About Green River Preserve
The Green River Preserve is a place where the majesty of the wilderness is unspoiled...
...an environmental summer camp where bright young naturalists can discover the abundance of beauty, life and wonder that wilderness holds.
In 1988, the Green River Preserve reinvented what a summer camp could be. Every summer since, our campers have explored with new friends the Preserve’s streams, mountains and woodlands under the guidance of trained naturalists. They have participated in non-competitive yet challenging activities ranging from archery, rock-climbing, and fly-fishing, to pottery, crafts and creative writing. Most importantly, campers have found here a place where, as bright and motivated learners, they are free to be smart, curious and creative.
