The Adventure Guides program is made up of parent/child pairs who are either grouped into tribes with other parents and their kids from the surrounding community or who join the Camp Greenville circle. Camp Greenville plans different activities that help build strong bonds between parent and child. Events include two campouts at YMCA Camp Greenville, a pinewood derby race, a chili cook-off, and a father-daughter semi-formal Valentine’s dance. The commitment is small: an event every month or so. The payoff is huge!

Adventure Guides and Trailblazers tribes or groups are local groups of member families who participate in additional activities together. Local tribes /groups are coordinated by leader volunteers and gather at times and locations that are convenient for most members.

If you chose to just join without a group…then Camp Greenville is your group!
