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 […]
Today was Someday. But it was really Visiting Day Plus-1. That’s because camp shifts with the passing of Visiting Day each summer. As we alluded to yesterday, Visiting Day represents a turning of the page into the second half of summer and the realization that two weeks from Wednesday, we’ll all be home. Of course, […]
Today was another amazing Visiting Day at Camp Green Lane. Everyone was laughing, hugging, smiling, and of course eating ridiculous amounts of food. It was so nice to look around camp and see generations of families sitting together enjoying the warmth of the arches! And the weather, we deserve it after all this rain and […]
Tomorrow, you will inevitably be hearing about your child’s “best friends.” It’s hard to believe, especially for some of our first year campers that in just four weeks a “best friend” can be made. The truth is when you live with someone, sleep next to someone, play with someone, 24 hours a day, seven days […]
Judging by the smiles and stuffed animals they brought back on the buses with them, our campers had quite a day at Dorney Park! It was a picture perfect day for a trip to an amusement park. Most of camp went to Dorney while the oldest Seniors and Greeks headed to Hershey Park for the […]
