Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
Citizenship
In this final week we recognize the rare camper who embodies all of the qualities we have highlighted throughout the summer. These are great all-around campers who show the ideals of what it is to make our community better by being a part of it.
What a great team competition this summer from an alien breakout and then scavenger hunt to a nail-biting Wacked-Up Relay to last night’s superb Team Sing. Both teams were amazing players and great competitors. Our Peakers were inspirational leaders for the younger campers. There is an overall winner and this year it is the White Team.
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.
