★★★★★Reid GeorgeAn incredible place for young men to grow into confident and friendly leaders. I am a former camper, and counselor and cannot wait to send my two boys to Camp Greenbrier. Enroll your boys today!
★★★★★Gregory M. Peters, MDThis place is really special. The grounds are immaculate. The owners and staff are some of the best kinds of people you could ever hope to have interact with your kids. These are the sorts of people I want my people to become.
★★★★★Michael DevineCamp Greenbrier is spectacular. Since 1898 (yes 1898 - not a typo) it has provided an incredible experience for young boys to build strong character & lifelong friendships. After the boys Camp sessions, they offer two weeks of family Camp, and I just enjoyed my 25th year of this. My wife & kids love it, and our 4 year old grandson will join us in 2022. I suspect it will be hard for him to go home to Va Beach at the end. Words cannot express what my heart knows about Camp Greenbrier. ❤️
★★★★★Jennifer ReedMy son went last year and just left this moring to go again this year. He absoulty loved it. He met so many people and always talked about his counsler Mr. Reese. Joshua just himself last year while in camp. Broke his toe and also had to have stitches the team at Camp went above and beyond to care for Josh. I had never felt any better. They took care of him 100%. Didn't miss a beat. Thank you all so much. Hope he has a great three weeks
★★★★★Dobson HelgramiteOur boys have grown and matured immensely during their summers at Camp. The family session in August ... House Party ... is classic Americana, good friends sharing good times and creating countless memories. Planning for next year commences minutes after pulling out through the gate. Go once, and you will go forever.
