2008 - Celebrating 96 Years!

April

Last year YMCA Camp Greenville provided summer camp scholarships for 112 youth, plus over 1100 scholarships for students and individuals who participated in our September-June programs. Each March, volunteers from YMCA Camp Greenville call upon alumni and friends of Camp Greenville to secure donations and pledges towards Camp's scholarship programs. Last year's effort raised nearly $120,000 for Camp scholarships. Those interested in helping this effort should call Jeanette Watkins at 864-242-1111 ext. 36.

Our neighbors at the Rocky Hill Baptist Church will present their annual Easter Sunrise Service at "Pretty Place" on Easter morning.  Guests are encouraged to arrive early to help get everyone shuttled down to the chapel in time for the service. Due to limited parking at the chapel, vehicles are parked on the camps athletic field and guests are either shuttled down to the chapel in YMCA buses or walk. The service is followed by a buffet breakfast in the Camp Dining Hall.

An opportunity for potential summer camp staff to visit Camp Greenville and learn more about our programs. The weekend begins after dinner on Friday with a variety of games and activities designed to help the entire group get to know each other. Saturday is spent touring camp, learning about programs, interviews and a service project. A select number of returning staff are invited to help with the weekend and give potential staff to hear the "low down" from a counselors perspective. Participants may choose to leave at the end of the day on Saturday or stay for another evening of camp fun and a chapel service on Sunday. Potential counselors interested in attending should contact or Matt Hoisington at (864) 836-3291 x110/ mhoisington@ymcagreenville.org
