2026 Newsletter #5
Hello from the Shores of Lower Baker! We’ve had a banner week of weather so far in the second session with bright sunny days in the low 80s and crisp, cool nights. Spirits, energy, and activity have been sky-high, and Pemi’s program is humming along. Since the last newsletter, we’ve had about as close as […]
2026 Newsletter #4
A brief programming note at the top: This is the fourth of our weekly newsletters, but the first of our second session, for the 2026 season. Most weeks they’ll be published on Tuesdays, though occasionally they’ll come out Wednesday instead. In these newsletters we aim to provide you a snapshot of the week at Pemi, […]
2026 Newsletter #3
Greetings from the shores of Lower Baker Pond! As noted in the opening newsletter, occasionally the rhythm of a Pemi week will necessitate the weekly newsletter coming out on Wednesday rather than Tuesday, and this is one of those weeks. We’ve continued barreling along here with non-stop activities, games, trips, and fun. As Kenny shared […]
2026 Newsletter #2
Hello from Pemi! As I write, on Tuesday, July 7th, the heat wave of last week feels a distant memory already. It’s an overcast and even slightly chilly day here at Pemi, but our program continues in full swing. The last week since the first newsletter has been jam-packed with both routine and special events, […]

2026 Pemi Staff
Welcome to the 2026 Pemi summer – our 119th! Throughout the summer we’ll send out a weekly newsletter detailing the goings on here at camp, with an effort to share as much of the spirit of Pemi as we can with all of you at home. In this first installment, I’m thrilled to introduce you […]
Letter Writing at Pemi
In many ways life at Pemi hearkens back to older eras, offering campers opportunities to engage in timeless boyhood rituals. Some of these traditional rites of passage carry on outside of Pemi just like they always have: hiking Mt. Washington, casting a line into the lake at twilight, waking up early to go birding, or […]
Pemi 101: Campfire
If you asked 100 Pemi alumni to name the place in the world they most associate with natural serenity, I’d venture that a sizable percentage of them would name Pemi’s Campfire Circle on Senior Beach. It’s a spot that holds special meaning for generations of Pemi campers and staff thanks to both its stunning physical […]
2025 Newsletter #8
Hello Pemi Community, Hard as it is to believe, it’s now been just over seven weeks since the Pemi 2025 summer wrapped up – the length of the full camp session. I suspect I’m not alone in feeling like the time from closing day until now seems far shorter than the camp season itself did. […]
2025 Newsletter #7
Greetings from Pemi! Somehow we’ve already arrived at the last week of the summer. Next week you’ll receive the season’s final newsletter that details all of our end-of-season festivities along with some wrap-up thoughts on Pemi’s 118th summer. Today’s newsletter will be a relatively brief effort, as I try to squeeze it in while also […]

As I write Pemi campers are out waterskiing, paddling on canoes and kayaks, […]

Greetings from Wentworth! It’s been another busy and fun stretch here at Pemi, with the programming continuing at pace and the boys enjoying everything camp has to offer.
