The 10 part is over. Now comes the 2. After waiting 10 long months to be in our summer Happy Place, Camp Green Lane came alive today when the first bus rolled through the Arches for the start of Summer 2026. One wide-eyed child after another spilled into the Circle, found their way into group hugs and […]
Hello, CGL family! Only one more sleep (if your excited campers can sleep, that is!) until the greatest summer ever gets underway! As we mentioned yesterday, this year is #CGL100, and we’ll be spending the entire summer celebrating Green Lane’s 100th birthday.

So we wake up early, as you read about yesterday, and we stay up late, which is where the seeds for today’s story were […]

A Camp Green Lane tradition, now in its seventh running, the Polar Plunge came to camp with Aunt Rose and continued this morning with some new faces. And some old ones, too.
