Pine Island Camp

Pine Island is a non-profit summer camp, in continuous operation since 1902 that fosters boys’ independence, imagination, and character.

While many camps operate as profit-driven small businesses, Pine Island stands apart as a 501(c)(3) organization. For over a century, it has provided boys aged nine to fifteen the most meaningful experiences of their lives. On a small island in Maine’s Belgrade Lakes, campers live unplugged—without electricity or running water. They gain the freedom to make meaningful choices, the support of a community grounded in shared values, and enough time away from home to feel both independent and integral to a unique community they help build.

Whether your son is shy or outgoing, big or small, Pine Island will challenge him to bring out his best in the simple joys and varied circumstances of outdoor living. All of this happens under the close guidance of our caring staff, nearly all of whom are former campers themselves.

Spots are limited—Pine Island limits enrollment to fewer than 100 campers each summer. Learn more about this extraordinary place by filling out our inquiry form:

TVMA Academy

TVMA Academy is a Kukkiwon-certified Taekwondo school serving the Algonquin and Lake in the Hills community. Led by Master Eric Ford, a Kukkiwon Certified International Master, Poom/Dan Examiner, and Self-Defense Instructor, our academy blends the tradition of Taekwondo with innovative training programs designed for students of all ages.

At TVMA, we believe martial arts is more than kicks and punches, it’s a pathway to confidence, discipline, and leadership. Our programs include children’s classes that build focus and respect, teen and adult martial arts for fitness and stress relief, competitive sparring development, and specialized offerings and seminars.

Beyond the mats, TVMA Academy is a community hub. We partner with local schools, sponsor events, and provide outreach programs that emphasize character, mental toughness, and healthy living. Whether your goal is self-defense, fitness, competition, or personal growth, TVMA Academy provides a supportive environment where every student can thrive.

Join us on the journey, where tradition meets innovation, and every belt earned represents dedication, growth, and achievement.
