It all falls down

Confronted with the first seasonal change after a camp summer I find myself faced with some fierce realities. Most importantly: SUMMER IS OVER!? What on earth am I suppose to do!? Another summer is behind us and a whole bunch of unknowns lay ahead. Open space technology One of the things that I love about […]

Checking out to check in

I admit it, it’s hard to leave Camp Alleghany at the end of the summer. It seems I’ll use any excuse to go back! And I’m not the only one. That’s why this past weekend the administrative team met for a fall retreat to do our annual review of how the summer went. It was […]

The 10 years letter series

I can’t believe the 2012 camp season is over and I am back at home. Summer is winding up and autumn is around the corner. The days are decidedly less full of activity as they were at camp but I’m enjoying having more time with my husband Matt and my little Green Teamer, Mason. Soon […]

Helping kids become better citizens through summer camp

“The organized summer camp is the most important step in education, in the broadest sense, that America is giving the world,” said Harvard University President Charles W. Eliot, over seventy years ago. On this basis we have developed the philosophy of summer camping in which we strongly believe, based on the theory that a democracy […]

A year is round

A few days ago, I received a letter from a camp friend who had stayed for second term. She sent it the second-to-last day of camp, and so it arrived after camp had finished. Reading the letter made me so nostalgic for my camp days and I can’t help lingering in that camp mindset just […]

Saying Goodbye

As is the tradition, Friday night, the last night of first term, was Baby’s Boats campfire. It was raining that night, so first we had the campfire portion of the evening in the play hall. Awards were given out, such as friendliest camper, happiest camper, etc. Afterwards, we made our way to the pathway behind […]

Cate Wilcox to camp and to mom: Thank you!

I wish I had the vocabulary to express my feelings at the moment. Bringing my Mom to camp* for the first time was altogether healing. Coming to camp for the first time myself at age 13, all the way from Arizona, was a life-changing journey. So life-changing, in fact, that at 25 I’ve now made […]

How Ghany girls weather the weather

I hope parents have been receiving my emails about how camp life has proceeded apace in spite of record heat and blustery storms. But if not, this column is for you (and for friends of Ghany who are wondering what camp is like this year). First off, ‘Ghany Girls are resilient, cheerful, and willing to […]

The drop off

My daughter Chloë is Camp Alleghany-obsessed. She loves everything about it and, it seems, has already planned out her next seven summers there, from her final one as a camper next year, and on to what she hopes is a great career as first a JC, then a counselor, and then who knows what. So […]
