How Camp Prepares You for College: Living with a Roommate
This fall, we’re excited to share a special four-part blog series written by Camp Alleghany alumna Carson Gleberman. Drawing from her own experiences at camp and beyond, she explores the many ways the lessons learned at Alleghany continue long after campers head home, including the transition to college and young adulthood. We hope you’ll enjoy this thoughtful series as much as we have.
Summer 2027 Begins October 1!
It may feel like Summer 2026 just ended (because it did!), but here at Camp Alleghany, we’re already looking ahead with excitement to next year.
Registration for Mother-Daughter Weekend, Mini Camp, Term Camp, and our Leaders-in-Training (LIT) Program opens on October 1!
Elizabeth’s Top 5 Favorite Things from Summer 2026
One of my favorite traditions each August is sitting down to reflect on the summer and share my five favorite things. Every year it’s a challenge because there are so many moments I could include, but these are the ones that have stayed with me as I’ve packed up camp and headed home.
Here we go!

LOL Weekend 2026
“Each summer we come here, some things are always new; some things don’t change come what may…”
I nominate “Each Summer” as the theme song for this year’s LOL Weekend. (Depending on your perspective or the moment, LOL stands for Labors of Love, Little Old Ladies, Laughing Out Loud, or all of the above at the same time.) I have three reasons for my nomination, related to those three weekend titles.
Our Partnership with Parents – Communication and Trust
Over the course of this series, we’ve shared a great deal about the policies, procedures, training, and preparations that go into creating a safe camp environment. We’ve talked about how we hire and train staff, how we approach health and wellness, our emergency preparedness plans, waterfront safety protocols, activity-specific safety measures, and the emotional safety of our campers.
Facilities Updates & News: What’s New Around Camp This Summer
One of our favorite things about camp is that it is always evolving. While the traditions and spirit of Alleghany remain deeply rooted, there are always projects, improvements, repairs, and exciting updates happening behind the scenes to help camp function smoothly and beautifully for our campers and staff.
‘Ghany We Will Give 2026
Spring has arrived, bringing warmer days and the promise of summer just around the corner. I find myself eagerly anticipating the start of camp season each year—and we cannot wait to return to the Greenbrier River!
The Place I Call Home, All Summer Long
Most people would argue that home is where you live, however, mine home is away from home. Four hours away from home. A no technology home. On the river home. It’s my camp home.
