Breakout 2021 – Shipwreck!

July 5th, 2021

This morning we gathered at the Arts and Crafts porch for our Sunday Awards Campfire. But wait!!! A 20 foot movie screen inflated in front of the campers and a newscast played telling us breaking news of a shipwreck on the beach. We rushed to the beach and found our Blue and White leaders who led their Peaker teammates in a sensational dance routine in front of the excited campers. The campers were assigned to the Blue or White teams and went off to team meetings to prepare for the beginning of team competition soon. I am sure the kids will be writing home about these exciting camp events soon! Check out the photo album when you log in!

5k for YMCA Adirondack Center

April 16th, 2021

We are excited to announce that our Peakers are organizing a virtual 5K this spring to support children’s educational enrichment at the local YMCA Adirondack Center! The Peakers have been working alongside camp to plan this 5K to help support the local POP community. For every camper and staff member who completes the virtual 5K, the Himoff family will generously donate $100 to the YMCA Adirondack Center. All donations will be given in memory of Olivia Nguyen.

An information sheet that includes a suggested 5-week training plan is attached to the email sent to you. The start date for the training is this Sunday, April 18th and runners can complete the 5k anytime during the weekend of May 22nd – 23rd.

We will be in touch with more updates as the race weekend approaches. We look forward to seeing everyone run with us!

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to email the Peakers at virtual5k@pointopines.com.
