News From The Point

The staff is here and we’re all eagerly awaiting the arrival of our campers.  This year we have a great group with lots of returning as well as some excited new staff. We have been having plenty of fun learning all about Point O’Pines and meeting this years new counselors. This week we had staff breakout and split up into seven color teams and completed events around camp. Congratulations to Red Team who took the win from Yellow Team in a tiebreaker in the musical final event.

Our very own Sub Area Head, Kelly Longwitz, has her beautiful artwork showing at The Little Gallery in Albany, NY.  A number of the Point O’Pines crew were able to attend the opening reception – what an exciting event!  Congrats to Kelly on her amazing work – we are all so proud of her!

Callie, Tessa and the camp staff had a perfect break in the clouds tonight to watch Venus pass in front of the Sun.  We used our solar filters on the camp telescope to safely watch the Sun, and there were quite a few sunspots to see, as well.
