Pine Tree Camp accepting requests for applications

ROME – Pine Tree Camp, a place that has been welcoming children and adults with disabilities since 1945, is accepting requests for applications for the 2002 summer season.

Located on 250 acres of woods, fields and waterfront in Maine’s Belgrade Lakes region, Pine Tree Camp offers activities similar to traditional summer camps.

Some of the activities include: kayaking, fishing, dramatics, arts and crafts, team sports and overnight camping. The camp’s goal is to involve campers in activities geared toward their abilities.

Costs are around $1,200 per camper per session. Payment plans are available, as are camperships on an as-needed basis. The camp has never turned anyone away for lack of funds, thanks to the contributions of thousands of donors.

For information, or for an application, call 443-3341, Ext. 103. Visit www.pinetreesociety.org or e-mail ptcamp@pinetreesociety.org. Campers who attended last year will automatically be sent an application.
