Story
You all know him as the one and only Jedi on the TV series “Maine Cabin Masters.” He’s proud to be a celebrity rider for the 51st Dysart’s Snowmobile Ride-in. He says: “My love of camps is what I’ve made a career out of. Camps, cabins and anything to get kids to enjoy the outdoors is well worth it to me. It’s really important to be able to get outdoors and experience camp.” We can’t wait to see what he wears for the ride this year! Help Jedi get covered in eggs to support Pine Tree Camp.
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.
