Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
Dedication
We recognize a camper who gives 100% of her effort to whatever challenge she faces. She is not only enthusiastic about her own passions, but is also supportive of her peers’ interests and goals. Her “can do” attitude and commitment is contagious among her friends and is valued by her counselors. She is a hard worker and respects others when they demonstrate dedication by trying new things and following through on promises made.
Gratitude
A grateful heart is a happy heart. Campers who show gratitude spend each day expressing moments that made them happy. Their consistent expression of gratitude encourages being more thankful and more thoughtful about others. They express thanks and appreciation for all that they have both at camp and back at home.
Bravery
This award is given to a camper who is brave and is able to overcome her fears. She is able to try new things or do the right thing when it is not the easy choice. This camper knows the difference between right and wrong, and is willing to make good choices even when what is right does not match what is popular. She is brave at activity areas, where she tries something new or outside of her comfort zone. She is fearless when it comes to reaching her goals, standing up for what is right and making camp a better place for all.
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 excitement of friends who live across the country (and the world) coming together. Hugs and smiles. Sharing memories. Rekindling the joy of summer friendship. How wonderful to see so many of our campers and staff together.
In this first camp reunion since 2019, we not only shared a memorable summer video and our captivating yearbook, we also shared a preview of new camp trips for every age group in camp next summer. Parents, be sure to ask your campers about these new adventures. We will share more details as camp approaches.
We had another opportunity to thank our historic Peak of 2022 for their guidance and nurturing of the whole of camp this summer. As we approach Thanksgiving we know even more than ever how very much we have to be thankful for. Point O’Pines Camp is a treasured community, and that magic is created each summer by our campers, dedicated staff, and parents and family who generously give the gift of camp to their daughters. That magic is treasured for a lifetime. Thank you all!
Please enjoy the reunion photos posted in the photo albums when you log in.
