Eastside High School First Priority

Thirty students from the Eastside High School First Priority Christian Student Group held a weekend retreat at Camp Greenville on March 5-7, 2010. The weekend was an opportunity to share in fellowship and make new friends who share similar interests. Each participant had the opportunity to hike to Rainbow Falls, our 150 foot, onsite waterfall, with a Camp Greenville guide. Participants were also treated to a nice dose of spring mountain sun and spent the afternoon outside on the grass, playing ultimate frisbee and talking with each other. The retreat was planned entirely by the students themselves with only minimal assistance from adults.

Riverside High School Lacrosse Team

YMCA Camp Greenville was pleased to host fifty players and coaches from the Riverside High School Varsity and JV Lacrosse teams at Camp on Saturday, February 20th. Upon arrival, the team was split into four smaller groups and then spent the day participating in a specially planned team and character building program.  Each group tackled the high ropes course, spent two hours in a group dynamics session with a trained Camp Greenville staff person, worked in a clinic with a coach and hiked to Rainbow Falls, the 150 foot, onsite waterfall. YMCA Camp Greenville is open year-round and offers something for everyone, and all types of groups.  Sports teams work with staff to plan specific programming that fits their mission.

Congratulations!
