Paddle for Pine Tree Camp!

Paddle for Pine Tree Camp is an adventure that we have participated in the last two years. It is an effort to raise funds for an extraordinary summer camp for children and adults with disabilities. This 280-acre facility in Rome, Maine is fully adapted so that all campers regardless of their ability level, can fully participate in traditional summer camp activities like fishing, archery, hiking, drama, swimming, and of course paddling.

Pine Tree Camp began in 1945 with the philosophy that all who could benefit from the programming would attend, regardless of their family's ability to pay tuition. Over the years that policy has remained firmly in place because of generous support of people like you and me. All of the proceeds from the paddle will go to the Pine Tree Campership fund which will benefit those attending this summer. Click to see a video http://www.pinetreesociety.org/camp.asp.

Last year there were 75 paddlers on the Friday evening paddle and over 250 on Saturday. It is one of the best organized events of this kind that I have ever participated in. Safety is a priority, then good clean fun and good food. This year's paddle is June 6 and 7. Carol and I already have our reservation to camp at Evergreens Campground in Solon, ME. That is the put in for the second day and they prepare a great breakfast buffet. http://evergreenscampground.com/

Make the Check to Pine Tree Camp and send it along to Carol or Clay.This is only and excuse for us to go paddling but your support means a life changing experience for some special kid.
