Everyone has a new friend at camp now. We held our traditional Pal events this week, which is when every boy and girl at Camp Green Lane gets a new “pal.” We’ll pair younger bunks with older bunks, and the end result is every kid in camp, no matter how old or young they are, gets a new […]
After Free Play last night, the Survivor music came over the loudspeaker, signaling our second surprise event of the summer. All campers were told to report to the Dome, where they were informed all Upper Staff members were hiding from them in places all around camp. Each division, flashlights in hand, was tasked with finding as many […]
Last night was a special night at Camp Green Lane. We held our first Friday Night Services of the summer. The night was hosted by the Inter Girls, who taught us how if the rest of the world worked like camp—full of kindness and rest hour and afternoon snacks—it would be a better place. We […]
Last night was our first all-camp dance of the summer and it was so much fun. We’re still dancing! The Carnival dance is always a special night, and this year was no exception. A new Carnival King and Queen were crowned in front of the entire camp. Congratulations to 2021 Camp Green Lane Carnival Queen Emma Satisky and […]
Last night, we had our 2021 Carnival Lip Sync. The Carnival Lip Sync theme this year was Blast from the Past. Two bunks paired together randomly, one cabin from boys camp and one from girls camp. It could be the youngest boy’s cabin with the oldest girls cabin or they could be the same age! […]
Camp was still buzzing from last night’s fireworks show today. It was the topic of conversation around the picnic tables during Journalism most of the day. But there’s been another kind of booming and banging echoing through camp the last few days as we concluded the Path to Rhythm series this afternoon. For those who […]
Today’s blog was compiled by the Braves, one of the oldest Senior Boys cabins. They are going into 9th grade and they want everyone at home to know they’re having a great time. They wanted to report they had a Fourth of July hockey tournament, and Hayden Basch scored the championship-winning goal. They also wanted to include […]
Today’s post is brought to you by the Inter Boys, our youngest boys in camp. We’ve had an amazing time getting to know each other through division-wide activities like capture the flag, bombardment, water gun fights and swimming. Each cabin is going to share a little bit of their first week with our CGL family. […]
You get out of camp what you put into it. That’s a common message, but when it comes to summers at Camp Green Lane, it is so true. Because you can come to camp and go through all the motions, do all the activities and have a wonderful time. But if you come to camp with […]
Today’s blog was inspired by a conversation by the picnic tables with the ladies of Claridge. Claridge is a Senior Girls cabin made up of some very smart and observant young ladies going into 8th grade. They’ve been together for several summers and they are savvy camp veterans who feel like today we returned to […]
