CAMP GREENBRIER FOR BOYS INCORPORATED

What CAMP GREENBRIER FOR BOYS INCORPORATED does

Camp Greenbrier for Boys Incorporated operates a traditional overnight summer camp on approximately 35 acres along the Greenbrier River in the Allegheny Mountains near Alderson, West Virginia. Founded in 1898 by Dr. Walter Hullihen and Horace Whitman, it is the oldest privately owned summer camp in continuous operation in the United States. The company is family-owned across three generations, with Will Harvie serving as Director since 1997 and his wife Lenka Harvie joining full-time in 2004. The corporate mailing address is in Exmore, Virginia (winter office), while the summer operating address is in Alderson, West Virginia.

The business runs three distinct programs: the Boys Camp (ages 7-15), the Leadership Academy (ages 16-17), and the House Party family camp open to all ages after the regular season. Activities span archery, baseball, basketball, canoeing, crafts, golf, kayaking, lacrosse, rifle, rock climbing, snorkeling, soccer, swimming, tennis, track, woodcraft, and wrestling, with a stated counselor-to-camper ratio of approximately 1:3 and 130 campers per session. The camp enforces a no-electronics policy and does not offer any proprietary technology products; the only meaningful third-party integrations are Stripe for payment processing and Adobe Reader for downloadable forms.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-session tuition ($4,650 per three-week term or $8,200 for the full six-week season in 2026), with secondary streams from a 10% early sign-up discount (offered through December 1), a 5% sibling/age discount, House Party per-night family fees, transportation services ($135 Dulles airport pickup), and a camp store with mandatory minimum account balances. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via a WordPress-based website, with word-of-mouth and alumni referrals as the primary acquisition channels. The company has no external investors, no funding rounds, and operates as a closely held family business.
