Pine Tree Camp
Mission: To provide Maine children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to experience a barrier-free camp environment, regardless of their ability to pay tuition.
Established in 1945, Pine Tree Camp is a program of Pine Tree Society and is Maine’s only American Camp Association-accredited camp for people with disabilities. Every year, hundreds of Maine children and adults with disabilities arrive at Pine Tree Camp in Rome and their lives are transformed. Year-round, campers experience freedom and independence by actively participating in outdoor activities like kayaking, boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, archery, snowshoeing and even ice-fishing thanks to Pine Tree Camp’s 285-acre, fully-accessible campus on North Pond. Full tuition assistance is available. No camper has ever been turned away due to their ability to pay.
