Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
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.
Team Competition has begun. On Monday night dinner was delayed by aliens (well, Peaker aliens, anyway). The Peak called us to the Rec Hall, where the Team Captains and Lieutenants emerged from the smoky stage and led camp outside for an outstanding dance performed the our Peakers. Camp was divided into the Blue and White teams, and, after dinner, each team met to learn cheers, to hear about sportsmanship at the Point and even to get to know their team for the summer. We were so excited about a great year of Team Competition.
In the morning yesterday (Tuesday) we were treated to a “Sunday” schedule (Sunday this week was delayed to allow time for breakout). After honoring many great campers, including our Campers of the Week we held the annual Scavenger Hunt all around camp. The teams were both terrific, and we look forward to the leadership of the great Peak of 2019! (Many more photos are available when you log in.)
Compassion
Campers receiving this award are those who we all enjoy being around for their bright smiles, welcoming spirits, and inclusive attitudes. 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.
Today we welcomed the arrival of our Point O’Pines campers. Campers met new friends and reconnected with old friends too. The girls unpacked and toured camp and older campers nominated candidates to lead our team competition this summer. After our first dinner we enjoyed a Welcome Show by the staff introducing all our camp activities.
Tonight shared plenty of photos of the day when you log in on our site.
