2026 Camp Pioneer Open House

We will host our Open House June 12, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. This is an opportunity to see the camp grounds, meet the staff, and ask questions. We will also present each camper with their camper shirt and operate our pool for swim tests. If your child takes their swim test during the Open House, they will not have to take one during camp. This will provide them with more swim time. Please take advantage of this event and participate in our Open House! Check in for Open House will take place in the cul-de-sac behind the Y at the entrance of Camp Pioneer. We encourage you to park in our back parking lot and walk down the hill to camp.
