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.

Banquet is also the time to recognize the truly outstanding campers with awards both for this year and for their entire history at Point O’Pines Camp. We are so very proud of them and hope you will be too.
