Hello from the very quiet shores of Lower Baker Pond, It’s been a few weeks since the Pemi 2026 season wrapped up, but I’m back (later than planned) to share a few details and thoughts from those final days of Pemi’s 119th summer. Later this fall I’ll also provide a write-up of our post-season events including Family Camp, Women’s Weekend, and several fall buildings and grounds projects. For today, however, our focus remains on the Pemi summer and the incredible last week that we had together. Pemi Week competitions went down to the wire, our end-of-season dramatic production thrilled audiences, Final Banquet left our stomachs full and our hands sore from all the applauding we did in celebration of so many well-earned recognitions, and the last day of camp included stellar final Bean Soup and Campfire performances. On Saturday, August 15th, we said goodbye to our full- and second-session campers, closing the books on another remarkable and inspiring Pemi summer. With the benefit of a few weeks of settling into the home and school routines, I hope you enjoy this look back on the last days of the Pemi summer before we turn our attention fully to 2027. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read these newsletters this summer; I hope you enjoy this final installment! On Wednesday of Pemi Week, we started off the two days of Pentathlon with the Lowers and Seniors competing in the morning. Pemi’s Pentathlon consists of the 60-yard-dash, the mile, high jump, long jump, and shot put. This year we also added in a cabin component with a 4×100 relay race. Boys can opt in to competing in any single event or as many of them as they’d like, offering campers the chance to try out a number of individual events that they may not get to do anywhere else. This year, as in almost every year past, we had boys discover that they’re actually quite good at the long or high jump or that they had an undiscovered ability to send a cannon ball a great distance. Nearly every boy participates in at least one event, with many pushing themselves to do all of them. The Juniors and Uppers had their pentathlon on Thursday morning, but I’ll share final results together here. The individual winners and runners-up were as follows: Lower-Juniors Winner: Ollie Lehn Runner-up: Zach Goobic Upper-Juniors Winner: Owen
