All-Camp Activities

Counselors offer a wide range of activities for large and small groups- campers can usually choose between two or three organized activities at any one point. One of the advantages of our small size is the special attention we can give; we can adapt our program to suit the interests and energy levels of the campers and involve them in some of the planning through our Camper Council.

Wednesday and Saturday afternoons are set aside for special all-camp activities. For Saturday night campers choose a party theme, create decorations, and make a music mix for dancing and playing games.

SportsFavorite sports at camp include soccer, ping-pong, Capture the Flag, frisbee, and badminton. Campers like to start their own pick-up games but counselors also schedule games and encourage campers to play. Yes, this is a music camp, so you don't have to be a super-star to play. We also like to create our own games and variations of different sports.

Arts and CraftsCreative expression is definitely encouraged at Point CounterPoint. Arts and Crafts - never standardized kits - ranges from mask-making to marbling paper or sewing pillows. The Art Barn is a good place to spend a quiet afternoon with a friend or make giant monsters out of cardboard with your whole cabin!

DramaCampers have numerous opportunities to be dramatic. The imaginative skits that cabin-mates invent for campfires or Sunday's Grand Inspection Round are real camp traditions and thoroughly entertaining. Another favorite is Improv games, where campers act out humorous scenes like those found in the TV show “Whose Line is it Anyway?"

Swimming and BoatingTry waterskiing, tubing, kneeboarding, or canoeing on Lake Dunmore. Certified lifeguards supervise two swim periods daily; strong swimmers can go on our (optional) sunrise swim across the lake!
