About

Camp Life

The Best Summer Camp Ever

Grier Summer is a one-of-a-kind camp experience. Nestled in the beautiful foothills of the Appalachian mountains, Grier’s campus boasts state-of-the-art dance, fine art, and equestrian facilities. Girls from all over the world come to our campus to dance, create, ride, and most importantly, forge friendships that last a lifetime.

The Best Kind of Busy

At Grier Summer, girls stay busy with fun activities throughout their day. Recreational Campers get to pick from a variety of activities to fill each of their four activity periods. 
Campers in the Intensive Program spend three of their four activity periods immersed in a single concentration but still get to fill one activity period with an activity of their choosing – A great opportunity to try something new!
After lunch, we have some leisure time built in to help campers transition into the afternoon. We find this time helpful especially for our campers in intensive programs. During leisure time, campers can decide what they need individually; options such as swimming, siesta, composing a letter home, catching up on laundry, and crafting will be available daily.
