Pine Tree Camp is set on 285 acres of woods and fields and has more than a mile of waterfront on North Pond in Rome, Maine. During their stay, campers have the opportunity to connect with a peer group and benefit from a full range of recreational activities all adapted to meet their needs. Campers stay in beautiful, new, fully accessible cabins with breathtaking views of North Pond and surrounding hills.

Hearing staff, who work with and support the campers, also benefit from opportunities designed to build skills in Visual Gestural Communication with a goal of supporting individuals long after Sign Tree Camp has ended.
