Boys' Summer Camping Trips

Pemi's location in the White Mountains of New Hampshire affords unparalleled opportunities for an active hiking and trip program. Each camper averages one trip away from camp every ten days, and can participate in a wide variety of outdoor activities.

Backpacking and Canoe Trips

Almost every boy has the opportunity to join in a two-, three-, or four-day campcraft trip, backpacking and hiking in the White Mountains. A number of special trips lasting two days or longer are taken each summer as well, including several for older campers with stays at the Appalachian Mountain Club Huts in the Franconia and Presidential Ranges, and expeditions to peaks in the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains in Vermont, as well as Mount Katahdin in Maine.

Several canoe trips are taken every year, both locally on the Baker or Connecticut Rivers and to more distant locations in New Hampshire and Maine, including the Allagash River.

Each cabin goes on dinner trips to campsites owned by Pemi, including several on the shores of Lower Baker Pond. Each group also has the chance to camp overnight in camp's Adirondack-stlye shelter on Pemi Hill.

We believe that the challenges and rewards that these trips provide are often among the most valuable and memorable parts of a boy's experience at camp.

In most summers Pemi trips will visit these destinations:

Mountains: Mt. Cube, Mt. Moosilauke, Cardigan Mountain, Mt. Lafayette & the Franconia Range, Mt. Washington & the Presidential Range, Mt. Bondcliff, Mt. Carrigain, Mt. Osceola, Mt. Kinsman, Cannon Mountain, and Mt. Katahdin, with occasional trips to Mt. Ascutney, Camel's Hump, Mt. Marcy, & various Adirondack peaks

Rivers & Lakes: Allagash Waterway, Connecticut River, Baker River, Indian Pond, Goose Pond
