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, 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 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…. Welcome to the second session of Pemi 2026! The last week at Pemi was one of the busiest stretches of the summer, which is saying something given how busy we are all the time here at camp! Since the last newsletter, we’ve seen a number of trips return, we’ve held our Birthday Banquet, given out first session awards, thrown cabin parties, said goodbye to our first session boys, participated in a statewide loon count, sent the full session guys off to the waterpark, hosted full session families for visiting weekend, welcomed in our second session boys, had our Pemi West boys arrive and depart, put on two campfires, watched the World Cup final, sent out a number of trips, and participated in a number of intercamp tournaments. Changeover weekend is a whirlwind of both events and emotions, as we’re sad to see our first session campers depart, proud to celebrate our full session campers, and then thrilled to welcome in the second session boys. If you’ve read previous newsletters, you’ve seen me claim that the action at Pemi is nonstop, starting from the second the boys arrive and continuing right on through the end of each session. One of our departing first session campers illustrated just how true that is during a brief conversation I had
