Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
Determination
We recognize a camper who gives 100% of her effort to whatever challenge she faces. She is not only enthusiastic about her own passions, but is also supportive of her peers’ interests and goals. Her “can do” attitude is contagious among her friends and is valued by her counselors. She is a hard worker and respects others when they demonstrate determination by trying new things and following through on promises made.
Community Spirit
Camper of the Week for Community Spirit goes to a camper who builds up our community by bringing people together inside the age group and out. She embodies the idea of never leaving a camper behind. Her friendliness, thoughtfulness, and generosity contribute to our camp community and without her there would be a noticeable difference in the spirit of the age group.

The Peakers worked together to create a unique, fun and exciting night for all of camp. Breakout of the Lab: Experiment Gone Wrong.
Campers were anxiously waiting for breakout to happen. The Peakers snuck out to the big soccer field while the rest of the camper attended “Brad the Hypnotist.” While Campers awaited Brad’s appearance a typewriter video was played. Campers ran out to the big soccer field. There were Peakers waiting for them. The Peakers choreographed a dance to a mash-up of songs about laboratories and experiments. The Peak announced to campers their teams and we split into team meetings. Campers shared their love for the blue and white in various cheers.

She can put herself in someone else’s shoes and shows a great understanding of her fellow campers. She is compassionate with all of her fellow campers and staff, and does her best to learn the perspective of others during conflict.
Brant Lake was the venue for a weekend of fun and preparation for summer. The Peak of 2022 started their planning for events to remember, and outlined ways to bring their own brand of leadership and excitement this June. It might be cold, but it won’t be long until summer!
