The culmination of our 2026 season was nothing short of extraordinary. We gathered in the heart of the Promised Land to celebrate Tripp Lake Camp’s 115th anniversary with more than 400 alumnae and mothers alongside their current camper daughters. From seven-year-old campers experiencing their first summer, to alumnae in their seventies returning to familiar grounds, the weekend radiated camaraderie, excitement, and adventure. It was a powerful reminder that while decades pass and generations shift, the “Spirit of Tripp Lake” remains constant—connecting campers, alumnae, and families in ways that feel timeless.
Cheers echoed through the Dining Hall, songs were sung with pride at Assembly, and spirited Team Games brought out laughter and friendly competition. The waterfront stayed busy from morning until evening, with swimming, boating, and joyful reunions on the shore. In the art shops, bracelets, rings, and paintings came to life as creative energy flowed. Under the Trees, voices joined together in favorite camp songs, filling the air with tradition and harmony. Hugs and warm embraces were shared everywhere—between lifelong friends reunited, between moms and daughters experiencing TLC together, and in memory of those who could not be there but were deeply felt.
Among the weekend’s many highlights, Saturday evening stood out as especially meaningful. We were joined by the song leaders who composed two of Tripp’s most iconic songs—Happiness and Ebb of Time. Alongside their former teammates, they led us in those beloved pieces and many others, before the much-anticipated and always entertaining OG-NOG talent show.
None of this would have been possible without our extraordinary staff. Having already dedicated their summer to creating a magical season for our campers, they poured themselves fully into ensuring that our alumnae and families could relive the joy, traditions, and connections that define TLC. Their warmth and energy carried the spirit of camp into every corner of the celebration.
As we reflect on this milestone gathering, we are profoundly grateful that Tripp Lake Camp continues to offer generations of girls and women the same enduring gift: a place where friendships are forged, traditions are cherished, and memories last a lifetime. The Spirit of Tripp Lake does not fade—it only grows stronger, carried forward by all who have called this camp their home.
All our TLC Love,
Liz, Katie and Georgia
