We miss our campers and staff already. We all really had the best time together this summer! We came together, created and experience the magic of the Point. You accomplished so much, and parting is so very hard. We hope that you have had time to reflect on the most treasured of your summer memories
One of the most difficult parts is seeing the great Peak of 2022 going off to open a new chapter of life. You Peakers made the summer spectacular. We are so excited to see how you continue to grow, and the amazing things you will accomplish. The Point will always be here for you.
Some of the best times are when you take “A Trip Down Memory Lane.” Tonight was one of those times. It was a great banquet theme for this summer planned by our Peakers.
What a great summer it has been! We are so fortunate to have such caring staff, campers and our Peakers have been wonderful. We have made so many memories from the first step off the bus to tonight’s banquet. It was a great night to celebrate.
Tonight we also recognized some of the individual campers who’s contribution to camp was particularly outstanding. We have some spectacular young women 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 new 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.
Sherie Alden and Erin Shoulberg Award for Outstanding Leadership
What an amazing visiting day! It was a huge victory for the campers who loved every moment and have treasured this return to normal life after the challenges of recent years. The weather could not have been better and we can’t thank parents enough for all their efforts to make this very special visit happen.
A News Report from the Point from Peaker Jesse:
This weekend we had smiling faces, big hugs, and lots of treats back again. We started off Friday with lower camp visiting day. Campers were reunited with their family members on a beautiful day. Campers showed off all their activities and achievements they have been working on this summer. Families sat out on the Main Lawn to enjoy the delicious buffet and cook-out. At the end of the day everyone enjoyed a cool-down waterfight at the beach. On Saturday lower camp girls headed to the farm for a day of fun activities. The rest of camp hung out with their families and indulged in the excitement of the day. Senior House put on their show “A Chorus Line” for their family members. We ended the day with another waterfight on the beach.

The Peakers worked together to create a unique, fun and exciting night for all of camp. Breakout of the Lab: Experiment Gone Wrong.
Campers were anxiously waiting for breakout to happen. The Peakers snuck out to the big soccer field while the rest of the camper attended “Brad the Hypnotist.” While Campers awaited Brad’s appearance a typewriter video was played. Campers ran out to the big soccer field. There were Peakers waiting for them. The Peakers choreographed a dance to a mash-up of songs about laboratories and experiments. The Peak announced to campers their teams and we split into team meetings. Campers shared their love for the blue and white in various cheers.
Brant Lake was the venue for a weekend of fun and preparation for summer. The Peak of 2022 started their planning for events to remember, and outlined ways to bring their own brand of leadership and excitement this June. It might be cold, but it won’t be long until summer!
Photos of the weekend retreat are posted in an album when you log in on our website.
