Camp Overview
Pinecliffe has crafted life-changing summers for over 105 years. Owned and operated by the same family since its founding in 1917, Pinecliffe is filled with tradition. Located on the shores of Crystal Lake in Maine you can guarantee your summer will be filled with gorgeous days, fun, excitement, and memories. Our all-girls camp focuses on independence, confidence, and strength in all aspects of life. We look for counselors with different backgrounds and experiences to become part of our family. We value empathy, compassion, individuality, and kindness above all else. At its core, Pinecliffe is a place where we teach girls to strive for success while continuously supporting their teammates and friends. Every girl is an athlete, an actor, a sculptor, an adventurer, and an amazing friend.
With the help of our amazing staff Pinecliffe creates a safe environment where risk-taking is encouraged and embraced. Our campers and counselors alike return summer after summer because of the connections and bonds built in just eight short weeks. We believe that well rounded girls grow into well grounded women. At Pinecliffe, above all else, we value each other.
