Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
The air at camp turned cold last night announcing the arrival of fall. The bunks are eerily quiet and the leaves are just beginning to show a little of what will be soon vivid new colors. Quite a few of your favorite staff are still here at camp, enjoying the beauty of the Point, and preparing for your return.
We have already received so many applications from both new and returning campers for the summer of 2012. We cannot wait for all of you to return to your summer home.
It has been a truly wonderful summer. Thank you all for being a part of it. We are so happy about the summer that has been, and sad to see it finish. Campers, we love you and look forward to being together again, at Reunion and when you return to camp. Thank you to our outstanding staff who brought such life and warmth to camp. We will especially miss our Peakers, who are Peakers forever and will move ahead in their lives, building on the friendships they have made and the lessons we have learned together. The Point is always your home. We love you.
Brandon, Jim, Sue, Sherie and Erin

Thank you to all these girls for their contribution to a wonderful summer.
National Grid, our local power company, has experienced an equipment failure of some sort at their station so we are temporarily without power. Some of our phones have also been affected. They currently expect power to be restored by 8:00. As many of you know, we have full power generation capability so every outlet, light, smoke detector or refrigerator is working fine. We had less than 30 seconds before our full power here was restored, so please don’t worry. Banquet has started and will go off without a hitch.
The important thing is the theme this year is: “The Greatest Show on Earth”. In fact, we have had a power outage for Banquet before. (Alumnae Quiz: Anyone remember the year?)
