where it all happens

The Grounds

We're taking over Point O'Pines on Brant Lake, NY — a real summer camp on a pine-covered peninsula in the Adirondacks. Cabins, a dining hall, a boathouse, courts and fields, and a campfire circle with our names on it. Here's a look around.

The stone entrance sign for Point O'Pines Camp on a tree-lined road — The Entrance
The moment you turn in the gate, the weekend officially begins. Deep breath of pine air.

The white boathouse on Brant Lake seen through pine branches, with tall trees behind — The Boathouse
Lakeside views through the windows — this is where Saturday and Sunday yoga happens.

The waterfront on Brant Lake at Point O'Pines, with swimming docks and the Adirondack hills behind — Brant Lake
The dock is for walking out on with a coffee. The brave among us will be back here for the polar plunge.

A tidy wooden bunk cabin at Point O'Pines with plain navy bedding, ready for campers — The Cabins
Winterised, warm, and waiting for you. Claim your bunk early — bottom bunks go fast.

Inside the timber-roofed dining hall at Point O'Pines, with round tables and a view out to Brant Lake — The Dining Hall
Round tables, a bell for meals, and the sign-up sheet on the wall. Slow-cooked Saturday feast happens here.

A family-style buffet spread of salads, meats and sides in serving bowls on a wooden table — The Food
Family style, plenty for all, seconds encouraged. Nobody has ever left this table hungry.

Inside the wood-panelled fitness studio at Point O'Pines, with weight machines and gym equipment — The Fitness Studio
Home of spin class — 45 loud minutes. Playlist by request, mercy by negotiation.

The basketball court at Point O'Pines with a white fence, lawn and Brant Lake behind — The Courts
Blacktop with a view. Basketball here, questionable refereeing included at no extra charge.

The campfire circle at Point O'Pines, with log benches and a stone fire pit looking out over Brant Lake — The Campfire Circle
S'mores, skits, spiked hot chocolates, and the Golden Canoe. You'll just regret missing it.

Point O'Pines on Brant Lake — our home for the weekend. It looks exactly like the films. Possibly better.
