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 […]

Someday, Anyday, Oneday, Heyday, Sayday, Playday, Yayday and Funday replace Friday and her friends here at camp. Each camp day offers each cabin a new set […]
Camp Green Lane burst to life this morning when the caravan of buses rolled into the Circle. There were cheers and tears and hugs and the dearest of friends were reunited after a 10-month wait. There were so many wide eyes and little smiles streaming out of those buses, and just like I told you yesterday, […]
I climbed a tree today. I drove an ATV. I played soccer and rode a bike. I should preface all that by telling you I’m 48 and will probably feel all of that over the next several days. But the two saves I made against some serious footballers half my age on the soccer pitch will […]
