News From The Point

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.)

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.

The 2019 Peakers spent their weekend up at camp. Between enjoying fun out on the lake, a little lemon chicken, and exploring a white and frosty camp, the girls designed some great surprises and ideas to give the younger campers their best summer ever. We were so impressed not only with their ideas, but also the thoughtful way they wanted all of camp to enjoy the fun! Wow, everyone will be in for a great year at camp in just a few months.

Photos of the weekend retreat are posted in an album when you log in on our website.

Today, we are missing our girls.  Leaving friends is always hard, but it is only hard because of the love, fun and great times we shared.  We look forward to seeing you soon.

Last night we made wishes for great summers to come, and appreciated everyone who made camp so special. The Peak of 2018 worked hard to make themselves a very hard act to follow, but they recognize that our Seniors will be a wonderful Peak when they have their opportunity.  Thank you Peakers.  It has been a pleasure to watch you grow and amaze us. We are so excited to hear about the achievements and fun that are ahead of you all.

Point O’Pines Camp is a place, but even more so a community and we thank all of the people who make camp the way we love it.  Thank you to all the campers, counselors, activity directors, area heads, and other staff who make it possible.

We miss you all, and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.
