Are you a Greystone alumna or a Greystone parent who would like to be more involved at camp? We have the very BEST opportunity for you!
We are looking for some die-hard Greystone fans to help us pull off our Opening and Closing Days again this summer. We have been lucky to have so many parents and alums join us for the past few years, and we’d love to have another energetic crowd for summer 2025! We are looking for help during our June, Main, and August sessions, and you can see all of our Opening and Closing dates on our website.
Working Opening or Closing Day is a great way to feel the excitement and energy of the Greystone experience – it is just plain fun! We have a good mix of camp alumnae, skip year campers, and Greystone parents (many who will drop off their daughters and then stay to work!). You can come alone or bring a friend (ask someone to come with you this year!).
During the morning you’ll be working, we will assign you to a specific position for the day, such as greeting cars as they arrive, waving to families as they pull in the gates, walking campers to our check-in area, or directing parents to the cabin area on Closing Day. We are looking for energetic alumnae who can be on their feet for 3-4 hours and who understand that they could be working in the sun or rain. And, most important, we want alums who can smile and stay upbeat for the entire morning, making our families feel so welcome at camp.
This is a volunteer position, but never fear - you’ll get a Greystone t-shirt out of it! We don’t have housing at camp, but many alums drive in the morning they are working or stay with friends near camp (check out some local places to stay to make a vacation or camp reunion out of it!). And, as a perk of volunteering, you are also welcome to walk around camp during the weekend between sessions (we’ll be in touch about some good times to visit during that weekend); you can sit in the white chairs by the lake, walk on the River Trail, or even enjoy a game of Pickleball! It’s a fun time to relive some of your camp glory days, or as a parent, experience the Greystone magic for the first time.
If you are interested, even if you don’t know your dates, go ahead and fill out our interest form for the summer. We will reach out about a month prior to the day you’ve signed up to work to find out if you can still make it.
