Camp Greystone reviews

This camp is terrible! I sent my daughter here for her first time. Only 8 years old. Oh gosh she was so excited because her friend Ashley spades was going...when she got there her conceler was talking to her boyfriend. In there bunk there were about 70 girls in there. There was this one girl who seemed old so we said hi the is Claire Stevens and the girl said what are you doing...claire asked her what her name was and she did not even answers....worst camp ever!

my god sister goes and says that it is exceptional!!

i love camp greystone!! everything about it is PERFECT! its a 93 year old camp but the facilities are improved every year so it looks brand new! everyone on the staff is SO nice. they are very careful with choosing their staff (go look at the application on the website!) so if i was a mom i would have no problem handing off my children to these staff members for 2-5 weeks. there are so many activities so you are sure to find something you will like! my favorites are riflery and greystone groove. everyone there is super friendly and its sooo much fun! i'm obsessed with greystone! next year it will be my 8th year i think and i finally get to go to main camp!!! i do think that older girls going for the first time might not have as much fun as girls who have been going for a long time, so start going when you are younger!! i feel so close to God at camp its amazing! camp greystone is awesome!

I have gone to camp for 4 years! It is the best thing that happens to me all year. I keep in touch with my friends all year and they better friends to me then the friends I have back home. It is the best camp on earth!

This is the best camp ever! I went for the first time last year and had the most fun I've ever had in my life! The food is great and the activites are awsome!

My daughter is 9 attended Greystone's main camp this summer. 2009. It was her first summer at any camp. 4 weeks away from home. She had a great time. She came home with a different and more mature personality. She had a tough time at the beginning of camp and then as camp continued she made more friends and enjoyed herself. I believe like anything in life you make your own path. If you are going to have fun you will have a positive attitude and find that fun with the people that make you happy. My daughter did not get along with a few cabin mates and felt that they were alittle bit bullyish but she found friends that she clicked with and had fun with it. Greystone was a good place to make her summer positive. She talks about and is looking forward to going back to Greystone in 2010.

My daughters attended Greystone for 4 years. When they were very young, it was good. Facilities & breadth of activities are good. However, one of our daughters was BADLY bullied by other girls & the staff at Greystone did nothing to protect her. They missed the signs, her counselor swept it under the rug. When we approached the owners afterwards with constructive feedback about adding more training about bullying, they were polite but cool. Our daughter begged to go back since she had previously loved camp so we let her, but it quickly became obvious she was persona non grata by the staff (not kids). It made us sick to see this allegedly Christian camp treat the victim this way, particularly when the child was being so forgiving about the trauam. Greystone is great until, God forbid, you need them to work to earn their fees, at which point they'd rather just go to the next child on the waiting list. The stakes are just too high - this camp cannot be trusted with your child's safety.

I was a camper for five years at Greystone. I have not been back in 7 years and I miss it like crazy! Some of the greatest summers of my life. To say Greystone is amazing is an understatement and doesn't begin to cover it! And that's just how I feel about it from going to June Camp! I have heard nothing but rave reviews of Main Camp from my lucky friend who got to go to it, who says Main is several times better than June. In response to ratings that say its hard to make friends at Greystone: I am shy and quiet, yet I had little to no trouble making a few friends each summer. Greystone will always be a second home to me.

This camp is the is my heaven on earth. I have gone to the five week session for five years now. My truest best friends are there. The counselors are caring, the food is the best food that i have ever had (thanks to a wonderful kitchen staff), the directors are amazing, and the camp is breath takingly beautiful. There are hundreds of activities to do. My favorites are synchronized swimming, hula dancing, tennis, Bible, glass beads, and wall. Every night there is an evening program, such as lip syncs, plays, talent shows, senior hunt, movie night, decade dance, Rockmont dance, vespers, team fires, and carnival. The camp even has a Derby Day, where the campers dress in their sun dresses and big hats and eat sophisticated food and watch the horse show. Everyone knows how to have fun at Greystone. It is fantastic.

My daughter spent 2 summers at Greystone and did not like it. The girls were quite clicky, most of them attended for years and it was difficult for her to break in. It was more of a country club atmosphere and a continuation of a sorority, too many "designer" outfits & luggage.

Camp Greystone was the most amazing experince of my life and is like a haven to me. There, you are not judged by your looks or clothes or how popular you are. I mad the best friends who I will never forget and are more reliable and fun than my friends back home at school. Plus, being apart for so long only makes the friendships even stronger. Greystone strengthened my love for the Lord God 310%. The counselors are amazing and fun and I loved them! There is SO MUCH to do and it is just sooo awesome!! I can not wait until next summer!!! Greystone is truely an experience you will not forget!!!

This is the best camp that I could ever imagine. It is my home and there is no place I would rather be. The friends you make are your best friends who are there for you all the time. There really aren't words to describe how great this camp is. Next year will be my tenth year and I am already counting down the days until I get to go back.

Greystone is like a dream come true. Like everything, there are ups and downs. The ups completly outweigh the downs. It is fenominal. I cannot even begin to describe it. I miss all of my friends terribly. Greystone is like a second home to me.

I have spent 6 summers at Greystone, and they were the best summers of my life.I have so many friends there, and year after year I go back and see them again after keeping in touch all year long.One of my Councelors is my role model and hero and I will always keep in touch with her.Here at camp, I have learned to have a great day every day of my life.There are always those few people that you always meet at camp that you just have to deal with and learn to be a friend to those who are being mean to you.That is just the camp experience.At camp I have enjoyed countless Ultimate Frisbee games in the rain,Sunday afternoons throwing a softball by the lake,and morning assemblies where God just seems so present and loving.At camp I have learned to try new things and I have gained so much self confidence.I don't wear makeup or nice clothes while I'm here, except Sunday.It's nice to get away from the real world telling us to do that.Greystone is a place to find yourself.I love Greystone!!!!

I have 2 girls who have both attended Greystone for 10 years. It has been a wonderful experience for them both and they have had the opportunity to meet friends from all over the United States. These friendships have lasted several years now and they look forward to seeing these girls every summer when they return to camp. It has even influenced my daughters college selection and her roommate. Not only do they remain in contact with their friends but their counselors as well. I think camp is only as enjoyable as you make it for yourself. The setting and activities at this camp are constantly being improved based on feedback and the surroundings are spectacular. Even the food is wonderful. I cannot imagine a place better suited for an enjoyable summer and my girls cannot wait to return as staff.

Our older 2 daughters went to Greystone and loved it and now our youngest is there. What a sweet camp. The number of choices the girls have for their activities is amazing and each one is so well done. If you go to visit you will not see more happy, smiling, laughing girls. The cabins for the most part are not air conditioned as was stated previously and each girl has the chance to find activities to express who they are. Some are outdoorsy, some are not. Some are athletic, some are not. It does not matter. There is something for everyone and especially wonderful memories and great fun!

Camp Greystone is the best place in the world- really! Yes, it's a very nice place, but "too prim and proper"...? Believe me, with ultimate frisbee in the rainy mud, hikes through the dense vegetation of the Blue Ridge Mountains, clay fights in ceramics, and overnights with your cabin in the woods, Greystone is not a brat-infested country club! As previously established, the food is the most amazing thing EVER, and your cabinmates and counselors become like sisters. Each summer is magical and unique and you have to experience it to understand. I love Greystone!!

GREYSTONE IS THE BEST! it is like heaven on earth. this is my 4th year going. yes it is religious, but not very religious. the scenery is amazing and so is the food. i mean the food is the best food you will find at any camp in america.the bathrooms got SOOOOO wet from the showers, but you just have to deal with that. i mean there are no words to describe how good this camp is. its just fantazmigoricle!!! this is the most amazing thing my parents have ever done for me. and the friends that i made 4 years ago, i still keep in touch with. shout out to you Margerette Anne!!!! luv ya!

Best camp ever!Ive been to camp Gstone for 3 years now and those were the best summers of my life!The activities are sooo much fun and the girls there are really nice.While I was there I accepted God in my life!It was a great summer. This year im going for 5 weeks!

Every summer since the age of seven I have attened Camp Greystone. This was the best decision my mother has ever made for me. During the five weeks that I lived at Greytone I made life long friendships, strengthened my relationship with god, and had a ton of fun. The councelors are wonderful, even though every once in a while you may get one that doesn't seem to caring, but you will get that at every camp. This place is my second home, and you all should really consider going. I promise you won't ever regret going!!!

this is the best camp ever I love it the counselors are awesome ditto for everything else it is the best camp in the world and the others tht said tht it has too many rules are so untrue but i would say if u are going 2 send your daughter 2 camp send her HERE!!!

Camp Greystone is wonderful! It is the best camp that our girls have been to. The staff is superb and the activities are excellent. They have done an excellent job of making the camp beautiful and adding on and re-modeling. I give them a 10+!

I went to Greystone a few times and hated it. The girls there were cliquey and mean, and the so-called "caring counselors" never did a thing about it. No doubt is it a beautiful place, but you definently don't get the same camp experience. WAY to prim and proper. I would NOT recommend this camp simply because of the spoiled brats there. It was not an enjoyable experience!

OMG I went to Greystone for the first time last year and it was AMAZING!!! I do agree with others, it is very counry club like, not so much a get down and dirty type... but the cabins are air conditioned which had a MAJOR influence on my time there! (The last camp I went to there was no A.C... trust me, it wasnt fun!!!)It also was a bit pricey but overall, LOADS of fun!!!

After going to Greystone for over 6 years now I know tghat this is the best camp out there. I've gpne to other camps before but none like Greystone. the girls you meet at camp you will never forget and will be your friends for the rest of your life. There is always something to do and the food is to die for, its homecooked and something that you wouldnt find at a camp. People who give it horrible ratings with hardly any examples to back it up have obviously never been there. Greystone gives you the true "camp expeirence" After Greystone I can't imagine myself anywhere else. The counselors pay attention to the girls and listen to whatever they have to say. I recomend this camp to anyone interested and I truly adore it. I can not wait to go back for the '08 year! Greystone is the best camp there is, and i LOVE IT!

this camp is terrible and i regret sending my daughter because she got no personal attention and the girls were very cliquey. all of these girls have gone for many years and i guess made their own friends. she hated it and has traumatized her experience at summer camp forever. the food is good though thats all the good i heard. which is unfortunate.

I attended Greystone as a camper for eleven summers and was a counselor for three years. This place is my home away from home. I made some of my best friends at greystone and we still keep in touch today. The activities cover a vast variety of things such as archery, a first class horseback riding facility, fine arts including glass bead making, all kinds of sports, dance, fitness, swimming, sailing, golf...basically you name it and they have it. The great thing is that if there is something they don't have, the directors will actually listen and take your suggestions into account. Greystone teaches you to be a well-rounded, godly, unselfish lady. They really value and praise inner beauty, which is a wonderful break from the real world that girls face in every day life. The five week session is by far the best! The older girls really set the tone that session. They obviously love camp or they wouldn't be there as juniors and seniors in high school. Sign your daughters up today!

I have spent many summers at Camp Greystone. It really truly is a great camp. It is tons of fun and there is always something to do. They have good religious morals. The counselors are always there to help out and are tons of fun. This camp is truly the best and i reccomend it to anyone interested.

It is a great camp for girls!My daughter goes every year!The counselors are sweet.plus my daughter says that Greystone is much better than Crestridge!

Wide variety of activities staffed by qualified staff. Food is all homemade (even the bread) and is rated highly by all the girls. My daughter did have one experience out of 5 sessions where the counselors did not provide good attention. Was an isolated example however. Traditions of this camp are old and meaningful to the girls. Facilities are fantastic. Owners are sincere and the family has had the camp for several generations. I do wish that they had more 2 week sessions, as the options for the older girls are either 3 or 5 week sessions. The camp attracts girls from all over the country, and a few from outside the US. They make an effort to pair up girls who have been together in the same cabins over several years (upon request) and this adds to the experience.

Best camp ever! M'kay, thanks. Very pretty with gorgeous facilities. I take my horse and it's SO much fun!

Highest quality facility and highest character people you will ever encounter in a summer camp. Our family has a great deal of camp history (boys and girls) and this is hands down the best there is. You will meet "Greystone Girls" throughout the rest of your life and it will be a bond you share forever. My college age daughter, long distance in college now, is running into people she met 8 - 10 years ago at Greystone! Get on the wait list a year in advance and even then, you are not sure of a spot, but once you are in, you have a spot forever!

yea, its the country club camp. This isnt like going to camp. The facilities are good but its just not a real "camp experience. Everyone is was to fake boring and proper.

I went to Greystone about 20 years ago and absolutely loved it! My sister went to and loved it; she and I talk about it constantly to this day. I have had the pleasure of visiting Greystone during the summer several times over the last few years, and if there was any child there not having the time of her life, I sure didn't see it. Smiles everywhere you look, beautiful singing coming from the Pavilion, squeals of glee coming from the water park. It is hard to imagine that anyone could go to Greystone and NOT have fun!! The facilities at Greystone are amazing... the riding facilities and the new arts building have to be as good as any camp in the nation. The activities at Greystone are impeccably supervised -- something you often don't see at other camps. I have visited many other camps over the years, in many different states, and Greystone is one of the best. If you choose to send your daughter(s), you won't regret it.
