News From The Point

Today we took the very short journey to “The Happiest Place on Earth” right here at Point O’Pines. What a great theme and a terrific banquet from the Peakers!

This year we have so much to be thankful for, but these Peakers were a huge part of what has really been one of the most wonderful summers at camp. Thank you, girls!

Tonight we were also able to recognize some of the individual campers who’s contribution to camp was particularly outstanding. We have some spectacular young women at Point O’Pines!

Peaker Julia brings news from the Point:

Recently at camp, it was a very eventful day as we had our famous Point O’Ritz! The Seniors surprised all of camp, announcing that it was Point O’Ritz at breakfast! All afternoon campers planned their bunk costumes as the Seniors got ready.

The Peakers and I got all dressed up to serve camp. As a Peaker, there was so much thrill and excitement in getting to serve camp in our personalized aprons! Campers came onto Main Lawn in all sorts of costumes, eating all sorts of appetizers served by the Peakers.

All of this was followed by a performance put on by the Seniors with the theme “It’s always a good time!”

During dinner, the Peakers sang and welcomed all of camp into the dinging room, serving an amazing dinner! My personal favorites were the spicy tuna rolls and the lemon chicken! After a yummy meal, camp enjoyed ice cream sundaes with delicious toppings!

To finish off an amazing day and night the counselors impressed us all with an outstanding talent show!

Energy filled the air at the Point as all campers came rolling into lazy morning breakfast. Everyone enjoyed the amazing Sunday breakfast of chocolate muffins, lucky charms, hot chocolate, and even rainbow bagels! As Peakers, we all went to lazy morning with the excitement of dressing up for campfire and the first Team Competition.

All of camp was ecstatic to be together as one camp. Everyone’s faces filled with smiles as we sat through an eventful morning campfire. After campfire, both team split into team meeting to cheer loudly and prepare for the track and field meet.

After a delicious lunch, campers tied their sneakers, grabbed their water bottles and got ready for track meet. The events had finally begun, everyone was cheering and competing all around camp. The track meet involved many different events, from long jumps on the beach to archery in the big soccer field. After a few hours of friendly competition the track meet had ended. Everyone’s mouths were watering waiting for Jimbo’s famous Point O’Pasta. Our busy Sunday was followed by a cozy movie night enjoyed by everyone around camp.

This morning we gathered at the Arts and Crafts porch for our Sunday Awards Campfire. But wait!!! A 20 foot movie screen inflated in front of the campers and a newscast played telling us breaking news of a shipwreck on the beach. We rushed to the beach and found our Blue and White leaders who led their Peaker teammates in a sensational dance routine in front of the excited campers. The campers were assigned to the Blue or White teams and went off to team meetings to prepare for the beginning of team competition soon. I am sure the kids will be writing home about these exciting camp events soon! Check out the photo album when you log in!
