News From The Point

Just last night we all gathered around the campfire together to share our wishes for the summer of 2018, and burned and buried their ashes for our first campfire 2018. We are so excited already for next summer, but we are also so bittersweet missing our fantastic Peak 2017. What an amazing summer they led! We have spend so many years watching you grow and flourish, and we are so excited to hear about your bright futures. We will always love you.

We thank our staff for committing all their energy into the children’s summer. You have been inspiring to the girls as you teach them skills in activities, in the bunk and for their lives. Get some well deserved rest, and get set for 2018.

Thank you, we miss you all, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Banquet 2017 was the Hall of Fame, featuring the great Peak of 2017. This Peak, though modest in number, is large in spirit and their impact inspires the younger campers. We have watched as they have grown up and will miss them dearly. Know that you always have a place in our “Hall of Fame.”

Banquet is also the time to recognize the truly outstanding campers with awards both for this year and for their entire history at Point O’Pines Camp. We are so very proud of them and hope you will be too.

What a great Team Competition we had this summer. Thanks to great leaders in the Peak and for some amazing talent we saw. This summer the winner is…Blue!

Our Peakers had camp in a “state of emergency” for Breakout 2017.

During rest hour all of camp heard the sirens blare: Breakout had begun. Racing to the Rec Hall, campers found an empty stretcher on the stage, as an ambulance entered camp and lead the campers in parade to main lawn. The Team Captains and Lieutenants climbed out of the ambulance and were joined by the rest of the Peakers.  We followed their march from the Main Lawn to the Waterfront.

The Peakers danced for us, then split campers into the Blue and White teams. Team meetings followed and introduced all team members. Campers learned team cheers which rang out throughout camp.  An auspicious start to a great summer of team competition.

Our orientation is just finishing up at Point O’Pines after up to three of four weeks of staff training. We had a color team competition between counselor teams leading to a Green team victory. Congratulations, Green! We posted a few fun photos for you if you log in on our website. Counselors are filled to the brim with excitement, and we are ready to share a fantastic summer with you. Camp is less than two days away, Wow! See you Saturday!
