This was my first year at Pinemere,and i LOVED IT!!!! My counselors were always there to help us, and I made lots of new friends. The staff is kind and helpful, and the tents/bunks are great. My bunk had the new bathrooms, which were fantastic, and everyone will have them next summer. The activities are fun and interesting, not to mention totally unique! Whenever you have a problem, the counselors are there for you. I couldn't have had a better first year! Pinemere is the best camp i could imagine!!!!! :D

OMG I don't know what to say, I love camp so much. From the minute I arive I feal like I am part of the camp family! Pinemere is the camp where everyone knows your name weather your the same age gender or what. Camp is one big family rapped up into one. The minute I leave camp I cry because I miss my friends so much. Durring the offseason I cry all the time because I miss camp. I want to go back for another 7 weeks of camp. I miss camp a ton. I love camp so much that I signed up on pick up day for next summer. The activtes are nice. We get to pick one or two activites we do a day and we get to vote as a bunk.

Poorly run. Top heavy overpaid top staff causes tuition to be higher than market.It's been several years since Pinemere was full all season. Now it's not even full first 4weeks. Shame,Shame,Shame,

Pinemere was one of the best experiences ever. I made some wonderful friends who I still keep in touch with. My counselors were so much fun and really got to know us. Also, the camp does a really good job of making sure you do a variety of activities; there's something that suits everyone. The bunks are rustic, as they're intended to be, but everything works generally well. The food is pretty tasty too (I will forever love cheese toasties). It is a bit expensive, especially in this economy. Despite that, it's well worth it. Although it may not be for everyone, me (and many other campers/alumni) have fallen in love with Pinemere, and perhaps you (or your child) will too.

oh my god, Camp Pinemere, how can i describe it? BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY ENTIRE LIFE I LOVE PINEMERE CAMP! pinemere is amazing the activities are extremely varied and well supervised. i love the sports, arts, adventure and EVERYTHING about camp. the councelors are some of the nicest people i have ever met, and for the person below, it would be impossible for you to have a 15 or 16 year old as a councelor because they are c i ts and c i t 2s at that age, spending TWO YEARS training to be great councelors. the food is great, i love it, it tastes almost better than the food i have at home! and yes, you do have a say in your activities, your bunk votes on the activities that they want to do for that week. pinemere is the best camp experiene i have ever had, and the facilitis are great, the bathrooms messhall, arts and crafts and theatre fecilities are newly re done and wonderful. i dont understand how someone could not like pinemere, it is amazing, and i have the closest friends from there.

First, I must say that I enjoyed my time at Pinemere. It was a perfect "first camp" experience. But, I'd never go back. Yet, nevertheless, I would recommend people to go. First off, the staff was too young. All my counselors were 15 or 16, and went nuts whenever there were any problems. Some were nice but others were a little nutty. The bunks were pretty good, seeing that we got the brand new bathrooms. As long as your a girl you're pretty lucky, seeing as the boys sleep in tents. The activities were horrible to my needs. I LOVE the arts, and Pinemere had the worst art department I had ever seen. The visual arts were unsupervised and juvenile. The theater department was third rate. You could not pick what classes you wanted to take. It was a cheap camp, though, compared to others. However, the community was amazing. It was wonderful to be around so many Jewish kids. I am still extremly close to one of my friends that I made there. I loved the services and the food. Ok
