Founded in 1926, Camp Green Lane is a traditional seven week overnight camp. It lies nestled among hundreds of beautiful rolling acres in rural, pristine, eastern Pennsylvania. Thousands of families from all over the United States have considered Green Lane their summer home because of the warm, safe and secure, nurturing Jewish environment. It’s a place where kids can enjoy just being kids, where old fashioned fun is the top priority, where the bottom line is happiness.

Marc Merves (B.ED) – Program Director, started CGL as a camper in 1994, and was a counselor, Color War captain, group leader, and supervisor before becoming the full time program director in 2005. Marc is responsible for the planning of every activity in camp from reveille to lights out, from the first day to the last.

Mel Brodsky (B.A., M.A., M.Ed)- Owner, Director/Emeritus, has held every position the camp has to offer since his first year at CGL in 1950. Mel was also an all-star basketball player at Temple University, coached at Villanova University, and is an inductee into the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame; he was a long time teacher and an award winning principal in a suburban Middle School. Mel is in camp 24/7, and his wife Penny, one of many Green Lane marriages, is the Inter Girls supervisor.

Jon (Jake) Weston (B.S) – Director, came to CGL as a counselor in 1993, and rose through the ranks to become the fulltime director in 2004. He is a graduate of Florida State University, and was teaching in Florida in 2001 when Mel reached out to him to become a full time member of the Green Lane family. Jon’s wife Carri helps out in camp in many areas but her full time occupation is chasing after their little boy Benjamin.

Mel, Jake, and Marc devote all of their time and energy to ensuring that Green Lane will always occupy a treasured part in every camper’s heart.
