I learned how to row a canoe at camp many years ago. Today, 10 girls learned how to throw a punch. The second week of Girls’ Clinic kicked off today, and those 10 girls signed up for boxing because they were intrigued by the new selection on the list. Clinics like boxing are a product […]
The Greeks are away on their annual Greek Trip, which they’ll tell us all about when they return Thursday. While they’re in Lake Placid, the oldest campers left in camp traditionally take over their duties in the Dining Hall, so I got to spend a lot of time in there with the Senior Boys and Girls […]
Today was Carnival. I like to call it the single-most fun day of the summer. We have lots of great events across a Green Lane summer, but no single day packs as much fun into it as Carnival does. The fun really started last night. Last we left off, we were preparing for the annual […]
Tonight is a night for creativity. A Camp Green Lane summer has got plenty of athletics, plenty of competition on our fields and courts all day and all night. There are literally basketballs bouncing late into the night. But our schedule also has plenty of room for the creative minds around camp—Arts & Crafts is […]
Every once in a while we, have a guest blog post and tonight, we are posting an essay from Lauryn Weinshank, who has been part of the Camp Green Lane family since 2017 when her son attended Rookie Day and as they say, “the rest is history.” That is her son Justin in the picture […]
The expression Picture Perfect Day has an image of today next to it in the dictionary. On this red, white and blue Green Lane day, we played under the clearest skies you’ve ever seen. The high temperature at the end of sixth period was 80, and one week into this camping season, the most comfortable evening […]
Tonight, we’re gonna oink like Pigs. Our annual July 4-ish trip to the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs game is always about so much more than balls and strikes and getting to see the Triple-A affiliate of the Phillies play. The smaller venue makes pro ball a little more accessible to us, puts us right next to the action in […]
Today was a picture-perfect camp day. But as beautiful as the summer sights were under clear blue skies, today I want to focus on the sounds of a Camp Green Lane day. Because today you could hear all kinds of magical things happening across camp, from cheers to conversations, to simple sing-alongs between our Sayday […]
We were all covered in paint today. Here at Camp Green Lane, we have days like that. Days when we have so much fun, you can tell just by looking at the pictures of painted, smiling faces that the day was a total blast. Today was our first Heyday on the schedule, but it was […]
It’s hard to believe everyone only arrived the day before yesterday. Because it feels like we’ve been here forever. Of course, in my 15th summer, I feel like that all the time. But these were the thoughts of one of the youngest campers in camp, who was hanging with his boys at the pool talking […]
