Day of Giving Recap:
This past Monday we celebrated “day of giving” which helps us bring support and awareness to our Annual Campaign. Each year we raise funds to help ALL campers have the opportunity to experience the impact of camp. Last Monday, we hosted a fun virtual event including camp songs, prize drawings, camp stories, and more! You can see the replay here. It was an incredible day and we raised over $24,000! If you would like to donate to this year's campaign (we still have a big goal to meet) you can do so using THIS LINK or text ‘YCG’ to 71777 and follow the prompts. A massive thank you to all of those who have supported camp in this way!

Saturday, April 5, 2025
Join the Camp Greenville Staff and Board of Directors for a day of service, preparing the YMCA Camp Greenville property for spring and summer programs! We need volunteers! Campers welcome to attend with an adult.

Easter Sunday at Pretty Place Chapel:
Each year, we host an Easter Sunrise service at Pretty Place Chapel, which is live-streamed online to millions of people worldwide. Our lovely outdoor chapel can hold about 200 guests in person. We've already invited our Board Members and Summer Staff, and their guests, but we still have a few seats available. As a registered Camp Greenville family, you're invited! Spots will be first come, first served until we reach capacity. There is no cost, but donations will be welcome. Breakfast will be served in the dining hall following the service. Contact the camp office for details and RSVP.
