News From The Point

We just wrapped up our 2025 Point O’Pines Reunion and this year we brought the reunion to a bowling alley. It was a terrific setting for everyone to come together again.

Friends reunited as they arrived with time to talk and settle into the feeling of being part of our POP community. Soon we were all on the lanes. As soon as the first balls rolled down the lanes the whole space filled with the kind of energy we see at camp. Friends cheered each other on and had a great time just being together.

We enjoyed lunch during the event, giving everyone another chance to relax and enjoy time with friends. After bowling, we watched our summer video and relived favorite moments together on Brant Lake. Yearbook signing followed with messages from friends and memories to hold onto until the summer.

We also honored our Team Captains and Lieutenants for their great work and for leading such a wonderful Team Competition this summer. Looking ahead, we shared a preview of some of the new trips planned for next summer, and the excitement in the room made it clear how special camp remains to everyone. We were also glad to have a surprise visit from Charlotte, whose arrival brought wide smiles and many hugs.

Reunions always remind us how strong these friendships are and how readily the feeling of camp returns. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all who traveled to be part of the day. For those who could not join us, we missed you.

Photos from the reunion have been posted in CampMinder for everyone to enjoy. We have also shared the summer and Team Sing videos.

Our Peakers created a warm and joyful Home Sweet Home Banquet, inspired by the classic game of Candyland. Guests entered along the winding game board path and into a dining hall transformed with bright colors and playful touches, each poster reflecting their love for Point O’Pines. Thank you, Peakers, for a beautiful evening filled with creativity, laughter, and heartfelt moments.

This celebration was a highlight of a wonderful summer together. We are so grateful for our amazing campers, our dedicated staff, and the supportive parents who make this community so special.

Tonight we also recognized several individuals whose contributions to camp this season were truly outstanding.

Brandon, Caressa, Callie and Tessa were able to enjoy viewing yesterday’s total eclipse through the Point O’Pines telescope. We drove up to the public beach in nearby Plattsburgh, NY, and were able to share the views with other kids and families at the park. What an experience! We wanted to share some of the photos with our camp community. Wow, amazing!
