Camp is an exciting and immersive experience for children, offering them the chance to explore nature, build friendships, and develop independence. To ensure campers have a smooth, enjoyable experience, practicing structured morning and nighttime routines are essential. These routines help set a positive tone for the day and provide a calming transition to bedtime. Here’s some ideas on how to create effective routines that foster fun, organization, and well-being at camp.

In this episode of Hey Camp Greenville!, we’re exploring the Prepare and Conquer Camp (PACC) program with special guest Stacie Simpson, Camp Greenville’s Director of Business and Communications. Designed to help campers build confidence, PACC provides exciting challenges or “quests” that prepare participants for camp life. Stacie gives us an inside look at how the program equips campers with the skills they need to thrive, from teamwork and problem-solving to embracing new adventures with confidence.

We also discuss the unique aspects of PACC that set it apart from other camp programs. Stacie shares some of the fun and educational quests that campers take on. Whether it’s helping first-time campers feel at ease or encouraging returning campers to take on new challenges, PACC is making a lasting impact on the Camp Greenville community.

If you’re a parent or camper interested in joining the PACC program, Stacie walks us through how to get involved and what to expect. From registration details to tips for preparing, this episode is packed with useful insights for anyone looking to enhance their camp experience. Tune in now!

Welcome back to the Hey Camp Greenville Podcast! In this episode, we’re diving into an exciting and innovative topic: how we use AI at camp! Technology might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about camp, but artificial intelligence is helping us create an even better experience for our campers, staff, and families.

We’re joined by Cory Harrison, Vice President of Overnight Camping, to explore how AI is being used behind the scenes to streamline operations, improve communication, and maximize the time spent on what truly matters—building connection, confidence, and character.

Cory will share specific examples of how AI aligns with our mission and values, ensuring camp remains a place of growth, belonging, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re curious about the role of technology in camp life or simply want a deeper look at what makes Camp Greenville so special, this episode has something for everyone.
