Welcome Message
Will, Camp Director since 1997
When folks ask me how long I’ve been here, I often respond by asking them whether the summer I spent in my mom’s belly counts. If so, it’s been 61 years! I’ve been a camper, a counselor, and the Camp Director since 1997. In all, my family has run Greenbrier for 78 years! As you can imagine, I have Camp Greenbrier in my bones. Camp Greenbrier is truly a special place – a place where boys can relax, enjoy the great outdoors, and learn to live unselfishly with others, not to mention participating in a whole slew of fantastic activities.
