Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
The staff is here and we’re all eagerly awaiting the arrival of our campers. This year we have a great group with lots of returning as well as some excited new staff. We have been having plenty of fun learning all about Point O’Pines and meeting this years new counselors. This week we had staff breakout and split up into seven color teams and completed events around camp. Congratulations to Red Team who took the win from Yellow Team in a tiebreaker in the musical final event.
Our very own Sub Area Head, Kelly Longwitz, has her beautiful artwork showing at The Little Gallery in Albany, NY. A number of the Point O’Pines crew were able to attend the opening reception – what an exciting event! Congrats to Kelly on her amazing work – we are all so proud of her!
Callie, Tessa and the camp staff had a perfect break in the clouds tonight to watch Venus pass in front of the Sun. We used our solar filters on the camp telescope to safely watch the Sun, and there were quite a few sunspots to see, as well.
The docks are now in and there are already about 30 staff at camp. Things are happening fast and we can’t wait for the buses to roll into camp in 23 days!
We just wanted to thank Town & Country Magazine for honoring us with their merit badge for the Best Camp Food. Check out the article in the June/July 2012 issue (p. 104).
We love sharing a great meal after a busy day with our campers and staff, and we would like to completely redefine what kids and parents expect from camp food.
In just a month you will be here! We have many new menu items planned that you will absolutely love. We are incredibly excited for a great summer.
