We Remember Second Term 2023
Wow, we cannot believe that Second Term is over! We have so enjoyed getting to know each and every one of our Second Term Campers and seeing them grow, reach their goals, and make new friends. The memories they have made this summer will be with them for a lifetime and we are so honored to be even a small part of those memories. We hope Alleghany has touched their hearts as much as they have touched our hearts.
Each term our Head Counselors and Unit Heads get together to create what we call “I Remembers” for each of their camps (Junior and Senior). They present them at our last Campfire of the term, Candlelight Campfire, along with a song they made up about the summer. This year we would like to share these memories with you…

2nd Term Junior Camp Song
“We were all young when we first came here
I close my eyes and flashbacks start
In Junior Camp
Under the apple tree in summer air
See the laughs, dance parties, and smiles
See you make your way to Clare’s porch
and say “hello”
Little did we know
That we were Junior Campers
Throwing water babies
And head counselors said its time for joke of the meal
And we were crying on the swing set
Begging you please don’t go
And we said
Campers please take us somewhere we can have some fun
Pride slide, gaga ball
Something here for everyone
Can you please stay here for another three weeks
It’s junior camp, baby just say yes
So we hang out during free times to see you
You’re all smiles cause camp is so cool
So close your eyes
Stay in junior camp for a little while, oh oh
Cause you were junior campers
Playing tether ball
And head counselors said “it’s time for joke of the meal”
And we were crying on the swing set
Begging you “please don’t go”
And we said
Campers please take us somewhere we can have some fun
Pride slide, gaga ball
Something here for everyone
Can you please stay here for another three weeks
It’s junior camp, baby just say yes”
We Remember Senior Camp…
- Reading Beauty in the Beast
- How many sleeping bags did the 15s need?
- All of the Daddy Long Legs
- Do you want to tie or should we Rock, Paper, Scissors?
- Bonnie’s Final Church
- Butterup a Ball
- 2nd Termers not being good at singing
- Telling everyone to stop laughing at the first campfire when they were really crying
- The Greenbrier Dance, oh wait..
- The epic new Canoe song
- Anna’s fake snacks
- The only tent in Senior Camp that was loud…
- Please apply your face and body paint responsibly
