Hey Camp Greenville: Camp and AI

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.
