2024 Newsletter #6
Today’s newsletter comes from Charlie Malcolm, assistant director, long-time athletic director, and coach of many of our soccer and baseball teams. Enjoy! Over the last thirty-plus summers, I’ve provided a recap of our Tecumseh Day each year with a different thematic lens. Over the years, we’ve explored the day through photos, the day of a […]

2024 Newsletter #2
Greetings from Wentworth! While this is somehow only the second newsletter of the 2024 summer, it feels like everyone in camp is a years-long veteran already.

Pemi Hut Trips: Part Two
If you missed Part One of our hut trip series, focused on Greenleaf Hut, here you go! It’s tough to find better than Greenleaf and the Franconia Ridge, but the trips undertaken by our Seniors to Lakes of the Clouds and Madison Spring Huts might just accomplish that impressive feat. These two huts stand abreast […]

2021 16’s Expedition
This summer a group of Pemi’s 16-year-olds returned to Camp for a special version of the Pemi 16s/Pemi West trip. While this trip has historically taken the boys out west and into new territory compared to their previous Pemi summers, the Covid-induced cancellation of the 2020 summer led to the creation of a unique opportunity […]
Pemi Counselor Internship Initiative
In the fall of 2018, Pemi identified an emerging challenge and started to brainstorm. Increasingly, our best staff members were finding it difficult to return for that third or fourth season, the one where their wisdom and experience make a huge difference for the Pemi community. Instead, in this intensely competitive national work climate, they […]
Pemi 101 – The Pemi Hill Shelter
The Pemi Hill Shelter is an Adirondack-style structure that sits on Pemi’s property roughly two-thirds of a mile above the Junior Camp. This shelter provides cover overhead and is walled on three sides to protect occupants from the elements. Ten yards from the open side of the building, which faces eastward, is a campfire circle […]
