Scheduling
Campers love taking classes at camp! With over 70 different activities offered, every camper can find her niche at Greystone.
Junior Camp
How it works
Junior campers jump right into classes on Sunday, so they can learn as much as possible in each of their activities. At the Junior session, campers will take 5 different classes every day for their week-long session.
Scheduling your classes
Our Junior campers sample the very best classes we have to offer at camp, attending classes with their cabin group. Girls feel confident going to classes with their friends and love “sampling” every class offered at our Junior session. Because the campers try every class in camp, girls do not need to pre-schedule any classes. You can view a list of classes that will be offered at Junior this upcoming summer.
June, Main, and August Camps
Daily Schedule
Campers at our June session will take a total of 14 classes, rotating between a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule of 7 classes and a Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule of 7 classes. Girls at our Main session take a total of 12 classes, with an additional Club period each afternoon, rotating between a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule of 6 classes and a Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule of 6 classes. August campers will take the same 7 classes everyday. You can see a copy of our daily schedule on our Explore page.
Club period (Main only): At Main Camp, our final 7th period class each day is our Club period. During this period, girls can try a more specialized activity that is offered or enjoy a free period.
Scheduling your classes
June, Main, and August campers will schedule their classes on Opening Day in the afternoon with their counselor(s). Your daughter’s cabin counselor will help to make her schedule, ensuring she has the perfect mix of activities that she would like to take.
Some of our classes are only offered at longer sessions, and some are limited by grade-range (see details below). Make sure to check out our detailed list of activities offered this summer; your daughter can use this list to get an idea of what she would like to take before she even arrives. She can even bring a short list of classes she is interested in taking with her on Opening Day so that she remembers what she wants to take.
We want your daughter to have the very best schedule and to enjoy all of her classes! Over the course of the first few days of camp, if your daughter does not enjoy one of her classes, she is more than welcome to switch into a different class. We explain how to do this several times to all of our campers.
Mid-session switch (Main only): At Main Camp, girls have the opportunity to switch some of their classes halfway through the session; it is not mandatory. Classes that can be switched are activities such as Landsports, Eno Summer Reading, etc. Classes that cannot be switched are specialized activities that build on skills like art classes, performance classes, etc.
