In order to get the word out about Pilgrim Lodge and bring as many people to this ministry as possible, the Outdoor Ministries Committee (OMC) is engaging a campaign involving the active churches of the Maine Conference. We need one person from each church to serve as the "jumper" to anchor the campaign in that church. We also need people to work with the Local Church Jumper as part of a PL Team. The jumper will attend one of four workshops on how to energize the community (other team members are welcome too) and then to be the campaign anchor and cheerleader. See the job description. |

Pilgrim Lodge
"Beyond the Boardwalk" session is near capacity.
Beyond the Boardwalk is a special session for a small number of young people who will be entering grades 7 and 8 in the next school year. Campers will start the week in cabins while learning about outdoor camping skills, and then at the end of the week, use those skills for a couple nights camping on the PL island. It's a great introduction to outdoor camping. The session will take place August 1-7. There are no spaces left for boys and two spaces left for girls. To be placed on a waiting list call 207-724-3200 |

| I went to my first week at Pilgrim Lodge in the summer before 5th grade. I remember driving down the dirt road on a sunlit afternoon in late July and finally coming in sight of a large yellow building which I soon found out was the main lodge. A staff member was right there to greet my family and to point us in the direction of check-in. This was one of the first signs that PL was going to be a great camp. They made it easy for the first time campers so that they weren't confused or afraid, and everyone, I mean everyone, had a smile on their face. Over the weeks that I've been, I've
become an experienced camper, and become accustomed to the
traditions that make Pilgrim Lodge the camp that it is. It wouldn't
be PL without the early morning swims to the island, the songs at
mealtimes, getting stuck out in the lake in boats, the leaky canoes,
the torch-lit vesper services, the nightly boardwalk time, or going
to sleep in little cabins while listening to the cry of the loons
echo across the lake. |
