Green River Preserve: Connecting Children with Nature

Green River Preserve is a unique summer camp that offers children an opportunity to connect with nature in a way that few other camps can match. Located in the heart of Western North Carolina, Green River Preserve provides an immersive experience that allows children to explore the natural world around them and develop a deep appreciation for the environment.

At Green River Preserve, we believe that nature is the best teacher. Our programs are designed to help children learn about ecology, conservation, and sustainability through hands-on activities and outdoor adventures. From hiking through forests and meadows to swimming in crystal-clear streams, our campers have the chance to experience all that nature has to offer.

Our staff members are passionate about environmental education and have extensive training in outdoor leadership. They work closely with campers to create a safe and supportive community where everyone feels welcome and valued. We believe that every child has something unique to contribute, whether it's their knowledge of plants or their enthusiasm for exploring new trails.

One of the things that sets Green River Preserve apart from other camps is our commitment to sustainability. We practice what we preach by using renewable energy sources like solar power, composting food waste, and reducing our overall carbon footprint. We also teach our campers about sustainable living practices so they can take these lessons home with them after camp ends.

Our facilities are designed with sustainability in mind as well. Our cabins are made from locally sourced materials like wood and stone, which blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. We also have a state-of-the-art dining hall where we serve healthy meals made from fresh ingredients grown on-site or sourced from local farmers.

But it's not just our commitment to sustainability that makes Green River Preserve special – it's also our incredible location. Nestled in 3,400 acres of pristine wilderness at an elevation of 3,200 feet above sea level, our camp offers breathtaking views of mountainsides covered in lush greenery as far as the eye can see.

We offer a wide range of activities for campers aged 7-17 including hiking trips through Pisgah National Forest; rock climbing on nearby cliffs; canoeing down rivers; learning survival skills such as fire building or shelter construction; participating in arts & crafts projects inspired by nature; stargazing under clear skies at night time - there’s something for everyone!
