1-2-3-4, we want Color War! 5-6-7-8, when the heck’s it gonna break?! Camp is buzzing with Color War talk! When is it going to break? Will it be a morning break?! Shower time?! Should we lay out clothes beforehand?! What are the teams going to be?! Camper captains? Song writers? Captains? No matter where you […]
It’s really funny the things I hear when I walk around camp. Kids come up with the craziest ideas about what is going on. They find any reason to believe that something exciting is happening and it is amazing. The newest rumor I am hearing is about blue colored sticks. An Inter girl found a […]
Some people in camp ate very well today. That’s because this morning was the always-anticipated Cooking Camp Within a Camp, the annual opportunity for campers to roll up their sleeves and get in the kitchen to do some incredible things with some talented cooks. Chad Rosenthal, Maria Goldstein, Chef Justin Goldstein and the next-gen team of Luke […]
Today was Playday on the schedule, so that means boys had Clinic in the morning and the girls had Elective. Inter Boys were at the lake and gymnastics and high ropes. Inter Girls had instructional swim and cooking and ping pong in the morning. Cadets played hockey and soccer in the morning and quads and […]
We’ve been talking a lot about kindness and generosity within the confines of camp, but today, the Greeks got an opportunity to do some good outside of the arches. This morning, they boarded buses in the Circle and headed into Philadelphia for a day of service. CGL Greeks volunteered at the Jewish Relief Agency, where they […]
Another visiting day has come and gone. 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, sometime there is nothing wrong with a cool overcast day, we […]
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 National Camp Kindness Day. We believe kindness is something we lean into every day here at Camp Green Lane, but today is a day when camps across America take time to practice intentional kindness. Camp Kindness Day was created in collaboration with the American Camping Association in 2018. Here at CGL, that means the Canteen is transformed on […]
What a day this was! Today was quite an eventful day in (and out) of Camp Green Lane! Immediately after breakfast, in order to beat some of today’s heat, we played a series of intercamp games against Camp Nock-a-Mixon. Our girls traveled to their camp and we welcomed boys teams competing at various age groups. […]
