I’ve been to hundreds of games in my life. If I counted, I might even get close to 1,000. Of all those stadium experiences, none are as much fun as our annual trip to Coca-Cola Park to see the IronPigs. It has everything to do with the company. Last night, we loaded up yellow buses and […]
I wandered over to the Greeks’ evening activity last night under the pretense of helping set up. In reality? I just wanted a sneak peek. My son is in Delta, and we have an unspoken agreement to give each other plenty of space. It’s his last summer as a camper and my first year back […]
Today was Funday. It was also the last day of the regular schedule rotation, or the eighth of our CGL days. Today we started the morning with Super Clean Up; the Boys had Elective, Leagues, Tournaments and cabin games while the Girls had Leagues and activities before cheeseburger lunch. The afternoon saw the Girls go to their Electives, […]
Today, Aunt Melissa, Aunt Jess, and I climbed aboard the buses with about 60 girls and their coaches and headed out for our first Intercamp Games of the summer against Camp Nock-A-Mixon. Our 12-, 14-, and 16-and-under teams competed in soccer and basketball at their camp while our boys welcomed Nock’s teams here at CGL. As […]
We goof around a lot here at camp. But there’s also plenty of good, clean competition, too. I spent a lot of time out on the Hockey Rink the past few days for our annual July 4 ball hockey tournament, and again today for a Leagues game overtime. Both games were fierce. All the boys playing really […]
If you were anywhere around camp at approximately 4:00 this afternoon, you probably heard a familiar call echo through the trees. Within seconds, campers and counselors wrapped up Juice Squad, dropped what they were doing, and made their way to the tennis courts. CGL Survivor 2026 has officially begun! For our new campers and families, […]
You always have to weather a storm to find a rainbow. Well, Camp Green Lane was treated to a beautiful rainbow Friday evening before the Carnival Dance. A brief rainstorm chased away the worst of this week’s heatwave and brought in cooler temperatures and the most perfectly beautiful rainbow that stretched from arch to arch. Magical. Then […]
If you ask almost any Green Laner to name their favorite day of the summer, there’s a good chance they’ll say Carnival! And today, it was easy to see why. The Dome transformed into a big top filled with creative, and somewhat hilarious booths (ie: Opinions with the Orioles, where campers can sit and ask […]
Today was hot as can be. But today was also fun as can be. In 1926, the year Camp Green Lane opened, there was a terrible heatwave here, too. It was worse, though. Between July 19-23, 1926, camp was cooked during a reported “hyper-heatwave” with temperatures breaking triple-digits during one of the most intense heat events of […]
If you’ve checked the weather app today, you already know: it’s hot. Fortunately, so do we. After 100 summers, we’ve learned a thing or two about camping in the Pennsylvania sunshine, and keeping campers safe, comfortable, and having fun in the heat is something we take very seriously. When temperatures climb, we switch over to […]
