Campers of the Week – Courage 2018
Courage
This award is given to a camper who has the courage to do what is right, even when what is right does not match with what is popular. Her bravery is represented in social situations and at activity areas, where she has worked hard to try something new or outside of her comfort zone. She is fearless when it comes to reaching her goals and making camp a better place for all.
Button up at Campfire
Collecting each year’s button from the five year campfire is a tradition at Point O’ Pines since at least 1989. Campers love to clip them on their jackets or camera straps to show the many years they’ve been at the Point. Our campers actually get to make designs for the button each summer down at Arts and Crafts. “The winning of the design made me learn to believe in myself…I can have a memory that will last a lifetime”, says last year’s button designer, Alex. The designer of this year’s button, Phoebe, shared, “I was really proud of myself to see my design. I really like it.” We love creative fun at camp and are so proud of all the talented designers who designed buttons. What will next year’s design look like?
Alumnae, how many of these do you have at home?
Campers of the Week – Authenticity 2018
Authenticity
This award is given to a camper who is able to be her true, whole self in all contexts around camp. No matter the situation, she keeps her personal values in mind and behaves in ways consistent with those values. She respects other campers’ authenticity as well, and doesn’t try to change others into people they are not. This camper appreciates diverse perspectives but stands up for what she believes is right.
A Perfect Weekend for a Visit!
Thank you, parents for giving your girls a great weekend. Everyone loved showing off bunks, skills, friends and fun. We had some spectacular weather to show off all we have learned, and we hope you all had as much fun as we did.
Today we continued our summer fun with a busy day of team competition at tennis and team sports. There were cheers, games and superb sportsmanship all over camp.
Thanks again for making visiting weekend such a great experience for all of us!
