“The leaves rustle,
footsteps echo around the forest,
and the earth shakes as a hand reaches out to climb the mighty, overhanging cliff.

Feet and legs collapse onto the surface of the cliff,
gasping at the beauty of the rhododendron,
now deciding to bloom in the summer.

Ferns decorate the pathway,
opening up to…a camp.”

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.
