They’re cleaning watermelon off of BB1. The teams are in their respective swim-rally rotations, and the only thing left to do after a week of Camp Green Lane Color War is sing. The White Heroes and Green Gods have waged the closest of Color Wars and today’s Steeplechase was another collision of sportsmanship and tradition […]
A Camp Green Lane Color War has something for everyone. For example, if you’re super into sports, we’ve been going non-stop with cabin activities and traditional sporting events like basketball on BB1 and soccer on Soccer 2. We’ve had buzzer beaters and fingertip catches, and in one Inter Girls softball game, the pitcher from one side […]
Last night was all about the boys. Tonight is for the Female Camper Captains who will participate in The Amazing Race. Prior to the creation of this event, there were several versions of tasks and activities for female camper captains. The boys always participated in Rope Burn, but the roles on the girls’ side have evolved over […]
Man has worshipped fire since the beginning of time. It’s no different here. Since the start of their Camp Green Lane careers, the four male Camper Captains—Abe Genkin, Eli Raskin, Dylan Regan and Skyler Servetnick—have been mesmerized by the signature event of Color War: Rope Burn. I know they have, because we all have been. […]
Today was a long Color War day of cabin activities. From early this morning, we’ve been competing on every field and court here at Camp Green Lane. On the boys side, the Orioles and A’s played soccer, Cards and Blue Jays had softball, Pirates and White Sox played basketball, Royals and Dodgers played softball, Mets […]
Finally, Color War is here. Let’s go back to this morning. Early. I woke up before 7. Went into the bathroom and then things started getting weird. After I flushed the toilet, the water was Emerald-City green. I turned on the shower and the shower turned green, too. Same for the water coming out of the […]
We got BOOMs today. But not the ones we’re waiting for. When Color War breaks—whenever that is—we’ll know it’s the real thing when we hear 3 BOOMs. This morning, right after Reveille, there was 1 BOOM that got everyone out of bed. All of camp descended on BB1, the designated rally point for the break. […]
There are surprises around every corner at this time of the summer. Today’s big surprise was the news that we were going to the movies this afternoon! After lunch (hamburgers) the lower half of camp boarded yellow buses and headed off to the theater to see the new Smurfs movie. A few hours later, the […]
I love this day. The CGL Triathlon and Biathlon were held this morning and it’s something special to watch. Most of us are spectators today, and for those of us who lined the road by BB1 and who crowded the fence at the pool, we got to witness Green Lane magic at its finest. While Inter Boys and […]
The Green Lane Kitchen got quite a workout today. Today was Cooking Camp-Within-a-Camp, one of the most anticipated days in the Dining Hall of the summer. Outside of Cabaret, today is probably the day that features the most exotic and delicious bites of a Green Lane summer. This year’s event brought a host of professional […]
