For rising 2nd through 9th graders, Green River offers 1, 2 and 3 week co-ed programs. Morning hikes to explore the Preserve, and a wide variety of afternoon activities provide campers a care-free world of outdoor fun, creative energy and a close knit, non-competitive community. Green River Preserve enrolls only 104 campers per session and offers a camper to staff ratio of 3 to 1.

For rising 9th through 12th graders, Green River Expeditions offers 13 to 18 day “graduate programs” in leadership development and outdoor learning and adventure. Designed for both experienced and inexperienced adventurers, these programs follow the Green River tradition of combining learning with exploration. Co-ed groups of up to twelve students and three Green River staff explore the Blue Ridge Mountains or the legendary Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Green River programs provide life-enhancing experience that nurture the heart, develop mind and character and heighten appreciation of the natural world. We inspire young minds. Please take a few minutes and watch our video to better understand the unique value of the Green River experience.
