Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
The air at camp turned cold last night announcing the arrival of fall. The bunks are eerily quiet and the leaves are just beginning to show a little of what will be soon vivid new colors. Quite a few of your favorite staff are still here at camp, enjoying the beauty of the Point, and preparing for your return.
We have already received so many applications from both new and returning campers for the summer of 2012. We cannot wait for all of you to return to your summer home.
It has been a truly wonderful summer. Thank you all for being a part of it. We are so happy about the summer that has been, and sad to see it finish. Campers, we love you and look forward to being together again, at Reunion and when you return to camp. Thank you to our outstanding staff who brought such life and warmth to camp. We will especially miss our Peakers, who are Peakers forever and will move ahead in their lives, building on the friendships they have made and the lessons we have learned together. The Point is always your home. We love you.

In a wonderful showing of vocal talent, both teams delivered a Team Sing to be so proud of. This year the winner was … the White Team! Please visit our photo gallery later tonight when photos are released.
This year’s Wacked-Up Relay was very exciting! While, after an early lead from Blue, White led the race, the Blue Team hung in there and actually kicked in some extra energy at the end. Blue was almost able to pull off a win if there was any misstep at all at can stacking, but, luckily for them, White stacked flawlessly. White won by only a very few seconds. So exctiting! We are proud of both teams and a great showing today.
Some of our recent alumnae visited us yesterday for a special day including the Schultzes’ Island swim, dinner on the beach and an evening activity called “Alumnae Mash-Up.” At Alumnae Mash-Up the alumnae bested the campers at the very last moment in a competition which included word scrambles, “Minute to Win It“-style challenges and name that Team Sing song. Thanks to everyone who came to visit. We enjoyed seeing you so much!
