Activities

Our Cabin Counselors offer a wide range of super fun-filled activities ranging from sports to water activities to games to hiking to off-campus excursions. The only limitations to activities are safety and the creativity of our staff. In 2008 we attended a real Vermont rodeo, created one of the best-ever Carnivals, Captured the Flag many times, and did so much more.

Evening activities include movie night, a dance night replete with party theme, costumes, decorations and a music mix for dancing, improv games, performance music workshops, attendance at our faculty concerts, campfire skits and songs, and magical star gazing.

Drama

Campers have numerous opportunities to be dramatic and are called in to action for campfires, evening improv games and cabin inspection. These imaginative skits are real camp traditions and provide laughter and memories.

Water Activities

With 450 feet of lake frontage, Lake Dunmore beckons. We offer canoeing, kayaking, and swimming on our lake. Certified lifeguards supervise all swim periods; strong swimmers often join the sunrise swim across the lake! And the water isn't cold, really.

Sports

Favorite sports at camp include knock-out basketball, ping-pong, Capture the Flag, frisbee, newcomb, soccer, and badminton, and various pick-up games and tournaments. Early morning runs/jogs are often an option. Yes, this is a music camp, so you don't have to be a super-star to play. We often create our own games and variations of different sports.

Arts and Crafts

Creative expression is definitely encouraged at Point CounterPoint. Arts and Crafts - range from mask-making to marbling paper or sewing quilt squares. The Art Barn is a good place to let your creativity loose to make giant monsters out of cardboard or perhaps a white ash painting.

Nature Nurture

Surrounded by nature on the shores of Lake Dunmore and at the foot of the Green Mountains, Point CounterPoint is the perfect setting to explore nature and to nurture a greater appreciation for the natural world that surrounds our camp. Hiking the falls around the lake, picking fresh blueberries and baking pies to share for dessert, canoeing on the lake with the loons brings the wonders of the natural world close. Campers start to understand their responsibilities for our physical world. Nature at our doorstep enhances the musicality of the camp.
