Woof! Hey there, future campers! It’s your favorite pups, Gus and Maisie, here to give you the scoop on all the paw-some things you’ll get to do at Geneva Glen this summer! We’ve been sniffing around and can’t wait to tell you about the super-duper adventures that await you!
First things first, you can’t do these things at home—trust us, we tried. Magical creatures? Yep, we’re talking about those! Whether it’s spotting a gnome or fairy (shhh, don’t tell anyone) or hiking through our enchanted woods, GG has some seriously magical spots. We’ve even seen a baby bobcat this winter—how cool is that?!
And if you’re into Ropes (not the chew toys we get), you’re in for a high-flying treat! Get ready to swing, climb, and scale all sorts of fun obstacles. Plus, there’s Archery, where you can shoot arrows like a superhero (or a dog-hero, which is the best kind of hero). Did someone say Horses? While we can’t ride them (we’re not quite tall enough), we sure love to watch campers ride and bond with these big, beautiful animals.
Speaking of bonding, camp is ALL about friendships—new buddies who will stick with you through thick and thin, just like us pups! Whether you’re joining a skit, playing dodgeball, or sliding into the swimming pool, GG is the perfect place to make pals and have LOTS of laughs. Oh, and don’t even get us started on the new Frisbee golf course! It’s coming together and looks like a blast. We might even join in with our paws, just to make it even more fun.
But hey, we know it’s totally normal to feel a little nervous or miss home. It happens to us too! But guess what? We’re all in this together! The counselors are super-duper caring and friendly— they were once first-time campers too, so they know what it’s like. Whether you need a high-five, a friendly chat, or a buddy for your first hike, we’ve got your back.
And did we mention the snacks?! Our chef friends, Les and Heather from Craven Station, are cooking up some tasty treats that’ll make your tail wag! And don’t worry, there’s room for everyone in the cabins—yup, we’re building even more beds to squeeze in as many campers as we can!
This spring, we’ve been watching all the fun changes getting ready for the summer—the new “Alpenglow Cottage” across from the Lodge, landscaping around North Hill, trails getting re-done (thanks, Pendragons!), and even a rebuilt Oh Mama Giant Swing! Camp looks better than ever, and we’re so excited for you to come and check it out!
So get ready for a tail-waggin’ good time. We can’t wait to meet you and show you all the wonders of Geneva Glen!
See you soon,
Gus & Maisie

The Pendragon Society
The Pendragons are a group of volunteers at GG who assist with stewardship of camp facilities and property. The group provides service in helping to keep camp maintained and is a significant source of labor that would otherwise need to be hired.
All are welcome to come and work days are planned for all skill levels. Participation does not require attendance at all work days, come when you can! For more information visit: www.genevaglen.org/pendragons
Around the Property
Stone Age Magic on North Hill
This spring, Dorms G, B, and H got some much-needed TLC with a beautiful new stone patio, walkways, and seating areas. The fresh landscaping doesn’t just look good it also helps with drainage and gives campers more space to hang out. Knighthood attachment talks just got a major upgrade, and rumor has it the new patio outside Dorm H is already the envy of the hill.
Hobbit Hut Upgrade
Our resident hobbit and magical creature expert, Umlaut Took, is moving into a brand-new home: a shire-style Hobbit Hut with rounded doors and cozy nooks just the right size for our youngest campers. He’s even agreed to share his new digs with the Magicology program this summer what a guy!
Roads & Trails
Our dirt-whispering friend, Joe Walton, has been hard at work upgrading the Sky View Trail and Wildflower Lane— two key paths that lead to the Shrine and the Outlook. These improvements will reduce erosion and improve access, especially as we open up trails to the GGIII Forestry Project zone.
The Summer of Seating
If Geneva Glen is good at one thing, it’s inspiring great conversations. That’s why we’ve been on a bench-building spree! Look for new spots to sit and chat across camp, from built-in benches at Bears Corner, to elegant teak benches in the Centennial Brick Garden, to fresh seating at the Ron Williamson Sound Garden, Treehouse, and more. Wherever you’re headed, there’s a place to pause and soak it all in.
Ropes Course Rises to New Heights
Thanks to the help of our friend Sonny Adkins from Camp Shady Brook, our ropes course got a serious tune-up. The Zipline is zippier; the Giant’s Ladder now features a winch system to make setup and takedown smoother, and best of all… Oh Mama is BACK! Named after the legendary moment when longtime former Director and camp legend Ken Atkinson took one look at the valley, soared on the swing, and shouted “Oh Mama!” at the top of his lungs. This fan favorite is ready to launch campers skyward again this summer!
South Hill Roof Replacements
Finally, a shoutout to Alum and Board Member Jacob Hartung, who helped coordinate new roofs for Ashgrove and Mackenzie. It’s not flashy work, but it is critical to keeping camp comfortable, dry, and looking sharp.
Outlook (Carosella) House Updates
Alums will be glad to hear we’re continuing to spruce up the Outlook House with new siding, windows, doors, and deck repairs. It remains a reliable backup spot for rainy overnights, and we’re looking ahead to other creative uses, especially with the new GGIII Forestry Project area opening up nearby this summer.
More than just buildings and trails, these updates reflect our continued investment in the legacy and story of Geneva Glen. Whether you’re returning this summer, sending your kids, or reminiscing from afar, we can’t wait for you to see what’s new at the Glen.
