We are thrilled to introduce you to a former camper of Green Grove Camp who will be a Counselor this summer for youth camp. Thank you, Denis Kurtseba for being a part of our family… we look forward to your guitar playing around the campfire this year!!!

Well, we remember this guy from his camp days… he was the one who was always cold! We are thrilled that even with so many kilometers between us you are joining us this year and we welcome you back to our Green Grove Camp family John Salywon. Not even the cold weather (to him) can keep him away from the memories and friendships he made at camp! John is pretty active so don’t be surprised if he gets you out on the field to play some sports and fun games. We challenge anyone to have a contest with John on who can eat the most Brussel Sprouts this summer!

We are excited to have a teen camper from Green Grove Teen Camp joining us as a volunteer counselor, welcome to Emil Karaiev! We are sure the kids are going to have fun with Emil – especially at swim time, one of his favorite things from teen camp! Emil is sporting the bunnyhug received at teen camp which shows his pride in being a part of our Green Grove family, and we are thrilled to have him with us! He is familiar with the grounds… so be careful when you think you are safe sneaking out, he will know where to find you!
