The Point @ Home – Counselor Welcome Song
We know we would all rather be together in person, but until it is a safer world, we want to share our online version of the counselor welcome song. We have already shared more than 100 videos and activities including cooking, art, fitness, games and more for you to enjoy your Point @ Home. There is much more to come, including live events that we will share with camper parents via e-mail.
We miss you all and can’t wait to see you in person. We look forward to seeing you this summer online, as much as you want to join in. We miss you!

Exciting News from Point O’Pines Camp
We are excited to announce the addition of even more depth to our skilled team of Camp Directors at Point O’Pines. As you know we are so lucky to have some of the best camp professionals here at the Point. As we work diligently on making the summer of 2021 the best summer ever, and providing our stimulating Point @ Home program, we wanted to share some well deserved promotions for some of our team members
Betsy Acker, our Assistant Director who has been with us since 2006, has been promoted to Associate Director. During the summer Betsy helps oversee the camp staff, leads the American Red Cross Aquatics and Safety training, assists with the marketing and promotion of camp, helps with staff development, and works alongside Erin and Sue to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of our campers. In the off-season, you can find Betsy traveling to different colleges and universities to help recruit prospective staff, or cheering on the Detroit Lions.
Emily Perelman will now be an Assistant Director. Emily was an 8-year camper at Point O’Pines and began working as a staff member with us in 2012. Emily will be working to help new camp families as they prepare for their first summer at camp while continuing in her role at camp, building strong relationships with our current camp families. During the school year, Emily works at Horace Mann School in Riverdale, NY as the Assistant Director of Admissions.
Kelly Siegersma will now be an Assistant Director at Point O’Pines. Kelly has been at POP since 2009 and has been part of our year-round team since 2013. Kelly will oversee many of the preparations for each summer that make camp run smoothly and will continue to be a key member of our staff recruitment team. She has a wealth of knowledge about all aspects of camp and is always available in our Brant Lake office to answer any questions you may have.
We are so proud of these individuals and wanted to share our excitement with our camp community.
