We want our girls to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Summer is the perfect season to select naturally ripe fruits for our camp diet. In addition to our morning selection of bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew and oranges we like to see fresh fruit being eaten throughout the day. Campers love cherries, strawberries, blueberries and watermelon, but crisp cold apples are probably the all around camper favorite. We like to see fruit available often for afternoon snack and every evening as an alternative to milk and freshly baked cookies. Peaches, nectarines and plums are also in favor throughout the summer and occasionally you may even see a fresh mango salsa available to the girls.

Breakout 2012 – School’s Out
School’s out for the summer, and the Peakers are arriving in style on a big yellow bus. Breakout for Team Competition has begun. More news and pictures to come…
There was music throughout camp, the campers jumped out of bed and they ran up to main lawn in their PJs. Everyone knew right away it was Breakout 2012. The school bus arrived in the circle to the beat of the music. Peakers poured out onto Main Lawn and danced for the campers, who listened excitedly and took lots of pictures. The Peakers met with each group and announced the Blue and White teams. Quick team meetings introduced each camper to their team, and the first cheers of team competition filled camp. Another great team competition at Point O’Pines begins.

What is Cookout at the Point?
Every Thursday is cookout night. The age groups each have an area to meet for dinner with their counselors for cookout. The Area Heads oversee the cooking and preparation.
This is truly a favorite where we indulge on Hebrew National Hot Dogs, plenty of juicy beef burgers, Gardenburgers and our new addition grilled chicken burgers. We have all the accompanying favorites including tossed salad, plenty of chips and of course, pickles, relish, sauerkraut, and lemonade. The finale is our special homemade chocolate brownies. We spread our blankets and picnic with our bunk friends. Perfect.
