Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
Courage
This award is given to a camper who has the courage to do what is right, even when what is right does not match with what is popular. Her bravery is represented in social situations and at activity areas, where she has worked hard to try something new or outside of her comfort zone. She is fearless when it comes to reaching her goals and making camp a better place for all.
Authenticity
This award is given to a camper who is able to be her true, whole self in all contexts around camp. She is honest and sincere. No matter the situation, she keeps her personal values in mind and behaves in ways consistent with those values. She respects other campers’ authenticity as well, and doesn’t try to change others into people they are not. This camper appreciates diverse perspectives, but stands up for what she believes is right.
Positive Attitude
This award is given to a camper whose energy lifts up those around her. She embodies the idea that positive attitude doesn’t mean always being in a good mood, but knowing that even if a bad mood comes, keeping a positive perspective can lead to growth and bonding. This camper approaches challenges with excitement and her sunny outlook on life shines throughout camp.
We were so glad to welcome our Point O’Pines families to visiting weekend. Sharing camp fun with you was a pleasure, and sharing a little of our pride in the accomplishments of your wonderful children is a special treat. We were even able to stay cool in the lake, and on Saturday our younger campers who had their visiting on Friday got to enjoy a special fun packed day at our farm. That was a blast. Once the parents started their journey home we got a bit soaked here at Camp with our annual water-fight.
Thanks again for heading up here to the Adirondacks and sharing such a great time with us.
We are now looking forward to an action packed next few weeks! Today we will be out on the lake for our Team Competition Aquatics Meet, just the thing before cooler weather arrives this evening.
Determination
We recognize a camper who gives 100% of her effort to whatever challenge she faces. She is not only enthusiastic about her own passions, but is also supportive of her peers’ interests and goals. Her “can do” attitude is contagious among her friends and is valued by her counselors. She is a hard worker and respects others when they demonstrate determination by trying new things and following through on promises made.
