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 […]

“Today was the most fun day of the summer!” a Cadet Boy said as we walked down a giant hill in another camp. He and his friends had just blanked Camp Nock-a-Mixon, 2-0, in a U12 soccer game. It was their first Intercamp Games experience and they were walking on air, about to board a yellow […]
Every Friday night, Uncle Max asks us to turn to our neighbors and say something you’re excited for this week. Every Camp Green Lane week features at least one special event, trip or activity we mentally circle. Looking at the calendar this evening, the coming week may be the most exciting non-Color War week of the […]
Today was Rookie Day, when Camp Green Lane hosts future campers and their families for a day of activities. I always wonder what those little ones are thinking, seeing and eventually remembering about their first CGL experience. What was the most fun activity? Did they make a new friend? For some, today was the very […]
