2026 Newsletter #6
Hello from Wentworth! This week’s newsletter comes to you a bit late and will have a slightly different format. To break the fourth wall and offer an explanation, the dual demands of camp life and parenthood have eaten into my normal blocs of time to write, and so this will be a somewhat abbreviated update […]
2026 Newsletter #3
Greetings from the shores of Lower Baker Pond! As noted in the opening newsletter, occasionally the rhythm of a Pemi week will necessitate the weekly newsletter coming out on Wednesday rather than Tuesday, and this is one of those weeks. We’ve continued barreling along here with non-stop activities, games, trips, and fun. As Kenny shared […]
Defining Photos of 2025
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 […]
2025 Newsletter #7
Greetings from Pemi! Somehow we’ve already arrived at the last week of the summer. Next week you’ll receive the season’s final newsletter that details all of our end-of-season festivities along with some wrap-up thoughts on Pemi’s 118th summer. Today’s newsletter will be a relatively brief effort, as I try to squeeze it in while also […]
2025 Newsletter #5
Greetings from Wentworth! It’s been another busy and fun stretch here at Pemi, with the programming continuing at pace and the boys enjoying everything camp has to offer. We’ve had beautiful projects created down at Art World and in the wood shop, sublime performances at campfire, boys zipping across Lower Baker Pond on Sunfish and […]
2025 Newsletter #4
For those just starting to read our newsletters for the second session, a quick programming note at the top: Newsletters are written and sent out weekly, mostly on Tuesdays, though occasionally (like this week) the rhythm of camp can delay the newsletter until Wednesday. You’ll get a brief snippet included in the body of an […]
2025 Newsletter #3
Hello from Pemi, At the top here, and following up on Kenny’s communication earlier this week, I’ll begin this week’s newsletter by again acknowledging the pain and sorrow that all of us in the Pemi community feel for the families, camps, and everyone impacted by the recent flash floods in Texas. As Kenny said, the […]
2025 Newsletter #2
Greetings from Wentworth! It’s been quite a week here on the shores of Lower Baker Pond, as the Pemi season continues at breakneck pace. Not only have the boys and staff been all over the place, but the weather has been doing. During the last seven days, we’ve gone from nearly 100º temperatures with mandatory […]
Pemi West – 16s Program 2025
For the 2025 summer, we’re excited to share news that Pemi West will break new ground by heading north to Montana for an incredible two-week experience canoeing on the Missouri River and backpacking in Yellowstone National Park. The trip is open to anyone – veteran Pemi campers and those brand new to Pemi, boys and […]
Defining Photos of 2024
With 2025 just days away, we’re excited to look back on a few of our favorite images from 2024 – a year filled with Pemi traditions, milestones, and firsts! Pemi’s 117th summer saw boys join us from 24 states and 8 countries for 3, 4, or 7 weeks of friendship, growth, fun, and adventure, all […]
2024 Newsletter #4

Today’s newsletter comes right at the midway point of the 2024 summer. On Saturday we […]
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. The boys are fully into the rhythm of life at Pemi – they’ve formed bonds with their cabinmates, they run around camp as if they’ve been here forever, and […]
