"My daughter loved creek stomping. She learned that she likes to get messy and that trying something new can be a great challenge. She also enjoyed the counselors - they were all friendly and supportive and provided good role models."
- Sugar Pine parent, 2010
Sugar Pine has been home to generations of campers and its fun and traditions bring girls back year after year. From horseback riding, to singing around the campfire, to making new friends, Sugar Pine provides a safe, nurturing environment for all girls.
Camp sessions are 7 days, 6 nights, with a different group of a campers arriving each session. Programs range from a sampling of camp activities to specialized programs such as horseback riding or high adventure.
Campers live in units based on their program and age. Most units range in size from 12-24 girls. Girls not only have the opportunity to participate in the activities for their specific specialized program, but there is a wide range of all-camp activities that are available to all girls at camp.
Most campers ride the chartered bus to camp and it's a great way to get to know other campers. Once campers arrive, they settle into their living units and get to know each other. The first night is a special All Camp campfire.
Through out the week campers enjoy other special all-camp events, such as theme 
meals, mystery hunts, talent shows or carnivals. The last night is a final closing campfire where everyone looks back over the fun and events of the session, share songs, stories and special memories.
Meals at Sugar Pine are served family style in a unique, circular dining hall designed like a big top circus tent. Sugar Pine provides three meals a day, plus additional snacks, and alternative menu options with our salad bar and sidebar. We can accommodate most special dietary needs, including vegetarian and vegan. Healthy, nutritious, kid-friendly food is provided at every meal by our outstanding food service staff.
