News From The Point

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!

Tonight our family reflected together about how much we have to be thankful for. We are especially thankful for you, our camp community. We appreciate our loving campers, hard-working staff, dedicated alumnae and our friends and neighbors with whom we share the beauty of the Adirondack Mountains. We hope that each and every one of you were able to enjoy this day, and know how much we appreciate you.

Last night at our final campfire we reflected on the journey we made together this summer. The things we learned, the many ways we grew, and the friendships we cherish. We also shared our wishes for future summers, burned these wishes, and buried the ashes in the wish box for next summer’s first campfire.

We must thank the Peak of 2016 for their leadership through this amazing summer.  The Peak demonstrated kindness and caring for all the campers and were impressive role models for all of camp. These talented women have so many great things ahead of them. We hope your camp friendships and character will support you throughout your lives.

Thank you to the amazing staff at camp this year.  You all poured your hearts and souls into your campers’ summer. The girls learned so much from you, both in skills and personally as well.

We miss you all dearly, and look forward to seeing you soon!

This year’s banquet brought us to a Wonderland of childhood at camp. What a great journey this Peak has brought us on, both tonight and all these years of their childhood summers. The Peak of 2016 has left a great impression on all the younger girls and the entire camp family. Thank you for being a part of Point O’Pines and giving us such a great 60th summer.

Tonight we recognized truly outstanding campers with awards both for this year and for their entire history at Point O’Pines. We are so very proud of them and hope you will be too.
