“He returned from each of the summers at Pine Island a more thoughtful,
mature, and compassionate soul than when he arrived.
There is no higher praise that I can offer than to share that result .”
— Pine Island Parent

The Pine Needle, published each February, is the annual newsletter of Pine Island Camp whose origins go back to the camp's earliest days. Since 2007, we have also been producing an on-line Midsummer Pine Needle. Produced entirely by Pine Island Campers in the middle of the camp season, it offers a wonderful glimpse into the spirit and activities of each Pine Island summer while it is in progress.

Just Released!

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