One of Pilgrim Lodge’s core values is: Love of Neighbor. During our time at camp, we practice this value in how we treat each other and consider how we can extend the value of Love of Neighbor into the world beyond camp. Each summer, we support up organizations that embrace this value in their work. Check out some of the ways that our partner organizations have celebrated our connections. Our campers make a direct impact on their organizations!
Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition – 2025
Click the image above to watch a video from the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition as they received a donation and notes of support from Pilgrim Lodge Campers.
One of the organizations that Pilgrim Lodge supported during the summer of 2025 was the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition (MIRC). All summer, our campers wrote notes of welcome and support to the team at MIRC and the partner organizations that they work with to offer services, advocacy and care to our New Mainer neighbors. Campers, the team at MIRC was so moved to receive the notes that you wrote to them!
In 2025, Pilgrim Lodge also supported the Maine Mobile Health Program which provides heath services to Maine’s seasonal workers and their families.
During the summer of 2024, Pilgrim Lodge supported Maine Seacoast Mission, an organization dedicated to serving the people of DownEast Maine and Maine’s outer islands. This fall, they highlighted our shared history and relationship by featuring Pilgrim Lodge in their “Bulletin” publication (see page 7) and Community Partner Profile for December.
