Simply choose the tier that is most suitable or comfortable for your family. All campers receive the same Pinecrest experience, no matter which amount you choose to pay.

Leaders in Training
Campers tell us they can’t wait to come back as counselors. Here’s a camp to equip you with the practical and people skills necessary to answer your call to volunteer at Pinecrest and pass on your great experiences as a camper.
Taste of Camp
Not sure if your camper is ready for a full week of camp? Give Taste of Camp a try! Your camper will get to sleep in a cabin, do camp activities, and maybe decide that a full week is perfect for them!
Discovery Camps
Discovery Campers do ‘campy’ stuff: swim, arts and crafts, archery, biking, hiking, karaoke, night games…AND they go home more independent, more gregarious, more fit, more comfortable with the outdoors…just MORE. Our counselors ensure that campers make good friends, stay safe, learn who they are in God’s world, and have the best time.
Mini Camp
Mini-Campers are excited to have a few nights of fun and adventure away from home. Sleeping in cabins with friends and highly trained, adoring counselors who ensure their safety makes for a great first camp experience! An experience so great that they can’t wait to return!
Middle School/High School
This camp sells out. Our middle schoolers like the extra freedom they get to plan their week. As a group, they meet to decide what activities they want to do. They might sleep a little late or stay up all night, but come daylight, they’re laughing and enjoying being around other great kids.
Beach Retreat
You know that you grow closer when you road trip, right? We head to the Gulf Shores area and beach together, play together, talk, study, live (in gender specific areas!), shop, bowl, cook, watch movies…together. We become life-long friends who know and love God…together. Only 26 slots available!
Dangerous Girls/Boys
A July camp for added summer fun! Campers stay in gender specific groups throughout the week. Kids do some woodworking and building, make shelters, hike some cool trails, and other stuff they don’t normally get to do at home…bring on the power tools!
Outdoor Challenge
Pinecrest has been taking campers to E Tennessee and N. Carolina for 20 years now. Campers rappel, go spelunking, whitewater rafting on the Nantahala, paddling different crafts on the Hiwassee, swim in the Ocoee, tackle a ropes course, sleep in tents, and generally discover the outdoors. Great camp. Forever memories. (Fills fast!)
Theater Camp
This camp is full of costuming, choreography, music, blocking, and staging to produce an end of the week show. Plus, other camp-y activities that make this thoroughly Pinecrest.

Every Child Should Experience Camp
We believe that every child should experience the powerful impact that summer camp at Pinecrest provides, regardless of income. For this reason, we also provide “Camperships” (our word for financial aid), so that no child is denied that experience because of financial hardship. If camp fees present a challenge for your family, please contact Lucy at lucy@camppinecrest.org.
As Christians, specifically Presbyterians steeped in the Reformed Protestant faith, and as followers of Jesus who included all people in the realm of God, we welcome absolutely everyone to Pinecrest.
