Today, camp split into 4 teams. Teams Chestnut, Hurley, Swift, and Peterborough battled it out for the CPI Regatta and Swim Meet title.

Strong headwinds couldn't slow down the team spirit and fun all day. Well done, boys!

Steph, OCA Standards Accreditation Associate, recently went to Camp Pathfinder to attend Spruce Root! The weekend was full of professional development for wilderness and tripping camp professionals. Steph had a great time reconnecting with familiar faces and making new friends, including Mike Sladden, HLM and Standards Review Co-Chair. Steph is excited to bring back what she learned to help support the tripping community and share ideas for professional development!

Hey Pathfinder friends in the WNY region! Consider stopping through Buffalo on May 30th for this pop-up fundraiser to benefit the Algonquin Campership Fund. 3-5pm, the perfect spring afternoon outing 🌼🛶

We’re pleased to invite friends of Camp Pathfinder to a special afternoon in support of the Algonquin Campership Fund, hosted at Rivalry Projects.

Founded by Ryan Arthurs in 2021, Rivalry is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to supporting emerging and mid-career artists through exhibitions and programming. Guests are invited to view the gallery’s current exhibition while gathering in support of camp access and opportunity.

On view and available for purchase will be a selection of framed and unframed prints by Buffalo artist Duayne Hatchett (1925–2015). Proceeds from these sales will directly benefit the Algonquin Campership Fund.

We hope you can join us for an afternoon of art, community, and support! 🛶🖼️♥️
