What We're Loving: Christmas Edition

The year-round crew at Greystone LOVES the holiday season! We just celebrated Christmas yesterday up at camp with our big office Christmas party. We have much to be thankful for this year, and the end of the year is always especially memorable for us, as we celebrate another wonderful year at camp. (We are also secretly glad to finally reach Christmas, as it means that we are very close to the New Year, which makes us feel like camp is just around the corner!).

As we are just days away from Christmas, enjoy reading what our staff is loving this holiday season. We’d love to know how you would answer; comment below!
