Who We Are
Flows out of what we believe
Greystone is dedicated to the glory of God — it defines the purpose, motive, and method of our entire summer.
Greystone’s Mission
To delight and inspire for the Glory of God.
In our Morning Assembly devotions, Bible classes, and nightly devotions with a cabin counselor, campers learn that their worth is secured in Scripture. They are loved, accepted, cherished, beautiful, and delighted in, because they are God’s precious daughters in whom He is well pleased. Everything we do stems from this knowledge – we love because He first loved us.
Each morning after breakfast we look forward to Breakfast Club. In this beloved camp tradition, Jimboy takes a few minutes at the beginning of the day to encourage campers to grow in each aspect of our 4-fold philosophy, based on Luke 2:52:
- Spiritual: We are made in God’s image to have a personal relationship with Him. We encourage girls to take ownership of their faith by reading the Bible, praying, and asking questions for themselves.
- Physical: In a culture that puts so much importance on physical appearance, we focus on loving the bodies that we have been given, recognizing that the God who knit us together in the womb does not make mistakes. To this end, we encourage girls to take care of their bodies with good food and exercise.
- Mental: We encourage girls to adopt the “Great Day” attitude, where they choose to embrace each day as a gift from God, seeing it as an opportunity to be thankful for what we have been given.
- Social: The secret of Greystone is unselfishness. We learn how to focus on others instead of ourselves, to set aside our own desires to better love and encourage those around us. True joy springs from an unselfish spirit.
Honor Code
With our Honor Code, we talk about what we believe and how to live that out in the day-to-day life at camp and at home. This Code is woven into all parts of camp life. We talk about the different aspects of the Code, looking at how to live it out in age-specific ways. While no one will be able to live it out perfectly, the Honor Code gives us a standard to strive for as we all grow and show grace to each other.
“I commit to showing kindness, seeing the good, and taking ownership of what I do. This is how I will have fun, make friends, and glorify God both in this place and in the world.”
We want our Greystone community to be one of positivity and support where girls gain confidence and feel safe. This Honor Code gives girls the tools to positively engage with each other in their day-to-day interactions at Greystone.
