Nutrition and Wellness
Pine Forest strives to accommodate a myriad of diet restrictions for campers and staff. Campers sit with their bunks at the same table every day for every meal. Food is served buffet style, and campers help themselves to their meals. All counselors ensure that their campers are getting their proper intake of nutrients. The camp kitchen seeks to make sure food allergies and picky eaters are taken care of. Pine Forest Camp does not serve peanut or tree-nut products or products that list peanuts or tree-nuts as ingredients at all in our dining hall. They also check for cross contact warnings on all products.

Special Events
Over the course of the summer, Pine Forest offers a couple of special events for the campers. The 4th of July involves a carnival and fireworks. On College Day, the camp is split into teams of four colleges and the four teams compete in the best of track and field. During Color War, the camp is split into teams blue and gold and the objective is to compete with friends in a variety of exciting events like tug-of-war, crazy skits, many Olympic-style sporting events, and "The Sing".

The senior campers get to go on trips including the Adirondacks, Vermont, Boston, Montreal, and Costa Rica.
