Greetings Crosley Family and Friends! It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here and Christmas is a little over 50 days away. We know the school year has been filled with questions, travel plans have been put on hold, and many of us are feeling fenced in. Hopefully, some of these updates from your […]
COVID-19 Update: Letter from the Director
Dear Crosley Friends and Families, We, here at Camp Crosley, are thinking of you in these uncertain times. I hope you all are safe, well, and focusing on the family.

Crosley Alumni’s BIG Day
Currently Postponed! We will update all of you with the new date soon. Alumni and alumni families, MARK YOUR CALENDARS! May 30, 2020, is our first ever Alumni BIG Day! Why call it a BIG Day? Well, years ago at camp we always had theme day in the middle of the week. It was a day […]
You Have to let go of One Thing
It was a beautiful December day, and I was outside on our high ropes course with a few other staff members. Sunny, 40 degrees, little wind – the perfect day to make a video of my climbing an element we call “The Vertical Playground.” It was all my brilliant idea… or so I thought at […]
Brightened the Corners
Today is a cloudy day at camp – cloudy, gray and not gonna lie, pretty darn dismal…in other words, typical Indiana weather this time of year. I happened to be in the dining hall looking for some supplies, when I noticed the new corner display in the Dining Hall – a display that is the culmination […]
Facing Fears Together
It’s a wrap on another annual Mother/Daughter weekend here at Beautiful Camp Crosley! Every year brings new moms and daughters as well as long time returners. This year was bittersweet watching one grandma get a little weepy knowing her oldest granddaughter is heading off to college next year and may not be a part of […]
A Mom’s View of Mother/Daughter Weekend
Mom’s, can I be honest with you? Sometimes, I get pulled in so many directions, and I wear so many hats that I completely lose myself. Can anyone relate? Yeah, I guess that was a rhetorical question because I’ve never met a mother, or any woman, quite frankly, that hasn’t or doesn’t completely lose herself […]
What do you do After Camp is Over?
Every summer after camp has ended a lot of my friends and family ask, “What do you do with yourself all year now that camp is over?” Every summer I smile an exhausted smile and reply, “Start on next year.” Our Groups and Retreats programming runs year round so there’s little time between the time […]
Winter Camp for Ages 12-16
It might be 85 and muggy out, but we all know how fast that can change in Indiana! Parents, you may have just gotten everyone back off to school, but winter break will be here before you know it, and we’d love the chance to help you keep your kids entertained in a safe, fun, […]
A Back to School Prayer
This morning as I started my routine of quiet coffee alone before my daughters awoke, and the family pets made their needs known – before the world came knocking at my front door making its daily demands, I sat alone in quiet reflection, pen in hand, and the Still Small Voice led me to pen […]
