★★★★★Jennifer Robertson-Oesterling

Grier Summer camp was my 12 year old daughter's first experience being away from home. She can be shy and somewhat introverted so we were a little worried, but she had an amazing time! The staff was attentive and immediately made her feel at home. She met new friends from all over the world. She loved the choice of activities that allowed her to explore so many creative interests. She particularly enjoyed the "all camp" get togethers in the evenings. Her Grier summer experience was more than we could have hoped for. She is very excited to go back!

This review is from a happy parent and a happy camper! As I sat down to write this, I asked my 12 year old daughter what she liked best about her Grier camp experience. She said everything--the activities, the new friends, the food, the pool, the counselors, the trips to Bald Eagle Lake and DelGrosso's amusement park, art classes, and even doing her laundry. (Laundry? I'll never figure that one out!) She made new friends from all over the world and has kept in touch with them. My daughter did not participate in the intensive programs for dance, theatre, or riding but there were plenty of other activities to choose from. I was extremely impressed with the art offerings and the camper art show on the last day. The performance by the musical theatre intensive campers was amazing. I could not believe how polished and professional the girls were after just three weeks. We are already looking forward to 2015!

I can't say enough good things about Grier Summer! My daughter was a day camper for the theater intensive session in 2014, at the end of which they put on Dear Edwina. From a production standpoint, it was absolutely amazing that in 3 short weeks the girls could be taught to dance and sing and act as well as they did -- Ginger is a truly gifted director! In addition, the remaining camp activities were kept my daughter busy and entertained, with her favorite being archery. Finally, the whole atmosphere was warm and welcoming, from the other campers, to the camp counselors, to the administrators. My daughter cannot wait to go next year -- in fact, we are planning our family vacation around camp -- and we all cannot wait to see the next production. Thanks for everything, Grier!

As a parent, I can say that your daughter will fall in love with Grier Summer! My 11 year old talks about the friends she made this year and can't wait to return again next year. There were tears when it was time to come home (a sure sign that she enjoyed herself!) As an instructor, I can say that the events and classes the teachers plan are so varied, there will definitely be something for your daughter to delve into. Teachers offer topics such as astronomy, mythology, crafting, photography, painting, and various sports just to name a few. My daughter loved all of the classes she attended (it was hard for her to choose just a few). Grier Summer Rocks!!!

My daughter has been going to Grier Summer Camp for the past 4 years and she loves it. All of the activities that she participates in are top notch. The instructors are great and the facilities are beautiful. Many of the friends that she's made have come back year after year; certainly a positive testament to the experience. Her favorite activities are the horseback riding and the acting/theatre, but all activities at the camp are equally well done. I have no reservations about recommending Grier Summer Camp to any girl that is looking for a great way to enjoy her summer vacation.
