Activities

At Pinemere, our campers have the opportunity to enjoy a tremendous array of activities and programs, all under the supervision of our qualified staff.

Part of the camper’s daily schedule will include activities for their Traveling Unit (2-3 bunks) along with instructional and free swim, while much of the rest of their daily schedule will be comprised of Chugim (elective activities) and structured free time. This allows each child to develop a strong sense of community and social interaction with their group, while also giving them a chance to do things that they like.

Campers have the opportunity to experience new things, develop group skills and personal independence, and explore the areas that they truly enjoy. Our staff balances the schedule to be sure that campers fully experience all that Pinemere has to offer.
