White Pines Ranch Summer Camp is a co-ed, sleepaway summer camp with enrollment limited to 85 campers per session and an all-inclusive fee that covers food, lodging, and all activities. The all-you-care-to-eat buffet is prepared by licensed cooks in a modern kitchen, providing three meals and a snack daily, with drinks and a fruit bowl always available, and a souvenir shop offering additional options. The camp has an in-ground stainless steel pool with certified lifeguards, and campers stay in carpeted dormitories that are air-conditioned, fully heated, and have fully equipped adjoining bathrooms, in a Ranch house and Bunkhouse built along the lines of the Old West.

White Pines Ranch has been family owned and operated for 65 summers since it was started in 1958 by the current owners’ parents. The camp is owned and operated by three sisters, Gig, Sue, and Andee, who continue to run the program. The staff includes dedicated and caring teachers and college students, and the all-you-care-to-eat buffet is prepared by licensed cooks. The camp’s stated mission is to enhance the self-confidence, growth, development, and environmental awareness of each individual through a traditional, classic camp program and a philosophy where campers bond and become like family, contribute to a positive environment of encouragement, caring, and connection, and develop a connection to nature through the program. Weekly themes such as Mad Scientist Week, Can You Feel The Beat Week, Happy Holidays Week, County Fair Week, Fantasy Week, Wild West Week, and Mystery Week are used for counselor creativity during game time and craft time.
