Since 1978, YMCA Camp Greider has provided a safe place for campers entering 1st through 8th grades to explore, learn, and grow. Creating memorable, engaging, and educational experiences for campers is our goal and we can’t imagine a better setting than 80-acres of beautiful land in the West Salem Hills.

Throughout a week at Camp Greider your camper will create lifelong memories, develop new friendships, improve their confidence, and build social-emotional skills. Our play-based, nature focused programming will introduce campers to the four core values of the Y: honesty, respect, responsibility, and caring.

Located on the Oregon 4-H Center property, Camp Greider includes:

• Large multi-purpose lodge
• Small pond for boating and pond study
• Archery range
• Open fields for games
• Miles of hiking trails
• Heated pool

Camp Greider Goals: 

• Model the YMCA mission and cause for all campers.
• Help campers increase their sense of self-worth and responsibility.
• Assist campers with increasing their social skills.
• Provide the opportunity to learn a variety of traditional camp skills.
• Expose participants to the natural world in safe and engaging environments.
• Teach campers they are part of a larger community.
• Campers will have fun!
