2026 Newsletter #1

Hello and welcome to Pemi 2026! A brief programming note up front here: This is the first of our weekly newsletters for the 2026 season. Most weeks they’ll be published on Tuesdays, though occasionally they’ll come out Wednesday instead. Today’s comes out on a Wednesday to maximize the amount of fun details to share. In these newsletters we aim to provide you a snapshot of the week at Pemi, highlighting special events, daily happenings, the breadth of our program, and the general flow of each week. Trying to capture everything that goes on in a given day at Pemi, let alone a week, would be a fool’s errand, so please know that this represents just a portion of all that our campers get up to. In addition to going out via email, the newsletters are posted simultaneously on our blog. If someone in your household should be receiving this email and didn’t get it, please let me know at pat@camppemi.com. I hope you have as much fun reading these newsletters as I do writing them, although admittedly neither of those come close to the amount of fun the boys are having living this all out. On with the newsletter…. Saturday, June 27, 2026 has been circled on the Pemi calendar since August 9, 2025, and what an opening day it was! In the run-up to camper arrivals that day, our staff had been hard at work getting set for the summer. We engaged in a series of interactive trainings, prepped and practiced activity plans, and worked together to set up all of our program areas. The bulk of the facilities work had already been completed prior to preseason by our incredible team of Frank Roberts (happy birthday, Frank!), Phil Benoit, Nic Groleau, and Nicole Gagne, all of whom you’ll meet in more detail in a subsequent newsletter. Best of all, preseason allows for dedicated staff bonding time so that when the boys arrive, we’re already fully in the flow of being at camp and working together. Opening day dawned with a bright blue sky and just the right amount of summer warmth. We couldn’t have drawn it up better if we tried. At the end of our last staff meal at breakfast, Kenny encouraged us all to take a moment of silent reflection in anticipation of the incredibly serious and joyful responsibility ahead of us, and to soak in the
