June Camper Updates
[This information applies specifically to registered summer camp participants, and was sent via email to registered families on June 1.]
Hellloooooo Camper Families!!
Things are HAPPENING at camp - all 100+ of our summer staff members arrived yesterday, and it's been an absolute blast getting to know them and letting their energy and excitement fill up our camp spaces! Now, all we need is YOU!
In case we haven't met yet... Hi! My name is Stacie, and if you're the parent/guardian of a summer camper, I'll be your summer camp BFF. I answer the emails/phone calls/texts during the summer, and I make sure you get lots of photos and updates via the Camp Greenville Live app (more on that below). Basically, it's my job to keep you in the loop and answer any questions you have.
Now that it's June 1 and summer is officially starting at Camp Greenville, here's everything you need to know/do...
To Do:
Download the Camp Greenville Live app: click here for detailed info and instructions. You'll need the invitation code: I emailed it to you on June 1. The app is how we'll communicate with you while your camper is at camp! We'll share photos and updates daily.
Subscribe to the "Hey Camp Greenville" podcast: Episode 1 of Summer 2023 is live now! And there's more to come. Get the info by clicking here.
Order your camper care package: (If you haven't done so already) Check out all the info by clicking here. The deadline to order is June 4.
[Optional] Order your camper's Camp Collage: Something new this year - we've partnered with Camp Collage to help you make custom photo collages for your camper to bring to camp to decorate their bunk area. Check it out by clicking here. Deadline to order is 10 days before your session.
To Know:
Get ready to pack your bags: Click here to download the packing list, see exactly how much storage space campers have in the cabins, and more.
How the Dining Hall works: Check out this info and video for everything you need to know about mealtimes at camp.
NEW VIDEO: Summer Camp Frequently Asked Questions - view it here. It's fun!
Get to know the summer staff: All their photos and bios are available on our website, so click here.
Bonus Fun:
Limited Edition "Crazy Creek" Camp Chairs: We placed a small order of only 75 specialty camp chairs, available for pre-order now. Once they're sold out, they're gone! Order here.
Just in Case:
If you still have any outstanding forms or payments due on your account, I'll be reaching out to you very soon to ensure we can get everything taken care of as soon as possible. This mostly applies to those that have transitioned off of a waitlist.
If you need to update any cabinmate requests, please contact me to make the change in your camper's account. You won't be able to make that change through your parent portal.
I'm at camp from 8am - 8pm daily. However, I'm not always in the office. Sometimes I'm around camp capturing photos or connecting with the staff on various questions. Thanks in advance for your patience in leaving me a voicemail or awaiting an email response, now that we're in the busy summer season.
That's all for now!
I'll definitely be in touch in the days leading up to your camper's session, but feel free to reach out to me anytime with any questions. I'm here for you!
