Description

Pine Tree Camp opened its gates in 1945 as a summer camp for children with physical disabilities. Over the years, it has evolved into a place where children and adults with disabilities are able to participate in all the recreational activities for which Maine is known all year long.

 

The barrier-free setting, along with an amazing staff, ensure that activities like swimming, fishing, kayaking, hiking, boating and even camping in a tent under the stars are completely accessible to all.

 

Participating in activities that take people beyond their disability has a tremendous impact. It builds self-esteem and self-confidence. That experience coupled with meeting friends who understand and experiencing the feeling of acceptance is transformational.

 

Summer Dates:  May 31st - August 27th (dates are flexible)

 

Salary: All summer salaries are stipend based on previous experience. Pine Tree Camp pays bi-weekly. All positions in the kitchen, laundry, facilities and Camp Pine Cone (our day camp) are hourly positions and start at minimum wage.
