Wow, we’ve already finished the first two weeks of summer camp at TP.  It’s been fast, but it’s also been great.  The highlights below are just a partial list of what we’ve accomplished so far this summer, and you’ll notice that there no video games, textings, TV, computers, etc. – just good, clean fun with our friends.  Towering Pines does summer Old School: active, outdoors, with new experiences everyday.  Take a look: The Treasure Hunt and decisive victory for the Red Team […]

  The Fourth of July was an epic day here at Towering Pines Camp! My day began with the first coed sailing regatta of the summer. I took the boys of sailrace over to Camp Woodland to test their mettle. The race began with our boys in the lead, but the distraction of pretty faces must have been too much for them!

Accomplishments help make for positive spirits and lots of smiles. Keep it […]
