It’s been a busy day here between the Arches. This morning, we heard a boom. As she does every morning, Aunt Marnie woke camp with a cheerful greeting and a song over the loudspeaker. But the moment the music ended… BOOM! A loud blast echoed across camp. And then came the stampede. Campers and staff […]
Everyone here is so excited for Color War. It’s all the talk around CGL, from the pool to the picnic tables; who’s going to be captain, what will the themes be, when the heck is it gonna break??? With all the anticipation in the air, and rumors swirling of various Fake Breaks in the works, we […]
If you’ve been around Camp Green Lane for more than one summer, you know there are questions that start floating around five minutes after the final Visiting Day visitor pulls out of camp. When is Color War breaking? What are the themes? Who will the captains be? The answers? No one knows. As July winds […]
What’s on your CGL Bucket List? What do you want to do before the end of Summer 2026? I posed that question to the campers today, and I can’t wait to receive—and do—the responses. Today was Sayday here at camp, so the Boys were at Elective and Leagues and Instructional Swim in the morning. The […]
Tonight, we’re going to be Cool at Camp. At least the Seniors and Greeks are. Some of you may know that a group of CGL alumni (myself included) wrote a musical about overnight camp called Cool at Camp. Over the past three years we have written, scored, cast, choreographed, marketed, and got our show up, […]
Visiting Day should be a national holiday. Today was such an awesome day here at camp. Visiting Day traditions were born and others continued for an ump-teenth summer between the Arches. Families reunited, old friends reconnected and our hearts are full this evening after hugging and kissing our way through a perfect day at Camp Green Lane. […]
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 […]
This has been a bonding week across all of Camp Green Lane, thanks, in part, to all of the activities we’ve done together. As a family. Today, we all went to amusement parks. While most of camp headed to Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom, the Greeks and oldest Seniors were at Hershey Park for the […]
For most teenagers, the summer means no school, sleeping in, lazy days, and less commitments. For the Greek division at Camp Green Lane, the summer means impact, volunteering, adventures, waiting tables and being a counselor in training and most of all enjoying the summer with your best friends!!! Today’s Blog was written by a few […]
Today we took Cabin Photos. While it may not have the excitement of #CGL100 Day or Olympics, or the spectacle of Carnival, Cabin Photo Day comes with its own unique challenges. Mainly, convincing 10–20 campers and counselors to all look in the same direction, making silly faces (until it’s time for the silly faces photos), […]
