Dates, Tuition and Policies

"I believe that this past summer at Pine Island was, quite simply,
one of the most important experiences in our son's life and
one of the best investments we could have made in his future."
—Pine Island Parent

2008 Season Dates and Tuition

Pine Island accepts only 85 boys each season.  2007 campers have until Nov. 1 to register for next summer.  We have had a great deal of interest already from new families, and we expect to have more applications than we will have spots available.  You may download an Application Form here, or on the Required forms page.

DATES

Pine Island Camp runs a single six-week session from the fourth week of June to the second week of August. Our 2008 season will open on Friday, June 27, 2008 and close with a farewell picnic on Sunday, August 10, 2008.

TUITION

Tuition for the 2008 season is $6600, with an $150 incidental account (any unused portion is refunded at the end of the September). We offer a sibling discount of $500 per additional child. Our payment schedule is as follows:

• To reserve your child's place at camp, a nonrefundable deposit of $500 is due with your son's completed registration form.
• On February 15, $3050 (half of remaining tuition) is due                                          
• On May 15, $3200 (tuition balance and incidental account deposit) is due                

Need to arrange a different payment schedule? Contact Ben Swan as soon as possible. Pine Island Camp also offers partial and full scholarships to families who are not able to pay the full tuition. Scholarship funds are limited, so if you are interested in this option we encourage you to contact Ben Swan as soon as possible.

POLICIES

Pine Island Camp accepts no more than 85 campers, ranging in age from nine to fifteen. Special effort is made to select boys from a variety of communities and schools. At least a third of our campers every summer are sons, brothers, nephews, or grandsons of alumni. It is the camp's policy to admit campers without regard to race, religion, national origin, or ethnic origin.

Apart from our farewell celebration at the end of the camp season, to which all are invited, Pine Island does not have a scheduled visiting day. However, parents are welcome to arrange a visit to camp at any time during the season, provided you call before visiting (we cannot provide housing).
