Kindness Campers receiving this award are those who we all enjoy being around for their bright smiles, welcoming spirits, and inclusive attitudes. Kindness is a behavior marked by acts of generosity, consideration and concern for others without expecting praise or awards in return. This camper can put herself in someone else’s shoes and shows a great understanding of her fellow campers. She is kind and compassionate with all of her fellow campers and staff, and does her best to learn the perspective of others during conflict.
The whole camp woke up to excitement as the Peakers announced there was a blackout in the dining room and to seek light in the Rec Hall. Blackout Breakout had begun!
Everyone ran to the Rec Hall straight from getting ready for breakfast, pajamas and all. We found our Blue and White team leaders standing in the middle of the rec hall, with the rest of the Peaker teammates on stage. All of a sudden, the lights went off and they were glowing under UV lights. They performed a spectacular dance routine in front of the entire camp, split everyone into Blue or White teams, and went off to team meetings—all before breakfast!
Check out the photo album tomorrow for more fun moments from Breakout!
Brandon, Caressa, Callie and Tessa were able to enjoy viewing yesterday’s total eclipse through the Point O’Pines telescope. We drove up to the public beach in nearby Plattsburgh, NY, and were able to share the views with other kids and families at the park. What an experience! We wanted to share some of the photos with our camp community. Wow, amazing!
This weekend we welcomed the Peak of 2024 to camp! The excitement for 2024 began with a beautiful day on Brant Lake. The girls also worked on their plans to inspire younger campers, and even shared ideas for a Breakout to remember. Summer is straight ahead and they are sledding right toward it!
Photos of the weekend retreat are posted in an album when you log in on our website.
We want to once again say a heartfelt thanks for being a part of a wonderful summer at camp. It may have been the best summer yet, with continuing traditions complemented by fresh fun and energy. We are both looking forward to our exciting collaboration with Max Grossman and Nikki Zenkel. We are so happy to congratulate them on their upcoming wedding.
We have asked Nikki and Max to join us as fellow Directors of Point O’Pines Camp. Brandon, Caressa, Max and Nikki will be the Director team going forward, leading a great team of caring staff, and planning great fun surprises for our campers. We look forward to working closely with Nikki and Max for years to come. Jim and Sue will continue to assist us with their advice, ideas and care for the girls while they enjoy more free time in the summer.
We are working on amazing plans for Summer 2024 and cannot wait to announce what is coming! We are excited to see so many of you already enrolled, and encourage families to complete their enrollments so we can be prepared for Summer 2024.
