About Us Donate Now

This summer celebrates the 43rd Annual Rittner Run, benefiting The Fred Rittner Pemi Campership Fund. The Fund was established in 1983 in honor of long-time Pemi camper and legendary counselor Fred Rittner who died of cancer at age 23 that same summer on July 23rd, just two summers after his final season at camp as a counselor and soccer coach extraordinaire.

Through 2026, we have granted over 325 camp scholarships in Fred’s memory to kids from the USA and around the world, making extra efforts to increase the diversity of the camp community. The Fund provides tuition support to dozens of campers each summer
