All programming for the remainder of our 2024 season has been canceled, including SEE and Farm Feast. We are still looking forward to an amazing summer and Registration for Summer Camp GRP 2025 is open. We will be in touch once our office is back open. Stay well and we will see you again soon!
Inspiring Environmental Stewards
Play VideoWelcome to Green River Preserve.
Green River Preserve is a non-profit coed summer camp connecting children with nature. Our mission is to inspire environmental stewards through a joyful connection to nature.
Located on a 3,400 acre private wildlife preserve in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, this extraordinary natural setting inspires campers to have a greater understanding of themselves, their environment, and each other. Designed for bright, curious, and creative children, our program nurtures individuals and community.
Purposefully small, our summer camp enrollment is limited to 112 campers per session. We offer 1,2, and 3-week summer camp sessions for campers in the rising 1st through 9th grades. Our expedition programs are for rising 8th-12th graders. In the spring and fall, our School of Environmental Education (SEE) is a 3 to 5-day residential outdoor education programs for school groups.
