The Hammond Lumber Cornhole for a Cause and Bath Savings Paddle for Pine Tree Camp return this spring with one goal in mind: to raise funds for Maine kids and adults with disabilities to experience freedom and independence at Pine Tree Camp. Since 1945, Pine Tree Camp has welcomed all who could benefit, regardless of their ability to pay, according to the Camp, in a news release. More than 90% of campers need full or partial tuition assistance. 

Events will take place in Manchester, Solon, and Brunswick.

On Thursday, May 21, the 4th Annual Hammond Lumber Company Cornhole for a Cause to benefit Pine Tree Camp will take place at The Woodshed in Manchester. This cash prize tournament is professionally managed by Real Wicked Events.

The 30th Annual Bath Savings Paddle for Pine Tree Camp weekend brings paddlers together on the Kennebec River in Solon on Saturday, June 6 and the Androscoggin River in Brunswick on Sunday, June 7. Both paddles are family-friendly and perfect for all ages, skill levels and abilities, according to the news release.

Pine Tree Camp, which celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2025, is a program of Pine Tree Society and an American Camp Association-accredited camp for people with disabilities. Every year, hundreds of Maine children and adults with disabilities arrive at Pine Tree Camp in Rome and their lives are transformed. Year-round, campers experience freedom and independence by actively participating in outdoor activities like kayaking, boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, archery, snowshoeing and cross country skiing thanks to Pine Tree Camp’s 285-acre, fully-accessible campus on North Pond. Full tuition assistance is available. Since 1945, no camper has ever been turned away due to their ability to pay. www.pinetreesociety.org
