Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
In the past few years we have seen more bald eagles up here on Brant Lake. Last year, Sue and Jim even had an eagle land on a tree behind their house, and this morning Brandon finally caught one of them on film. While they generally stay away from the busyness of the summer these surprisingly huge birds are becoming an increasingly frequent sight. This bald eagle was out in the middle of the frozen lake early this morning. What an amazing place to call home.
Sherie and Jackie are on the road this week meeting with some of our great returning staff in Michigan and interviewing potential new staff for the summer of 2012! We have a lot of wonderful returning staff who will be joining us again for the upcoming summer – they are so excited to get back to their summer home!
Happy New Year from Camp!! Winter has finally arrived in the Adirondacks and we are excited to watch camp transform into a winter wonderland! The lake completely froze over this week – it should be nice and solid in a couple of weeks so the Seniors of 2011 can walk to Schultz’s Island during their retreat . For our current camp families, the January Mailing with information about how to complete important forms, organize uniform clothing, etc. will be arriving at your homes this week. Let us know if you have any questions!
Happy Holidays to our Point O’Pines Family! We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season and a terrific New Year! We can’t wait to see you in 2012!
It was so wonderful to see you at the reunion. All of the smiles, all the hugs, all the friends. We got to enjoy this year’s especially spectacular camp video, and remember a summer of fun. We all thank the great Peak of 2011. We will miss you! We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
UPDATE: The photos have been posted. Log in to see them!
