Impacting Lives Since 1925

“Camp Pinewood has always been flexible with our family, from arriving late to picking up early, to anything in between. Our kids and us love the staff and how attentive everyone is in making sure our kids have a fun, safe week in the Piney’ Woods.” - Camp Parent 2015

Traditional CampCampers get the full summer camp experience packed with new activities in a fun, safe and supportive camp environment that is rich with tradition. Campers can choose one week or two week sessions. Our traditional camp program is for campers ages 7-14.

Traditional camp gives campers the opportunity to choose their own activities for the week. Campers also have the chance to go swimming each day, participate in age unit activities and enjoy programs offered with their cabin groups. After dinner each day, the whole camp comes together for all camp activities like: Capture the Flag, Pinewood Idol, Campfire, Field Games and more!
