Moving on up

When you go to Camp Alleghany, you’re able to choose four activities to fill your days during your stay. There’s lots of things to choose from; tennis, dance, canoeing, rifle, arts, sports, nature studies, archery and more. They’re all so fun that it’s tough to narrow it down and pick only four! But on the […]

Strategic packing

With camp starting in just 31 days it’s time to think about packing! For our first campers, camp is now only a month away! That made me start thinking about my own packing needs and why I need to plan ahead for the packing process. It can creep up on you before you know it! […]

What do I love about being a ‘Ghany Girl?

For those of you who have seen our “old” video, you’ll know that it was a lot of fun to make and was wonderful to show to potential new campers and their families, as well as long time ‘Ghany Girls. But a couple of years ago we decided we needed a new video. As you […]

Sure shot

Camp is getting closer and closer now and I thought that would make a great time to write about our activities to give you a taste for what’s on offer. On the first evening of camp, campers actually enjoy a show put on by the counselors to explain what each activity has to offer and […]

The simple life

One of the many reasons I fell in love with Camp Alleghany is its simplicity. I still revel in the small things at camp, particularly the sounds. I just love the Katydids at night, and that big bull frog down in the river who ribbits most of the night. I relish the lonely train whistle […]

Less is more at camp

During the school year, all I (and most kids my age) want to do in our free time is hang out with friends, go on the computer, text, and watch TV. But something different happens when summer rolls around. Then, I can’t wait for camp to start, which basically means giving it all up for […]

First time campers can do it…and so can mom!

A friend e-mailed me the other day because she’s considering Camp Alleghany for her daughters. She asked if I could tell her a little about it. Well, I started to reply and couldn’t stop typing. I went on and on about the tents, the river, the food, the activities. There’s so much to talk about […]

Hop to it!

Since we still have some openings for Hoppers in both camp terms, I thought I’d take a moment to explain why this opportunity is such a great one (and a fun one) for Upstarts. It was a really long time ago ;), but once upon a time, I too was a ‘Ghany Hopper. At that […]
