Positive Attitude
This award is given to a camper whose energy lifts up those around her. She embodies the idea that positive attitude doesn’t mean always being in a good mood, but knowing that even if a bad mood comes, keeping a positive perspective can lead to growth and bonding. This camper approaches challenges with excitement and her sunny outlook on life shines throughout camp.
Peaker Julia brings news from the Point:
Recently at camp, it was a very eventful day as we had our famous Point O’Ritz! The Seniors surprised all of camp, announcing that it was Point O’Ritz at breakfast! All afternoon campers planned their bunk costumes as the Seniors got ready.
The Peakers and I got all dressed up to serve camp. As a Peaker, there was so much thrill and excitement in getting to serve camp in our personalized aprons! Campers came onto Main Lawn in all sorts of costumes, eating all sorts of appetizers served by the Peakers.
All of this was followed by a performance put on by the Seniors with the theme “It’s always a good time!”
During dinner, the Peakers sang and welcomed all of camp into the dinging room, serving an amazing dinner! My personal favorites were the spicy tuna rolls and the lemon chicken! After a yummy meal, camp enjoyed ice cream sundaes with delicious toppings!
To finish off an amazing day and night the counselors impressed us all with an outstanding talent show!
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.
Peaker Julia brings this news article from the Point:
Energy filled the air at the Point as all campers came rolling into lazy morning breakfast. Everyone enjoyed the amazing Sunday breakfast of chocolate muffins, lucky charms, hot chocolate, and even rainbow bagels! As Peakers, we all went to lazy morning with the excitement of dressing up for campfire and the first Team Competition.
All of camp was ecstatic to be together as one camp. Everyone’s faces filled with smiles as we sat through an eventful morning campfire. After campfire, both team split into team meeting to cheer loudly and prepare for the track and field meet.
After a delicious lunch, campers tied their sneakers, grabbed their water bottles and got ready for track meet. The events had finally begun, everyone was cheering and competing all around camp. The track meet involved many different events, from long jumps on the beach to archery in the big soccer field. After a few hours of friendly competition the track meet had ended. Everyone’s mouths were watering waiting for Jimbo’s famous Point O’Pasta. Our busy Sunday was followed by a cozy movie night enjoyed by everyone around camp.
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.
