This 1945  piece offers insight into Assembly and Chapel in the first half of the 20th century at camp, very differently than today.

Junior Counselors’ Annual Vespers

Each summer our Junior Counselors (JCs) lead one of our Vespers. We hold four Vespers events each summer, happening on Sundays at four in the afternoon, and intended as a time for non-denominational and non-religious reflection and group introspection. When any group leads the Vespers, it’s their chance to shine, to lead, to help guide […]

NCCCs Vespers

This summer we held another special Vespers that was conducted by the orange members of our Non-Camper Counselor Club (NCCCs). Vespers is a time of reflection and so this group offered reflections on their time at camp so far. The majorty of this year’s NCCCs were brand new to camp. What was so wonderful about the Vespers was how emotional and […]

Songfest

July 31, 2014 By Elizabeth Shreckhise

Sing, sing a song

It’s one of my biggest goals to bring back the singing at Alleghany. Yes, we sing a lot, but many — too many — of the traditional songs have been lost by the wayside. For some reason or another, certain Campfire or Assembly songs are sung less and less each year to the point where […]

The Rattler: Silence

Call it a moment of Zen, mystical reflection, or the contemplative life. But I found a very spare but uplifting piece in an old edition of The Alleghany Rattler — 1959 to be exact — titled “Silence,” and written by then Chaplain Bill Beal that has soothed my soul. It came at a timely moment […]

Two homesick first-time 2013 campers register early for 2014!

Meet Taylor Pounders (12) and Ellie Williams (11), each from Richmond, Va. Both first-time campers for first term 2013, they didn’t know each other before camp and met only briefly while at camp. However, their mothers (your humble narrators) bonded through a coincidental meeting and recently got the girls together for lunch. Our mother-daughter (x2) […]
