Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
This week featured our Point O’Pines Senior Tennis Invitational. We hosted five camps who brought their best players to challenge our girls. Inter Bs, Subs, Seniors and Peakers played both singles and doubles all day long. It was a long hot day, but in the end we are proud to say that the home team won 10 medals of the 20 awarded. Congratulations girls, good playing! We look forward to our next tournament.
Last night was our western night. We shared a delicious western meal on the beach, and then everyone had a great time square dancing in the Rec Hall.
School’s out for the summer, and the Peakers are arriving in style on a big yellow bus. Breakout for Team Competition has begun. More news and pictures to come…
There was music throughout camp, the campers jumped out of bed and they ran up to main lawn in their PJs. Everyone knew right away it was Breakout 2012. The school bus arrived in the circle to the beat of the music. Peakers poured out onto Main Lawn and danced for the campers, who listened excitedly and took lots of pictures. The Peakers met with each group and announced the Blue and White teams. Quick team meetings introduced each camper to their team, and the first cheers of team competition filled camp. Another great team competition at Point O’Pines begins.
Last night we wished in a new summer at our first campfire. This traditional beginning of camp adds the warm wishes we made at the end of camp last summer, with wishes made on the wish sticks at the campfire to the flames. For the second year we also heard many wonderful wishes from alumnae that we added to the flames as well. Our blue and white team captains and lieutenants lit the torches of spirit, friendship, loyalty and beauty, and we heard songs sung by our Peakers as we watched the sun set over the mountains.
