Lasts that Last | Week 7
Dear Pembroke families, Six weeks. We’ve blinked and they’ve passed, without warning, without a chance to hit the pause button, and now suddenly we’re here, experiencing what we can only describe as the week of “lasts”. Each Friday afternoon, I grab my coffee, my computer and find a quiet place to sit, reflect and look […]
Core Camp Memories | Week 6
Aaaaaaaand…exhale. What. A. Week. Finding the words to properly encapsulate the last seven days is nearly impossible. We spent most of this week feeling overwhelming awe and gratitude and so much of that is in part to the incredible campers and staff we have the fortune of spending our summers with. Bottom line: your kids […]
Camp Pembroke | A Sense of Home | Week 3
Camp is a process – an experience that involves a lot of energy, many emotions and all of our senses. It feels intense, exciting, and even exhausting at times. So much of my own experiences are wrapped up in the sights, sounds and smells of camp that in an instant, the smallest thing can bring […]
Camp Pembroke | Nailed It! | Week 2
We could have never expected the impact that two alumnae would have on our camp community in just one week.

[…]

Camp Pembroke | The Secret Recipe
What’s cookin’ at Camp Pembroke? The short answer? Grilled cheese and French fries, BBQ dinners and congo bars for dessert, quesadillas and chicken tender lunches. But in reality…there’s so much more. The ingredients for forever friendships are starting to come together, campers and staff are filling one another’s cups with kindness and patience and empathy […]
Lost + Found
Dear Pembroke families, Water bottles, towels, a left croc, goggles, bathing suit tops, a raincoat or two, jibitz, sunglasses…all of these things are currently waiting to be reclaimed by their rightful/forgetful owner. The chances of your child coming home with all of the things you packed them with this summer – highly unlikely, but what […]
The Science of a S’more
The Ultimate Camper Care (+ Wellness) Package
We often say that camp is about the people. Friends, counselors, and the amazing families that enable our campers the opportunity to spend their summers at camp, make up our camp family. Ensuring that we have all of the necessary people and processes in place to be able to support those people, is something we […]
