COLOR WAR-DAY THREE Before I recap the last 24 hours, I wanted to take a minute to stop and think about the history of Camp Green Lane. We have lots of captains (camper or not) who are second generation Green Laners. To quote sunrise, “The Generations grow through time, and that is how we know […]
Before I get to what happened today, I will recap what happened last night. At dinner, we had our first mealtime mania, which are little games played in the dining hall. Last night was cup stacking, however they could not use their hands to do it. White was victorious. Scavenger Hunt was filled with a […]
Look up in the sky, it’s not a bird, not a plane, its COLOR WAR 2015!!!! Well, it was kind of a plane. All of a sudden, in the middle of first period, a suspiciously low flying helicopter flew over camp. The first time it flew by, people noticed it, but continued their clinic and […]
Camp was fantastic today. The tension in the air is like a bolt of electricity that is pulsing through every camper as we wait for color war to break. The cheering in the dining hall was deafening in anticipation of silent meals. Camp photographers kept their cameras close by, just in case. Campers walked through […]
Dear Camp Families, As I sit on the white house porch writing this newsletter all I can think about is how perfect this moment is. I see senior boys playing whiffleball, Inter girls singing songs in the circle and Cadets playing a round of Frisbee golf. We are all taking advantage of this beautiful day […]
Let’s be real. I can write all about today in camp. I can tell you that league games were played, food was delish, everyone went swimming, but what you really want to know is WHEN IS COLOR WAR GOING TO BREAK??? We are asking ourselves the same question here in camp. The annual chart of […]
Dear Camp Families! Today was a pretty crazy day between the arches. This morning we ran our annual triathlon. Campers from each division competed in the race, which included a swim, a bike ride and run around the camp. It was really nice to see everyone coming together to cheer on our competitors. There were […]
Today was another great day here at Camp Green Lane. We ran a Heyday schedule all morning until the clouds rolled in at lunch. We had an extended rest hour until the rain stopped and then we had activities by division. As we get closer to the end of camp, there are tournaments that need […]
Dear Camp Families, The only word I can use to describe camp today is campy. Everyone is really in a campy mood and there is a lot of love in the air. There are lots of smiling faces between the arches and everyone’s just enjoying a normal camp day. Being campy is an idea that […]
Camp is purring along at the perfect pace. We started a new round of clinics and elective today. The most popular clinic right now is the triathlon training. The campers have been perfecting their running, swimming, and biking skills for the upcoming race on Friday. The weather is supposed to be crystal clear that day […]
