At Camp White Pine, our campers range in age from seven to sixteen, and live in six sections that function as mini camps - Kiwis, Koalas, Blue Dolphins, Red Dolphins, Gnus and Training Village. Each section has its own supervisor (section head) who has specialized knowledge of that age group. Each section also is sufficiently small to ensure personalized attention and concern, within a camp that is sufficiently large to provide a variety of activities and experiences.

The directors of Camp White Pine, Adam and Dana Kronick, believe in the importance of relationships. Their emphasis is on living in the cabin group where campers are involved in planning programs, creating themes and negotiating differences. They believe that children benefit from making choices, individually and as a group, with staff guidance. Campers and staff devise creative approaches to programs together, which encourages new ways of thinking about issues. At the same time they are learning countless new skills in a non-competitive atmosphere, pursuing individual interests, and having fun. Adam and Dana's philosophy is reflected in the staff and program.
