Camper Creativity at GRP

At Green River Preserve campers exercise and explore their creativity in new ways each day. From collaborative boat building in Nature Art to Large Format Puppetry plays by the lake, campers get the opportunity to express themselves in diverse and exciting ways. Structured activity periods offer opportunities to work with mediums like wood, stained glass, and clay, while free time in the afternoon gives the campers a chance to develop their skills on their own.

During this time it is never a surprise to see a kid run out of hammock-ville with a bowl made of leaves or a group of campers laying in the grass covered in mud. Outside of activity periods and free time, kids surprise us every day with creative new names for their hiking groups, elaborate games they create with their friends during cabin time and flash mob dances in the dining hall. Not a day goes by without any creative surprises.

Green River Preserve

Green River Preserve is a non-competitive, coed summer camp connecting children with 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 their fellow man. Designed for bright, curious, and creative children, our program nurtures character development and fosters skills like perseverance, curiosity, communication, optimism, creativity, and GRIT.
