Some things never go out of style

When I see some of the many camp offerings that are out there all can think of is, “Wow!” A summer spent learning Mandarin Chinese is an interesting idea. Or how about Trigonometry Camp? Or Computer Gaming Camp? The options nearly make my head spin. Simplicity is elegance But as fabulous as it sounds to […]

A charmed life at Camp Alleghany

Four charms, all silver, petite, and delicate, dangle from my neck. I received my first and most treasured charm seven years ago. A large painting that resembles the charm hangs on my wall among many photographs of family and friends. Links in the chain When I was ten years old, I was given the opportunity […]

Special shipment, please

I was cleaning up and rearranging the house the other day in an effort to create a new sewing area for pursuing my design work. As you can probably imagine, this meant the house getting temporarily worse as I tried to make it work better. There were books moved to different shelves, papers to sort […]

Alleghany gave me roots and wings

Whenever I’m asked to speak about Camp Alleghany, I find it so difficult to put into words exactly what it is that has compelled me to return almost every summer for nearly two decades.

Camp fanatics unite

I’ve said before how passionate I am about all things camp. And yes, Camp Alleghany is my first love. But I can be a real geek when it comes to learning about the entire camp industry, meeting other directors, hearing new and exciting ideas and generally soaking in various perspectives on the role of camp […]

It's o.k. to need Camp Alleghany

It is amazing how quickly you can forget. No matter how many times you’ve been to this place you forget how vivid it is. When the sun is out, the greens are so green you could use them to paint with and the blues…oh the blues…they run deep. The rain is heavy and the sun […]

  Dear Alleghany Families, Happy November! The leaves are still beautiful and it’s been a delightful autumn. The encroaching cold inspires cosiness, wrapping in wool blankets, watching college football, and gathering around the fireplace. We hope you’re enjoying that as Thanksgiving draws near. But all that cold also makes us think of the year ahead, […]
