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.
‘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.
Activity Safety: Adventure, Challenge, and Confidence
When parents think about camp activities such as archery, ropes courses, canoeing, or even rifle, one very natural question comes to mind:
Is this safe?
It’s the right question to ask.
At Camp Alleghany, our goal is not to eliminate challenge. In fact, challenge is an essential part of the camp experience. But it is never unstructured, unsupervised, or left to chance.
Every activity is thoughtfully designed, carefully supervised, and guided by clear systems that allow campers to try new things, stretch themselves, and grow safely.
Waterfront Safety — Fun in the River, Always Supervised
The Greenbrier has always been part of our story. It is part of the joy and the growth that define an Alleghany summer.
But tradition alone is not enough.
Today, that joy is supported by layer upon layer of preparation, supervision, certification, and oversight. The Greenbrier is beloved, and it is managed with seriousness and care.
Help Camp Alleghany Grow and Earn Tuition Credit Along the Way
If your daughter or family member loves camp, you may already be talking about Alleghany more than you realize. This year, we’re simply making it easier, and more rewarding, to do just that.
Safety at Camp Alleghany — More Than Just Rules
In my recent blog, “Why Trust Camp Alleghany?,” I shared how trust is at the heart of everything we do, from how we care for campers to how we communicate with families. But trust doesn’t exist in theory, it’s built through action. At Alleghany, that action begins with safety.
Gratitude in Every Season
The holiday season may seem like an unusual time to keep summertime in our hearts, but as I settle into this cozy season, I can’t help but be reminded of camp.
