Dear Camp Pemi Community, The Fauver and Reed families, together with Camp Pemigewassett’s Director, Kenny Moore, are excited to share that, in full partnership with Pemi’s Board of Directors and Senior Management team, we have resolved to transition Pemi to nonprofit status. The Fauvers and Reeds intend to establish the nonprofit, gift the campus and camp operations, and take steps to ensure that the forested lands surrounding Pemi remain permanently undeveloped. For nearly 120 years, Pemi has thrived as a privately owned summer camp for boys, with the Fauver and Reed families stewarding the campus and surrounding lands while helping make camp financially accessible to boys who otherwise would not have the opportunity to attend. This decision is the result of a thoughtful, multi-year process guided by a singular goal: securing Pemi’s mission and future for the next hundred years. This is a watershed moment in Pemi’s history, and one we approach with excitement and confidence. The campers, staff, families, and generations of alumni who make up the Pemi community are Pemi’s true legacy. That community has long demonstrated extraordinary commitment—helping campers attend, rallying to rebuild the Mess Hall in 1965, and stepping forward again in 2020 to help complete the Staff Lodge during COVID. In recent years, many alumni have expressed a desire to play an even greater role in ensuring the camp’s future. We believe this transition comes at exactly the right moment. Two generations of Reeds and Fauvers are united in the conviction that the best path forward preserves meaningful founding-family involvement while moving beyond founding-family ownership. Our Board is strong and deeply committed, and our Senior Management team will continue the day-to-day leadership that makes Pemi summers so special. Kenny Moore and key members of leadership have been central to these conversations. Pemi’s enrollment is robust, its financial position is healthy, and its reputation as one of the country’s great camps has never been stronger. We are far removed from that fabled summer of 1908, when Edgar and Edwin Fauver and Dudley Reed welcomed fifteen trusting boys to eight weeks of adventure in the wilds of New Hampshire. Yet we imagine they would recognize the exhilaration of this moment: opening a new chapter in the Pemi story while holding fast to all that makes Pemi, Pemi—forming lifelong friendships, swimming in a crystal-clear lake, meeting boys from across the country and around the world, growing in confidence
