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 […]
Pemi 101: Campfire
If you asked 100 Pemi alumni to name the place in the world they most associate with natural serenity, I’d venture that a sizable percentage of them would name Pemi’s Campfire Circle on Senior Beach. It’s a spot that holds special meaning for generations of Pemi campers and staff thanks to both its stunning physical […]
2025 Newsletter #8
Hello Pemi Community, Hard as it is to believe, it’s now been just over seven weeks since the Pemi 2025 summer wrapped up – the length of the full camp session. I suspect I’m not alone in feeling like the time from closing day until now seems far shorter than the camp season itself did. […]
2025 Newsletter #7

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 […]

Hello from the Shores of Lower Baker Pond, We’re in the midst of another warm, beautiful stretch of weather here at Pemi, with the sun expected to be shining all week and temperatures sitting in the 80s for the next several days.

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.

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.

Women’s Weekend at Pemi Returns for 2025
Last September, something special unfolded in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Sixty-two women ranging in age from mid-20s to mid-70s gathered at Camp Pemigewassett—not as parents, not as staff, not as plus-ones but for themselves. Now, we’re thrilled to say: registration for Women’s Weekend 2025 is open—and we’d love for you to join us. […]
2025 Division Heads
When speaking with families considering sending their son to Pemi, I’m frequently asked, “What makes Pemi different from other camps? What sets you apart?” I give a variety of answers to this question, as I truly believe that Pemi has many distinctive attributes: our equal focus on four stellar program areas, our private location as […]
