Rainy Days at Pemi
When you conjure up an image in your head of summer in New England, chances are bright blue skies, shining water, and lush green grass quickly come to mind. And while it’s true that most days at Pemi do indeed fit this stereotype, we have a confession: sometimes it rains at camp. Try as we […]
Full Session Considerations
Which session should I choose? A common question that both returning families as well as new families ask during the winter months.
