Their counselors are friends, who lead them towards new experiences, protecting them from harm and encouraging their resourcefulness and creativity. They learn to applaud the variety of accomplishments of many different kids. Individual strengths are encouraged. The athlete applauds the actor or dancer and accepts the cheers for her own homerun. Each camper learns that personal investment brings a sense of fulfillment.
Participation is the essence of camp.
Creating Pine Grove Day Camp was a labor of love for me and my partner Marty Spielman. It is an ongoing achievement grounded in the desire to create a utopia for children with all the fun activities in a modern setting. The ballfields, tennis courts, basketball courts, hockey rinks, theaters, gymnasiums, dance studios, multiple pools, bunks, large air conditioned dining rooms create an environment that any parent would want for their child. Pine Grove had to be the best and we continue to strive for that excellence. Pine Grove Day Camp is the experience, more importantly, that starts a small child on the road to being that Color War General Regards to all our wonderful campers, past and present that have made this much older color war general thankful for a lifetime of happy memories.
