In this episode, we update listeners on what we've been up to; we give a fun fact about a high-speed activity we used to have at PIC (unbelievably); we give the answer to our trivia question about Sacred Animals and deliver a new trivia question; and we deliver a season's greetings message! Oh, and can't forget: staff and camper shout-outs!

As always, send your trivia answers and listener mailbag questions into the podcast by emailing Alex at atoole@pineisland.org or Hannah at hgordon@pineisland.org, and be sure to subscribe to the PineCast. Remember: Gracious Living is our Goal, and Pine Island Always Wins! Akka Lakka!

Today on the podcast, we do something a little different. Instead of our usual format, Alex reads a letter that we sent out, from him, to the broader Pine Island community in the spirit of Thanksgiving. This is an important time to practice gratitude, and in this letter Alex expresses many things for which he is grateful this season. If there are things from the Pine Island universe that bring you feelings of gratitude, reach out and share them! Send them to Alex, atoole@pineisland.org, or Hannah, hgordon@pineisland.org. We'd be happy to share them on the next episode of the PineCast!

Welcome back for a new season of the PineCast! Season 1 followed us as we prepared for the 2025 camp season, and season 2 will track the lead-up to the 2026 camp season. We're excited that you're tuning in!

In this episode, we update listeners on what we've been up to, personally and in our preparation for camp; we provide corrections to our fun facts from last episode; we give the answer(s) to our trivia question about Magoon; and we hit you with a new trivia question about Sacred Animals!
