At Pine Island, Great Pond is where friendships deepen, confidence grows, and unforgettable memories are made. There’s something magical about the water – a place where campers of all ages and backgrounds can explore, challenge themselves, and discover new passions. In 2025, we want to make that magic even more accessible by introducing paddleboarding – a fun, adventurous activity that teaches balance, focus, and perseverance.

In order to get this new program going, we’re launching a microgiving campaign to raise funds for six new paddleboards.

For many of our boys, the lake is the heart of camp. It’s where they go to feel free, escape the pressures of everyday life, and be themselves. We believe that by adding paddleboarding to our daily activities, we can introduce more campers to the wonders of the water and give them a new way to build confidence and connect with nature.

With your help, we can ensure that every camper gets a chance to make their own waves. Whether it's their first time on the water or they’re already lake lovers, having access to paddleboards will open up new opportunities for growth, fun, and adventure.

Your donation—no matter the size—brings us closer to our goal and puts smiles on the faces of our boys. Help us make this dream a reality by giving today. Together, we can create a summer full of excitement and opportunity for all.
