I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'

Snowy Days on the Preserve

By Hayne Beattie-Gray on January 22, 2022

A week ago today, the snow began to fall here at camp. Our first snowfall of this winter season blanketed the Preserve with nearly 18” of superfine, sugary powder. The amplified hush of a snow-laden forest is a rare and wondrous experience. For the few of us that call GRP home year-round, the invitation to bundle up and head out to explore and play was irresistable. We hope you enjoy these images of GRP transformed.

Imagine a GLP that involved skiing up to Lower Bald for sunset!

I’m Hayne and I am the Director of Communication and Strategic Partnerships on our administrative team here at camp. I wear many hats throughout the year as we are a small yet mighty group. I have spoken with or emailed with many of you as you register your children for camp, seek clarity around the best session or course for your camper or expeditioner. I work in collaboration with Anne to find and write grants that will allow our camp to grow to support the needs of our programs as we dream big and look ahead.
