As 2025 draws to a close, we’re excited to look back on a few of the defining photos from Pemi’s 118th summer. Our summer theme in 2025 was “joy,” and looking back on these shots I’m reminded of all the fun that our campers and staff had as we spent time together living simply and unplugged at Pemi. The unbridled joy that boys experience at Pemi has a timeless quality that’s been omnipresent at camp since 1908. In 2025 our boys and staff came to Pemi from 26 states and 11 countries, gathering together on the shores of Lower Baker Bond to grow as individuals, make new friends, and share in the joy of a Pemi summer. We’re so grateful to all of our families, staff, alumni, and friends of camp who helped make this possible in 2025! Before we officially turn the page and focus all our attention on Pemi’s 119th summer in 2026, I hope you’ll join me in taking a few moments to look back on an incredible 2025. Note: If the images appear small in your browser, click on each one to see a full-sized image. One of Pemi’s most joyful and cherished traditions is our Mess Hall singing. At both lunch and dinner, we sing a collection of Pemi originals penned by Doc Reed, college fight songs, American classics, and more. The act of singing together, often loudly and with accompanying hand gestures, creates a strong sense of community that we all share in. The photo above could have been taken on any day of the 2025 summer, as the energy and passion of Mess Hall songs never waiver – from the first lunch with our older campers present on Opening Day to the final notes at dinner on Friday night before the campers leave, music and laughter ring out during meals. 2025 will forever be remembered as a banner year for music at Pemi, and not just because of our Mess Hall singing. This year’s group of 15-year-olds included several particularly talented and dedicated musicians, and three of them – Bryce, Connor, and Manfred – joined together with assistant counselor Leo to form one of the strongest bands Pemi’s seen in decades. During mid- and end-of-season shows, they brought the house to their feet with well-rehearsed, tightly produced, and energetically performed rock songs. While every Pemi summer includes the aforementioned Mess Hall
