Golfers rejoice, for there is now an opportunity for you to practice your short game here at Kingsley Pines Camp.  Over the winter, the maintenance crew installed a beautiful chip and putt at the end of the soccer field.

Session 1 starts in just two weeks!

The roof will be completed by snowfall (hopefully!) and the inside will be finished in time for us to use this space this summer!

Cabin 55 will also continue to be a staff cabin and is now near the archery range by Cabins 33 and 34! The moves were quite exciting to watch as the truck and trailer squeezed the cabins through the trees! Needless to...

There is a new cabin being built on the Girls side. It is called Moxie. Many of you may remember that last fall, we moved Royal and Laurel. Moxie is were these cabins used to be.
