Is a seven week sleep away camp for both boys and girls ranging from age six to age sixteen. About twenty campers live in each bunk with six counselors. Job to provide a safe, spirited and fun-filled environment to the campers. As it is the campers first experience away from home, Camp Pontiac helps them become independent and self-confident. A place where campers form life long friendships with people who after nine years end up considering.

At the end of every summer one counselor or camper is designated to create the bunk plaque. The bunk decides on a theme and the artist makes a plaque that encompasses the theme. My first year as a camper, freshman summer, our plaque had a big yellow smiley face on it. This represented happiness and a fun-filled summer. It is important for first year campers to have the best experience. So our plaque portrayed the outstanding first summer we truly had.

My Biggest Struggle As A Counselor. My year as a camper was the greatest opportunity I have ever been given. After my years came to a close I had to realize that my next summer I would not be living in a bunk with my best friends. As Jessie trailed everyone off the bus, I saw her wandering, glassy eyes and recalled. First ride to camp; I, too, had struggled to escape pangs of homesickness. One day I accompanied Jessie to art.

Shelby attends Emory University and happens to live next door to me in my Hall. I was able to interview her in her room which was a comfortable environment for her. We sat on her bed and began talking about our first summer at camp. I asked Shelby what her first day at camp was like. Having my twin sister there definitely helped a lot. The counselors were so enthusiastic, warm and welcoming. N, Apache Relay and Sing.
