What was it that Tevye said about tradition in Fiddler on the Roof? I believe it was: “Because of our traditions, we’ve kept our balance for many, many years.” At Camp Green Lane, we’ve kept our balance for many years – 92 years, to be exact – by standing on the pillars of traditions that […]
Hello all, and Happy October from Between the Arches! We can’t believe that Autumn is upon us when it feels like just yesterday that the buses were rolling into the Circle to start the summer. In the seven weeks since camp ended, much has changed. The trees are turning vibrant shades of red, orange and […]
The tears are starting, the hand holding is more prevalent, the songs are being sung. The summer has come to an end. Although your children will be happy to see you, they will carry a void with them when they return home. Today is the last full day that your children get to spend with their […]
I get to spend each day at the pool watching campers smiling, splashing & playing…ok and maybe an occasional complaint about instructional swim. I have an amazing job & had the best time as the Pool/Aquatics Director for my 2nd full summer here at Camp Green Lane. I am so proud of the kids who […]
