Base Camp

Base Camp is our one week traditional program that offers a well-balanced schedule of activities to suit the interests of any camper. We design our program to spark Connection, inspire Confidence, and instill Character. These are the big benefits of Camp Greenville

At Base Camp, the morning is spent participating in activities that they choose in the moment each day called Truddy Time. In the afternoon they spend time in Clubs that they choose at the beginning of their week. Base campers are in cabins in grade-group based divisions.

Divisions- the grade rising IN to Fall 2026

Division 1

Rising in to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th

Division 2

Rising in to 5th and 6th

Division 3

Rising in to 7th, 8th, and 9th

Division 4

Rising in to 10th, 11th, and 12th

To be in the same cabin, campers must be in the same division not necessarily grade (ie; a 7th and 8th grader can be in a cabin together. A 6th and 7th grader can not)

A Sample Schedule

Morning Activities

Tuesday-Friday mornings are Camper Choice Time! A list of 8-12 options are given at lunch and campers decide what they want to participate in. They travel in groups of 3 or more to the different staff or LDP led activities. The group of 3+ campers is called a “Truddy”. There are staff assigned to be “land lifeguards'“ stationed around camp property to make sure kids can find activities and assist with any problems that may arise. Campers can rotate to as many or as few activities as they would like which we encourage. This helps campers learn autonomy of choice which is a great life skill.

The goals for activities are to make them interesting and fun for the camper, develop and refine skills in the activity area, and encourage campers to set goals and challenge themselves.

An example of a morning camper choice schedule is as follows including the camp store 

Please note: The activities that are available each day vary to keep it new and interesting. Division age requirements apply for some camper choice time activities.

Afternoon Activities

After rest hour, campers rotate through two clubs throughout the week. Campers sign up for their clubs based on their own interests! Clubs provide the chance cultivate friendships outside of a camper’s cabin group.

Every division will have the opportunity to take part in multiple hikes including our signature waterfalls (Rainbow Falls and Showerbath), have a free swim at the waterfront, enjoy 1-2 counselor led activities, and work together to complete the requirements for “Cabin of Excellence”. Please see the list below for additional activities that each division has schedule for 1 of the 8 afternoon time blocks.

Please note: the list above is a division schedule. It does not list the only activities that are available to a campers division.

Evening Activities

Each night there is a program for the interaction of the cabin group, the division group, or the entire camp. Some nights offer events for small group bonding with the others in a camper’s cabin. Other nights bring the entire camp together as one large family: talent shows; group games like Capture the Flag or Revenuers & Moonshiners; or fun filled campfires with songs, skits, sharing and special memories. Finally, the last part of each camper’s day is spent in the cabin just before lights out. This time is used for campers and counselors to go over the days events or discuss topics of interest. Inspirational vespers help put closure to the end of each camper’s day and adds a very special meaning to camp for everyone.
