Then and Now - Kristin Selwood

Celebrating 80 Years of Pine Tree Camp: Then and Now – Kristin Selwood

In June, Kristin Selwood of Winthrop, smiled as she posed for a photo at Pine Tree Camp to recreate a cherished image from her youth when she first came to camp. Now 58 years old, she started coming to camp when she was 12. When the group home she lived in closed, her family advocated for her to live independently in her own apartment. The confidence she developed at camp contributed to that success.

Pine Tree Camp’s 80th anniversary “Then & Now” spotlight series pairs past images with the present day as Pine Tree Campers strike a pose capturing the passage of time and the deep connection, intimate friendships and love of the special place they return to each summer.
