Camp Greystone

Camp Greystone is a Christian summer camp for girls located near Tuxedo, North Carolina in the mountains of western North Carolina. The camp offers sessions ranging in length from 1 week to 5 weeks for girls ages 5–17. Sessions begin in late May and continue through mid-August.

Greystone was founded in 1920 by Dr. Joseph R. Sevier and his wife Edith. Before founding the camp, Dr. Sevier was the minister at First Presbyterian Church in Augusta, GA. The camp originally started on Greystone Mountain in Tennessee in 1920, however, after exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains, Dr. Sevier found a permanent location for the camp in Tuxedo, NC. When Dr. Sevier died in 1945, he passed the camp leadership on to his daughter, Virginia, and her husband, Joe Hanna. The Hannas led the camp through the 50's and 60's. The camp was then passed on to the Hanna's daughter Libby Hanna Miller and her husband Jim Miller III. Libby still serves as senior director at the camp today. Jim died January 29, 2010. Their son, Jim Miller IV, and his wife, Dr. Margaret Broadbent Miller, currently own and run the camp. Jim received his Master of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC. Dr. Margaret Miller serves as the camp's Health Director and is a board certified pediatrician.

Camp Greystone serves over 1850 campers each summer. Campers live with 8 - 12 other girls in cabins with one or two counselors. Greystone is structured around a fourfold philosophy of nurturing the spiritual, physical, mental, and social development of young girls. Camp Greystone has a 98% return rate each summer.

During the one-week Junior camp session, campers travel with their counselor to a number of different activities. During the three-week June camp session and five-week Main camp session, campers choose 14 activities to take during the summer. Two-week August camp campers register for 7 activities.
