New Camper Weekend 2017!

locadmin — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 15:38:54 +0000

It’s finally here! New Camper Weekend 2017! Did you know that each June we invite all new campers and their families to spend the whole weekend at camp a few short weeks before opening day? It’s a unique opportunity for campers and their families to connect with staff, meet future bunk mates and really start to feel at home in Greeley, PA. We don’t know any other camp that opens its doors the way we do, and we’re proud of it!

Attending New Camper Weekend? Here’s what you need to know!
Please arrive at camp between 11:30 AM and 12:45 PM on Saturday, June 3rd to experience your first camp lunch! Introductions begin around 1:00 PM. As a reminder, nights in the mountains can be quite chilly, so bring warm and comfortable clothing for the campfire and warm PJs, too! Don’t forget warm bedding or sleeping bags, and remember toiletries and towels as well. There will be free time to explore, so if you’d like to play, boat or swim as a family, bring tennis racquets, softball gloves, and bathing suits.

Stay tuned for live updates and photos from what will surely be a weekend of lifelong memories in the making! WELCOME NEW CAMPERS!

We had such an awesome weekend with our new LOC campers at our Philly area and New York City events! Our new campers got to meet some of their future bunkmates and counselors as they bowled, jumped, ran, bounced and climbed! Their parents had the opportunity to connect with other new parents, too.

Thanks to all new camp families and our amazing staff and campers who made the weekend such a success! And new campers, be sure to stay in touch with one another! Camp is officially less than 5 months away (but who’s counting?)!

We had an eventful weekend with our new families in Devon, PA and New York City and we couldn’t be more excited for summer 2016. Our new campers got to meet some of their future bunkmates and counselors as they bowled, tumbled, climbed, and ate a lot of pizza! Their parents had the opportunity to connect with other new parents, too.

We are so lucky to have so many nice new families and can’t wait to see them in Greeley at NEW CAMPER WEEKEND on June 4-5th! We also hope to see many new faces at our FAMILY SKI DAY on February 27^th. And most importantly, just 165 short days to go until camp!

New Camper Weekend 2015

locadmin — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 14:39:55 +0000

We had the most amazing time last weekend welcoming many of our New Campers and their families to Lake Owego Camp. It was a fun-filled weekend, with blue skies and happy faces. Led by returning Alumni Staff, LJ, Ethan, Harry, Zach, Mickey, Woody and Ferris, assured an unforgettable experience. They ate yummy camp food from grilled hot dogs and burgers to a camp favorite, BBQ chicken. They climbed, they canoed and kayaked on the lake, they played basketball, tennis, gaga and soccer. They did the Wackiest Relay Races and Saturday night enjoyed a traditional Owego Campfire with Bill South, Ethan and Chris running the show. Funny games, skits, stories, guitar playing and of course “You Can’t Ride My Little Red Wagon” was heard throughout all of Greeley PA!

Parents enjoyed meeting with the the directors and asking everything they wanted to know about camp and got to connect with other parents who have made this incredible choice to give the gift of Lake Owego Camp to their sons. Memories and lifelong friendships await…let summer 2015 begin!
