Have you ever wondered what it’s like to spend an entire summer at Pilgrim Pines? 🌿🏕️
We’ve put together Five Reasons to Become a Season Siter, highlighting everything that makes a full-season stay so special—from a vibrant, close-knit community and the flexibility of having a home on the lake, to endless opportunities for fun, meaningful connection, and time in God’s beautiful creation.

If you’re looking for a place to slow down, build lasting relationships, and truly become part of the Pilgrim Pines family, a season site might be the perfect fit.

We are so incredibly grateful for everyone who joined us. Your presence brings this place to life, and celebrating Thanksgiving alongside you is one of our greatest joys each year.

Serving on summer staff is more than a summer job; it’s a ministry. Each day you’ll have the opportunity to live out your faith, share God’s love in meaningful ways, and be part of transforming lives. Along the way, you’ll also grow spiritually, build lasting friendships, and discover how God can work through you. Here are 5 reasons why serving on summer staff is such a powerful and life-changing ministry opportunity.

We had a great time this weekend at the Mother-Daughter Retreat! Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible!

We're excited to announce that our dear friend Ben Anderson has joined the team!

We are thrilled to introduce our new Lakeside Pavilion, a stunning addition that truly embodies Pilgrim Pines' commitment to fostering enriching experiences in God’s creation.

We are excited to highlight Nancy Karlson, an extraordinary woman whose steadfast commitment to the Pilgrim Pines community has spanned over forty years.

Loving our neighbors can be hard when we forget who our neighbors are. As children, most of us probably thought of our “neighbors,” as the people who take up residence next door

Family Camp rescued me. Yes, it really did. Not just myself by my entire family as well. You see, in December of 2017, my family accepted a call to serve as the new senior pastor of Trinity Covenant Church in Manchester, CT.

Wow, a lot has happened in five years! The last time we wrote a financial update for The Branch, we hadn’t heard of Covid-19 and we weren’t afraid of rainstorms. We were also unaware of the full extent of God’s providence over this beloved camp.
