Meet the Artist: Nickel Dostanko
For the first time ever, Pine Tree Society holiday cards feature artwork created by a client. Nickel Dostanko has taken part in Pine Tree Society’s Case Management Program for more than a decade and art plays an important role in his life. He is a prolific artist and his painting of Black-capped Chickadees captures a beautiful winter scene.
Pine Tree Camp is….Grateful
This time of year is all about gratitude. As we reflect on 80 years of discovering abilities together at Pine Tree Camp, we asked campers and alumni to share what they are most grateful for about their Pine Tree Camp experience. The heart-felt stories of the friendships, memories and life-changing summers they spent at camp are absolutely unforgettable. One of those campers in Paul. Watch his story now.
Then & Now - Justin Faulkner
These Then & Now photos of long-time Pine Tree Camper, Justin Faulkner, are the final images in Pine Tree Camp’s 80th anniversary spotlight series of Pine Tree Campers striking a pose to capture the passage of time and their deep connection to the special place they return to each summer. Justin started coming to camp when he was eight years old and it was fun to recreate this special summer memory with him this year. Thank you to all the campers who took part in Then & Now!
2026 is Pine Tree Society’s 90th anniversary!
As we reach this major milestone — 90 years of discovering abilities together — we are planning exciting ways to mark this incredible journey with YOU! We want to express our gratitude for your support towards our mission. Your generosity truly contributes to making a significant impact, and we hope you feel proud of the difference you are making.
