Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
We had a great time this weekend with our 2013 Seniors. They did lots of preparing for the great summer of 2014, and had a little fun outside too. While the weather was a little crazy, the girls had a great time sledding at the golf course and walking out across the lake. They are going to be great leaders for a fantastic summer in just about 167 days! We are just elated at the idea.

As we gather together today with our families, we think of how much we are thankful for. Above all we are thankful for you, all of our campers, staff, parents and alumnae. You bring life to the Point, and your friendships are what camp is all about.
Thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving. We hope you have a wonderful day and safe and smooth travels.
Wow, what a great turnout for reunion, a superb summer video, and time with our friends. Thanks again to the outstanding Peak of 2013 for contributing so much of yourselves to camp. We miss you all already.
Please enjoy the reunion photos posted in the photo albums (look under the 2014 season) when you log in.
Point O’Pines Camp is sponsoring the FARE (“Food Allergy Research & Education”) Walk for Food Allergies on Saturday September 28th in Westchester. Brandon and Caressa will be at the Glen Island Park in New Rochelle, NY in the sponsor tent. We will be showing our support for food allergy awareness – for our family and our campers with food allergies. We’re excited that we will be seeing quite a few of our campers there with their walk teams as well. We will also be able to share the news that camp will be nut free this summer.
We hear that Junior B Kayla and her sister Jordana (a new 2014 Ti camper) will be selling Rainbow Loom bracelets right next to Point O’Pines at the their family’s sponsor table. They have asked their friends to consider making bracelets for them to sell with all the proceeds going to FARE. They write:
“Hi! Me and my sister support FARE (food allergy research and education) and they are having a big walk to raise money so doctors can find a cure for food allergies. My sister and I will be selling rainbow loom bracelets there. If you want to help us raise money for a good cause, you can do so by making rainbow loom single or fishtail bracelets and give them to me or her by September 25th. If you have brothers or sisters, can you please pass this info on to them? Help us say FAREwell to food allergies!”
If you would like to send bracelets you may contact them at farebracelets@gmail.com. Kayla and Jordana’s family’s walk page can be found here.
We are excited to see any of you who will be there, but if you can’t make it please feel free to leave your comments of support here.
We miss you girls all already. Such a fantastic time we spent together. You are all a part of such a magical experience, and we especially can not thank our hard working staff enough. We learned, we grew, we enjoyed, and we made friendships. We are so proud of you all.
One of the most difficult parts of today is seeing the great group of Peakers, that is the Peak of 2013 going off on the buses ready to open a new chapter of life. You Peakers made the summer spectacular. We are so excited to see the way you use what you have become. The Point will always be here for you.
We love you Peakers, we love you Camp.
