Pine Tree Camp opened its gates in 1945 as a summer camp for children with physical disabilities. Over the years, it has evolved into a place where children and adults with disabilities are able to participate in all the recreational activities for which Maine is known all year long. The barrier-free setting, along with an amazing staff, ensure that activities like swimming, fishing, kayaking, hiking, boating and even camping in a tent under the stars are completely accessible to all. Participating in activities that take people beyond their disability has a tremendous impact. It builds self-esteem and self-confidence. That experience coupled with meeting friends who understand and experiencing the feeling of acceptance is transformational. Pine Tree Camp welcomes all who could benefit regardless of their ability to pay tuition. All proceeds from the Snowmobile Ride-In will go to Pine Tree Camp's fund to ensure this "Open Door Policy" remains in effect.

Have you ridden a snowmobile before?
I grew up in Jackman and it’s kind of a big thing there. We used to ride sleds to school. I learned a long time ago that I’m destined to ride at slow speeds. When I go over 70 miles per hour, I end up eating it.

Do you like winter?
I love winter. It is 100% my favorite season. You’ll find me ice fishing for six months and golfing the other six.

Why is this snowmobile ride meaningful to you?
I’ve known about the Ride-in for a long time and always thought that one day I’d like to do it. I was really excited to be asked. I love the mission and the Egg Ride is so unique to the State of Maine.

What is your favorite song right now?
My favorite song of all time is That’s Life by Frank Sinatra. It doesn’t matter what mood I’m in. It pumps me up, calms me down or helps me dream bigger. To me, it’s one of the most relatable songs there is.
