.

As our alma mater goes:

Friends, friends, friends, we will always be.

With sincere thanks,

Eric, Lisa, Hal, Sarah and all of us at PFC
