News From The Point

This week the Inter As were able to explore the length of Brant Lake in canoes. Along with the Wilderness staff, the girls were able to paddle four miles in the canoes starting off at camp and landing at the farm. In those two hours they paddled, sang and took in the beautiful views along the lake. Once the girls landed at the farm, they hiked from the lake to their campsite, carrying the makings of a great campout at the farm.

While there was a little hard work, the girls all agree that it was well worth the effort. As the first group to complete this trip, the Inter As wowed us with their flexibility and willingness to try something new. We are so proud of all that they accomplished this week and hope that more girls will be able to have this awesome experience in the future.

We are survivors.  Breakout for Team Competition has begun.

There was music throughout camp.  Campers thought they were preparing for Aunt Emma’s Auction, but no.  Everyone knew right away it was time for Breakout 2013.  The Campers ran to the basketball court and watched the Peakers start their march up the road gathering more Peakers along the way to the beach.  The Peakers danced on the beach surrounded by the other excited campers.  Then, the Peakers met with each group and announced the Blue and White teams.  Quick team meetings introduced each camper to their team, and the first cheers of team competition filled camp.  This will be a terrific summer of Team Competition.  Lots of photos are up when you log in to our website.

The summer of 2013 has begun with the leadership of a great new group of Peakers. Everyone arrived with tremendous excitement at camp. There was singing in the dining room, and then a great show tonight from the staff. Now everyone from little Pinecones to the Peakers is back in their bunks getting some rest for tomorrow’s first full day at camp. It is going to be a great summer!
