2024 Details

The 28th annual Bath Savings Paddle for Pine Tree Camp returns this June with two locations.

Paddlers will have the chance to reunite in Solon for the traditional route down the Kennebec River or experience the new loop on the Androscoggin River in Brunswick.

Both paddles are family-friendly and perfect for all ages, skill levels and abilities. Paddlers can also opt to participate virtually.

Providing two locations and two dates and making it a weekend-long event serves one purpose: to raise funds for Maine kids and adults with disabilities to experience freedom and independence at Pine Tree Camp. We are Maine’s only American Camping Association-Accredited camp for people with disabilities and 100% of proceeds from this event directly benefit Pine Tree Camp’s Open Door Policy.

Coming together to enjoy the Maine outdoors embodies the spirit of Pine Tree Camp. Throughout the pandemic, our camp team created new programming in the form of Adventure Day Pass days and Family Recreation Weekends, safely ensuring Maine people with disabilities full access to the outdoors in all four seasons. This programming proved to be life-changing for many of our camp families and continues to be offered.

Did you know? Since 1945, Pine Tree Camp has welcomed all who could benefit, regardless of their ability to pay. The funds raised from the Bath Savings Paddle for Pine Tree Camp are a critical part of our open-door tuition policy all year-round.

We need your support more than ever. Join us for the 28th Bath Savings Paddle for Pine Tree Camp NOW!
