My first summer at Green Chimneys was the 2021 camp season.
My favorite memory was definitely the moment that I saw the returning campers from the year before. They remembered and recognized me, and getting to see how much they grew up is one of the most beautiful things I experienced at camp.
Camp gives me happiness, being in contact with wonderful kids, with nature, with animals all day long makes a great day—having all those things at work makes me feel so grateful and blessed. Not everybody gets the chance to work at a place like this.
My favorite songs are “The Great Big Moose” and “Peanut Butter Reese’s Cup”.

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
