Hurray for counselors!

It’s official, counselors are the bomb! An institution no less than the vaunted Old Grey Lady — aka The New York Times —has as much as said so in a recent Style section Parenting piece by psychologist Michael Thompson, Ph.D., a school and camp consultant. (Dr. Thompson is also the author of Homesick and Happy: How […]

Camp hits the bull’s eye

I’m often reminded of camp. I spent nine summers there, three of them as a counselor. And then I returned to be a counselor the first year of Mini Camp. It should be no surprise that habits learned at camp are deep within me. Some are closer to the surface than others: I still make […]

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 […]

Camper to counselor in a very purple step

Whenever my friends tell me about their fabulous plans for the summer, such as going to the beach, Europe, New York City or some other far-off place, I secretly smile. What they’re doing may be fabulous. But to me, all summers pale in comparison to a summer at Camp Alleghany. And I’m not shy about […]

Why camp counseling is a top job

It’s difficult for me to imagine a more demanding and multifaceted job for young people than being a camp counselor. Yet not everyone sees it that way. At first glance, sure, there’s plenty of fun in camp counseling. But does having a chance to take a swim in the afternoon mean that everything else a […]

Elizabeth’s Top 5, Summer 2011

As I’m sure you can imagine, there are so many wonderful things about each summer at Camp Alleghany. Just being here is so special for me. And of course, it goes by way too fast. In reflecting on this particular summer—our 90th summer as a girls camp!—I experienced the same thing I always do—the impossible […]

It just keeps getting better

Having been here for three weeks now things are starting to fall in to place. Now oblivious to the various bugs and beetles that are frequent visitors during early morning showers, we’re now in to the swing of camp life. With Miss Hazel’s amazing cooking and Miss Becky’s fabulous desserts sustaining us, naturally we’re all […]

Time flies when you're having fun

The last week of the first term was the busiest week and really made the term fly by! Monday Evening activity on Monday was a Blue v. Gray airband competition. It was followed by the ever mysterious four-year initiation. There were around 25 new Four Years initiated, but since it’s a secret ceremony, there isn’t […]
