News From The Point

This weekend we welcomed the Peak of 2024 to camp! The excitement for 2024 began with a beautiful day on Brant Lake. The girls also worked on their plans to inspire younger campers, and even shared ideas for a Breakout to remember. Summer is straight ahead and they are sledding right toward it!

Photos of the weekend retreat are posted in an album when you log in on our website.

We want to once again say a heartfelt thanks for being a part of a wonderful summer at camp.  It may have been the best summer yet, with continuing traditions complemented by fresh fun and energy. We are both looking forward to our exciting collaboration with Max Grossman and Nikki Zenkel.  We are so happy to congratulate them on their upcoming wedding.  

We have asked Nikki and Max to join us as fellow Directors of Point O’Pines Camp.  Brandon, Caressa, Max and Nikki will be the Director team going forward, leading a great team of caring staff, and planning great fun surprises for our campers. We look forward to working closely with Nikki and Max for years to come. Jim and Sue will continue to assist us with their advice, ideas and care for the girls while they enjoy more free time in the summer.

We are working on amazing plans for Summer 2024 and cannot wait to announce what is coming!  We are excited to see so many of you already enrolled, and encourage families to complete their enrollments so we can be prepared for Summer 2024.

All the Best,

Brandon & Caressa

You know that dream where you just don’t want to wake up? Today’s banquet celebrated “It Was All a Dream.” Thank you Peakers for leading a great event.

This was a truly terrific summer with fun from start to finish and a fantastic staff. What fun to look back at this dream we have had.

Tonight we recognized some of the individual campers who’s contribution to camp was particularly outstanding. We are so impressed with our campers and staff at Point O’Pines!

Congratulations and thank you to all these girls!

We also took this opportunity to recognize outstanding staff, including two recipients of the Sherie Alden and Erin Shoulberg Award for Outstanding Leadership. This award will be accompanied by a scholarship grant from the Himoff Family and was created to celebrate staff members who exemplify caring, fun, organizational skill, and leadership. Honoring those staff members who have demonstrated these extraordinary qualities celebrates and honors what Erin and Sherie brought to their life at Point O’Pines Camp.

Today brings a summer of Team Competition to a close. We began with our Hunger Games Breakout and sang our hearts out last night at Team Sing. Thank you to the Captains and Lieutenants who lead their teams with dedication. The Blue and White teams showed great sportsmanship!

This summer the winner in Team Competition is…White!

The excitement of friends who live across the country (and the world) coming together. Hugs and smiles. Sharing memories. Rekindling the joy of summer friendship. How wonderful to see so many of our campers and staff together.

In this first camp reunion since 2019, we not only shared a memorable summer video and our captivating yearbook, we also shared a preview of new camp trips for every age group in camp next summer. Parents, be sure to ask your campers about these new adventures. We will share more details as camp approaches.

We had another opportunity to thank our historic Peak of 2022 for their guidance and nurturing of the whole of camp this summer. As we approach Thanksgiving we know even more than ever how very much we have to be thankful for. Point O’Pines Camp is a treasured community, and that magic is created each summer by our campers, dedicated staff, and parents and family who generously give the gift of camp to their daughters. That magic is treasured for a lifetime. Thank you all!
