Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
In the past few years we have seen more bald eagles up here on Brant Lake. Last year, Sue and Jim even had an eagle land on a tree behind their house, and this morning Brandon finally caught one of them on film. While they generally stay away from the busyness of the summer these surprisingly huge birds are becoming an increasingly frequent sight. This bald eagle was out in the middle of the frozen lake early this morning. What an amazing place to call home.
We had an AMAZING weekend with the Seniors of 2011! Although the girls enjoyed winter activities at the Point including tubing at Gore Mountain and walking to Schultz’s Island on the ice, they were most excited about planning for the upcoming P.O.P. summer! It was great to spend time together with some of our summer family. We can’t wait until we are all back together on June 23rd!!
Update: Photos of the weekend are up in your account when you log in.
We are excitedly counting down the days until the Seniors of 2011 arrive at camp for their winter retreat on Saturday! We can’t wait to hear all the wonderful events that they have planned for the summer of 2012!!
Happy New Year from Camp!! Winter has finally arrived in the Adirondacks and we are excited to watch camp transform into a winter wonderland! The lake completely froze over this week – it should be nice and solid in a couple of weeks so the Seniors of 2011 can walk to Schultz’s Island during their retreat . For our current camp families, the January Mailing with information about how to complete important forms, organize uniform clothing, etc. will be arriving at your homes this week. Let us know if you have any questions!
Happy Holidays to our Point O’Pines Family! We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season and a terrific New Year! We can’t wait to see you in 2012!
