Greystone

July 29, 2026

Last week I picked Samantha up from 4.5 weeks at Greystone. This was her first time at Main camp and, wow, 4.5 weeks is a long time. I never really thought I’d send one of my kids away for that long but I could say with 100% certainty that it was the right decision. Greystone is a special place and Main Camp at Greystone is the specialist of the special. Samantha was more excited than nervous to go. She got homesick the appropriate amount but, as she said in one letter, I think I was more “favorite daughter sick” than she was homesick! I am so incredibly proud of this girl. I think she spread her sunshine all over camp!

Night before drop off in Greenville!

Drop off at Greystone! Off she goes to TL4 and the fun began!

Top bunk!

Greystone had a new photo policy this year and there were significantly fewer photos posted each day. I didn’t mind at the beginning because I was still getting plenty of pictures of Samantha. Then I went through a 6 day stretch with no photos at all and my “favorite daughter sickness” kicked in big time! I sure was happy to see any photo I got.

Lots more pictures of camp fun to come!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

McCallie

July 7, 2026

Spencer had another fun summer at McCallie Sports camp! Two weeks of all sports, all day. Perfect! Henry’s mom took him to camp this year because I was in NC dropping off Samantha…
