We hope that you are staying warm!  Camp is currently a winter wonderland, if we all went up to visit now, we'd be able to walk from the chapel to the fieldhouse, right across the lake!

Attention Parents of Current Campers: Parent Advisory Committee

Join our PAC and make an impact at Pinemere


Pad

Our Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) started in 2006, and over the years this group of parents have met with the camp directors to assist in Pinemere's development. Thanks to PAC, new ideas including the creation of our successful SPARK (3-day) Program have been started at camp. 

We are looking for Moms and Dads who care about Pinemere, and would like to be a part of our Parent Advisory Committee for 2009.  If you are interested, please contact Rachel at 215-487-2267 x 102 or Rachel@Pinemere.com.

Tell Your Family and Friends about your Summer Home at Pinemere

We rely on our "family" members to share the Pinemere experience with others - relatives, friends, neighbors and members of the greater Jewish community. This is how we've become who we are today, and how we'll secure our future...and you can get a $100 credit for referrals that enroll at camp!  (Additional incentives will be announced in the coming month).

If you have questions about our referral program or would like to host a recruitment event at your home, please contact Rachel at 215-487-2267 x 102 or Rachel@Pinemere.com.
