Get to know your host!
Hey Camp Greenville! My name is Alex Beavers and I am so excited to be your host for family camp! I came to YCG in January 2020. I moved to the mountains from Orlando, FL where I worked as a program coordinator at a YMCA resident summer camp for 5 years. As a kid I grew up going to the same summer camp for 4 years and that is where my love of youth programming began! It is a privilege to serve you and your family at Camp Greenville and thank you for being part of our family. If you have any questions about family camp, please contact me!
