Banquet 2018 and Awards

August 8th, 2018

Banquet 2018 was a Journey to the Stars, piloted by the great Peak of 2018. Peak 2018 has amazed us all summer with their fine sportsmanship and warm relationship with all the younger campers. Tonight they brought the summer to a crescendo with an epic banquet. They will always have a place amongst the stars, and in our hearts.

Campers of the Week – Courage 2018

August 5th, 2018

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.

Button up at Campfire

August 5th, 2018

Collecting each year’s button from the five year campfire is a tradition at Point O’ Pines since at least 1989. Campers love to clip them on their jackets or camera straps to show the many years they’ve been at the Point. Our campers actually get to make designs for the button each summer down at Arts and Crafts. “The winning of the design made me learn to believe in myself…I can have a memory that will last a lifetime”, says last year’s button designer, Alex. The designer of this year’s button, Phoebe, shared, “I was really proud of myself to see my design. I really like it.” We love creative fun at camp and are so proud of all the talented designers who designed buttons. What will next year’s design look like?

All buttons since 1989

Alumnae, how many of these do you have at home?
