Pine Island Camp for Boys

Alex Toole, Director of Pine Island Camp, is committed to the same goals expressed by the camp's founder over 100 years ago, "...to provide a happy, safe, adventurous summer for boys." Now, more than ever, boys need a place to experience boyhood in a safe and comfortable environment, and Pine Island gives them that space. The camp is located on a small island in a large, clean lake, and the boys and their counselors live in platform tents without electricity. Fostering independence, each day boys choose two activities (sailing, rowing, canoeing, kayaking, tennis, swimming, fly-fishing, archery, riflery, paddleboarding, woodcraft, and workshop) and which of the 40+ camping trips, ranging from one to six nights and including hiking, canoeing, and kayaking, that they want to embark on. These trips go out each summer to the lakes, rivers, and mountains of Maine and New Hampshire, and to our 90-acre saltwater island.
