Today was our first “real” camp day. We were also treated to some of the most magnificent summer weather we can remember. Temperatures were mild and the most pleasant breeze made its way through camp all day. It was a picture-perfect day to get going as a camp. Yesterday was all about arrivals and getting acquainted with […]
Camp is back in session! The buses pulled into the Circle this morning to officially start the Camp Green Lane Summer of 2024. Campers came off the bus laughing and hugging old friends, happy to be back in their summer home. With fresh haircuts and new shoes and wearing their coolest shirts for the first day of camp, they arrived […]
Today Camp Green Lane was filled with the sounds of summer. Counselors and staff had the opportunity to go through a typical camp schedule. That means Reveille woke us up. We had French toast sticks for breakfast and went back to the cabins to clean up, just like we do every day. Then it was […]
Greetings from Camp Green Lane! We’re having an awesome time getting to know each other during this week of Orientation. The staff is getting used to their surroundings and learning all about what we expect of them as counselors and specialists. They come from as far away as Perth, Australia, and as close as Plymouth […]

After dinner is the Cabaret Dance, when we get dressed up for […]
If you could spend one last day at camp doing anything you want, what would it be? Today, campers got the freedom of doing just that during our annual Choice and Challenge Day. In the morning, cabins could pick the activity of their choice. Holiday did karaoke and Regency went to gymnastics. Hyatt and Hershey played in the […]
Today was our last pizza lunch. With last night’s trip to ice skating and this morning’s jaunt to paintball for the oldest boys in camp, we’ve taken our last yellow bus trips of the summer. Tournaments are wrapping up and Leagues winners have mostly been crowned. After starting the summer with a blank canvas […]
Tennessee is from Connecticut. Miles comes from Pennsylvania. They met here at camp a year ago when they were both in the same cabin. Tennessee is going into fifth grade. Miles is going into fourth. Every year at Sing, there’s always one spectacular show of sportsmanship or friendship. I remember a few years ago, one […]
