Pine Crest focuses on each individual camper’s development process.

Most of the camper’s time occurs in a group size of approximately 8-10 campers.

We provide opportunities for social development, group interdependence, interpersonal problem solving, and leadership development.

The camp program primarily features activities specific to our semi-wilderness setting and are not as readily available to children in their home or school environment.

We take a holistic approach to environmental education and environmental stewardship creating exciting experiences in the outdoors.

While living in a group in a small cabin or on a canoe trip, campers learn to make decisions that serve both the individual and the cabin group.

The cabin groups work together to determine the cabin program activities that they choose at the beginning of each session.

We want to make sure that every child has fun at camp.

We want to encourage a sense of camp spirit, positive attitudes, and camaraderie.

We strive to ensure that our programs add to the campers’ overall development by providing situations in which positive attitudes and fun approaches to problems lead to success.

Our camp brings campers and staff of various abilities and cultural, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds together in one community.

Staff are trained on issues of bullying and inclusion to help prevent situations that would make campers feel isolated during their time at Pine Crest.

We offer financial assistance through a variety of channels in order to assure equal access to our programs at Pine Crest.

Each day our groups are outside, rain or shine enjoying as much of camp as they can.

Our programs focus on activities that foster a sense of nature appreciation and love for the outdoors.

Our 650 acre property is made up of mostly rock and surrounded by lakes.

Our kitchen staff do their best to provide tasty and nutricious meals that will provide children with the necessary calories to support their active lifestyle at camp.

Our staff encourage children to get enough rest, drink lots of water and apply sunscreen regularly to stay healthy.

Our wellness centre staff check in with campers numerous times during their session to ensure they are healthy and feel comfortable.
