Pioneer Classic
The Pioneer Classic is one of PFC's longest standing traditions. An epic battle between two teams, Alpha and Omega, their rivalary is one of oldest ever documented in human history. Through a grueling series of physical and mental strength and endurance tests, only one team emerges as victor. We honor the team that took home the prestigious trophy along with the campers elected as Spirit winners each year.

Genesis Excellence Award
Each year, this honor is awarded to the staff member who best embodies and exemplifies PFC's core values. These are the "great" ones - the ones who've gone above and beyond, not just for the two weeks, but for the entirety of the summer. This is our small way of recognizing that their labor of love is appreciated.

Lifetime Achievement Award
When we ask each graduating camper what their top two wishes are, the first wish is that they could keep coming to camp; the second is that they wish they had found out about camp earlier. We honor those who have caught the camp bug over and over, and over again. *Since Camp2009
