Staff Testimonials

“You may think all camps are roughly the same, but if so you clearly haven't been to the GRP. Beyond the hiking, waterfalls, and playing games with kids, there is the opportunity to connect spiritually with nature and foster greater respect for the wonderful land you become immersed in. Working here allows you to get in touch with your creative, exploring, inner child, the one that somehow gets lost out there in the "real world". It's an experience like none other, and the closeness the staff achieves by having that experience together lasts for years. Never have I worked with a more open, inspiring, and FUN group of people!” ~~ Becca Shareff

“I think the best part about being a staff member at the Green River Preserve is that it doesn't matter if you've been a camper since you were 9 or if this is your first summer at the GRP. By the end of the staff training, it's like you've known everyone forever. And by the end of the summer, it's like a second home. Everyone's experience as a staff member is different, but I can guarantee that you'll act ridiculous, have amazing stories to tell when you leave, meet some great people and campers, and you won't regret that you did it.” ~~ Lizzie Smith

“Working at Green River Preserve has undoubtedly been one of the most important experiences in my life and has intensely shaped who I am as a person. To have the opportunity to do what you love to do is a truly incredible feeling and the sense of community at Green River only amplifies the entire experience. Simply put, I cannot say enough good things about my time working at Green River Preserve.” ~~ Elan Solveson

“For the past eight summers I have given up my weekly massage, my monthly pedicure, my television, my cell phone reception...in exchange for things of real value. Like Ortman, s'mores, and waterfalls. Just kidding about the pedicure part, by the way.” ~~ Ben Wyrick
