Pine Tree Camp is….Friendship
We asked Carol Smith, who first came to camp in 1957 when she was eight years old, how Pine Tree Camp impacted her life. She said it’s where she found her forever friends and also where she learned she could do anything she wanted. “It was a catalyst for the rest of my life.” Watch her heartfelt, life-changing story now.
Get Active in the New Year
Our Special Olympics team rang in the new year with their annual tradition of jumping in the ocean at the Lobster Dip for Special Olympics Maine. Our team braved the cold cheered on by fans and friends. Next up is the Maine Law Enforcement Ice Out Plunge in March. Our Community Support Program could be the perfect fit for you.
