With just 66 days remaining before the kick-off to Summer 2024, the panic has begun to creep in. Forms to complete, medications to register, optional activities to select — camp parents are facing a never-ending “to-do” list. And don’t even mention the astronomical task of packing. If you are lucky enough to squeeze your camper into last summer’s shorts and bathing suits, you may just be replacing a flashlight here or a pair of rain boots there (you WILL need to pack rain boots, if summer 2023 is any indication). Let’s be honest, though. Since last summer, many of our Owego boys have sprouted ..read more

Tomorrow we will reach a much-anticipated milestone — ONLY 100 DAYS UNTIL CAMP! Winter’s chill has come and gone, the groundhog made his best prediction, and we lost an hour of sleep.

Some of us have been fortunate enough to get together with our camp friends over the past 6 months. Others may have a regular “group chat” throughout the school year, connecting us even when we are many miles from Greeley. As we enter this 100-day coun ..read more

One day last summer, sometime around mid-July, the air at Owego was so hot and sticky that even at 11:00 pm campers slept with their fans on full speed and their legs jutting out the sides of their blankets. Today just hits different. When we think about camp, we remember the sunshine beating down on our shoulders and the daylight lasting well past dinnertime. But do you ever wonder what camp feels like in the middle of Winter? While campers are occupied with the school year and the privilege of summer camp is just a pipe dream, camp stands still — almost frozen in time. An eerie silence desc ..read more

So gather up your jackets Move it to the exits I hope you have found a friend… Closing time Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.   Every summer has a beginning, a middle, and an end. By the time August rolls around, the light changes and the night air causes goose bumps. Fall is coming. The 2023 camp season has come to a close.

The last few days of camp evoke a multitude of feelings – excitement for being reunited with family, sadness for leaving friends behind, anxiety for the impending school year. At Owego, these feelings are acknowledged and embraced. But we also celebrate. Every summer we celebrate campers’ achievements with division awards, which were handed out today by staff. In the HBC, counselors handed out MVP plaques to top athletes in the various sports played at camp. Campers from all divisions were recognized for achievement in baseball, basketball, archery, pickleball, soccer, and more. At the stage ..read more
