Rome camp for people with disabilities now open year round

ROME — Pine Tree Camp is now offering year-round, fully accessible programming to keep Maine people with disabilities engaged, active and outdoors at its barrier-free campus on North Pond, or from the comfort of the camper’s home.

“COVID-19 has given us a chance to continue innovating and designing new, safe opportunities for our community to experience in all four seasons,” said Camp Director Dawn Willard-Robinson in a camp news release. “We are Maine’s only ACA-accredited camp exclusively serving people with disabilities, and no camper, or family, is ever turned away due to their inability to pay.”

Parents and caregivers can join virtual information sessions via Zoom to learn more about Pine Tree Camp’s year-round plans:
