Ben and Emily Swan are <strong>the</strong> third generation of <strong>the</strong> Swan family to direct Pine<br />

Island Camp. They are committed to <strong>the</strong> same goals expressed by <strong>the</strong> camp’s founder<br />

over 100 years ago, “...to provide a happy, safe, adventurous summer for boys.” The<br />

camp occupies a small island in a big, clean lake, and <strong>the</strong> boys and <strong>the</strong>ir counselors<br />

live in platform tents without electricity. Each day boys choose two activities (sailing,<br />

rowing, canoeing, kayaking, tennis, swimming, fly-fishing, archery, riflery, woodcraft<br />

and workshop). Over 40 camping trips, ranging from one to six nights and including<br />

hiking, canoeing and kayaking, go out each summer to <strong>the</strong> lakes, rivers and mountains<br />

of <strong>Maine</strong> and New Hampshire and to our 90-acre saltwater island.<br />
