OUR LEADERSHIP & STAFF

With over 200 years of camping experience among our upper staff alone, Camp Green Lane offers exemplary leadership and supervision for your child.

Our staff includes 31 married upper staff members, and more than 100 college-aged counselors, who are responsible for the daily safety and security of every camper. We pride ourselves on the fact that over 95% of our counselors are home-grown. That is, they were once campers with us.

Ultimately, we care for each child as if they were our very own.

WeinersAdam Weiner grew up in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania and is a graduate of Northwood University. Adam began as a camper at Camp Green Lane at the age of ten and was immediately smitten.  He continued through his college years, returning year after year to be a counselor and then a supervisor. During that time, he met and married his camp sweetheart, Rene.  Rene is also a longtime Camp Green Lane camper and counselor. Their union has always carried with it the dream of one day owning the place that they spent the summers of their childhood.  After years of working in the "real world", this dream was finally realized. Adam and Rene live in Center City, Philadelphia with their two sons, Ethan and Jack. Rene spends the winter months teaching preschool.


FreedmansJay Freedman grew up in Erdenheim, Pennsylvania and is a graduate of The Ohio State University. Jay’s first summer at Camp Green Lane was in 1976 when he was an infant and both of his parents were upper staff members. Jay took his first steps while between the arches here at Camp Green Lane. He was a camper, counselor and eventually Assistant Director. Jay grew up with a love of camp and met his wife Melissa when they were just teenagers at Camp Green Lane. Jay and Melissa live in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania with their two children, Emma and Matthew. After pursuing outside ventures, they are thrilled to return to their Camp Green Lane roots. Melissa spends the off season teaching 4th grade with the Philadelphia School district.

Together, the Weiners and the Freedmans bring with them a lifetime of camp experience. Their shared belief that overnight camp is a unique and amazing opportunity that allows children and staff the chance to learn from one another and build extraordinary relationships, brought them back year after year. As directors, they bring with them a long Camp Green Lane history, love, enthusiasm and passion for camp and its traditions. They are eager to help your children create their own lasting camp memories. As parents themselves, they feel the enormous responsibility that is bestowed upon them to provide a safe, healthy, nurturing environment full of positive experiences. You will find them to be hands-on directors who are available to you each and every day.
