8. Melody Pines Day Camp 

Welcome to Melody Pines Day Camp, we’re so happy to have you as part of the Melody Pines family for the Summer, our 74th summer!

For many people the business they own and run is simply a job. For us it’s a way of life. Our camp is always near to heart and mind. We take immense pride in the work we do with children; we recognize how very fortunate we are to be part of their childhood memories. As a child, I spent each and every day of summer at this camp with my parents. My wife Erika became a camper here at age 10 and has not missed a summer since then. Almost every member of our staff is a former camper and spent their childhoods with us. The vast majority of our staff applications speak directly to the traditions, experiences, and fun these young individuals want to pass on.

Our objective is to deliver a terrific, traditional, summer camp experience (boating, gaming, athletics, and special events) without the nighttime sleepover. Through this experience, we aim to help each and every child develop character, learn valuable life skills, make friends, and discover new interests in a safe environment. It is always exciting for Erika and I to hear parents remark on the gains their children have made physically and socially.
