The Maine Cabin Masters draw on their creativity for a special project for Pine Tree Camp’s 80th anniversary: TV episode “Curtains Up! Theatre for Extraordinary Campers” will air Monday, February 3
Pine Tree Camp kicks off its 80th anniversary year by revealing a secret. This summer, the Maine Cabin Masters renovated camp’s recreation hall and theatre space. This 2,343 square foot building dates back to the 1960s, is home to camp’s drama and music program, and features memorabilia from as far back as the 1940s. The building was totally reimagined and revamped in the heart of Pine Tree Camp’s fully-accessible campus on North Pond.
The completed project, largely funded by a grant from the Prescott Family, and built by the cast and crew of the Magnolia Network’s reality television series, “Maine Cabin Masters,” will be unveiled on the Monday, February 3 episode titled “Curtains Up! Theatre for Extraordinary Campers” airing at 9:00pm on the Magnolia Network.
“The new space is truly incredible,” said Pine Tree Camp Director, Dawn-Willard Robinson. “They created a space where our campers can let their talents shine. They took our goals for theatre, music and arts programming and brought it to life in ways we could have never imagined.”
The Maine Cabin Masters are legendary for renovating old lakeside, family camps and cabins. The recreation hall project was a perfect fit because it is in the center of an 80 year old summer camp, surrounded by cabins, woods and water. Pine Tree Camp’s mission to serve Maine kids and adults with disabilities made the project particularly special.
“Pine Tree Camp is a place where kids and adults with disabilities can get outside and experience anything they want to try,” continued Willard-Robinson. “From swimming to archery to standing up on the stage and belting out a song, our campers are free to explore new things.”
Construction began in June and the Maine Cabin Masters crew worked through the summer to finish the project by September when they filmed the big reveal.
When Willard-Robinson first saw the finished space during the September filming of the reveal, her eyes filled with tears.
“They were tears of joy,” she recalled. “I could imagine our campers in the space and the emotion was overwhelming.”
