Yogurt, Ice Cream and Healthy Choice

June 26th, 2012

Healthy moment with Sherie

The ice cream served on our dining is primarily Colombo Non-Fat frozen yogurt. It has zero fat but still has sugar. We think it is healthier than traditional ice cream and just as delicious. We know that the campers agree. Traditional ice cream is far less frequent, but we do serve it occasionally and you may see it on our menu as an evening snack with a choice for fresh fruit or part of a special celebration. We serve plain Greek yogurt at breakfast and fruit flavored yogurt at lunch. We know the girls enjoy the fruit flavors the most but they have higher sugar. We like to see them enjoy the Greek as the “Healthy Choice” option.

Our fitness program team teaches our campers about what we call the “Healthy Choice” as part of our “Stay Fit for Life” program. We teach our girls about portion control, and we often point out the items on our buffet that provide the most nutrition. We teach them how to make the “Healthy Choice”.

Senior House Shirts 2012

June 25th, 2012

Senior House Shirt 2012

The great peak of 2012 designed this year’s Senior House shirt online over the winter. Every Senior House since 1985 has had a special shirt that they can wear at camp, and some campers have terrific collections of the shirts of the Senior Houses before them. The Peakers connected with the phrase “There’s no place like home,” because it expresses how the Peakers feel about the Point. It is a great theme that is easily recognizable and their camp sisters relate to the home-like feeling Point O’Pines gives them each summer.

Round Tables at the Point

June 24th, 2012

Friends around a round table.

At Point O’Pines we have all round dining room tables. Of course, we want our girls to have equal access to our family style food platters on the tables, but more importantly we do not want anyone to be left out of the meal time conversation. We like having no ends so everyone is in the “middle.”
