Fly across the pond on 500 feet of Zip Line. This exhilarating activity is a favorite of many guests. All necessary equipment is provided and experienced operators are required for this activity. The weight limit for the Zip Line is 200 pounds.
Centered in the middle of the main meadow is the fire pit. Guests gather here to roast marshmallows and share the Gospel and testimonials. Stools surround the fire for seating but feel free to bring a blanket to stretch out and stay a while to warm your soul.
The General Store offers a variety of items for purchase from GCR memorabilia, refreshments, sundries, and reading material. 100% of the proceeds from the General Store go to support the mission of Greenbrier Christian Retreat.
Enjoy an old-fashioned hayride on our wagon pulled by our modern tractor horses. The wagon seats up to 25 people and is a fun way to take in the beauty of GCR as well as to go to and from Little Clear Creek and the other water activities. A licensed and experienced driver is required for tractor operation. Please be aware and cautious of wildlife and bees during all outdoor activities.
We also have a regulation-size basketball court on the property. Hoops are adjustable so that all ages and abilities can step up to the free throw line and bank a shot! Basketballs are provided, along with bleacher seating for the fans.
Our regulation-size sand volleyball court will make you feel like we brought the beach to the valley. Serve up a regulation-size ball or blow up our gigantic one for extra fun!
Challenge your body and soul as you hike to the top of Calvary Mountain and Rock of Ages. At the top of Calvary Mountain, we have erected 3 crosses in remembrance of The Crucifixion. This is an awesome location, overlooking the Retreat, to reflect on Christ’s Ultimate Sacrifice and rejuvenate your faith. Rock of Ages will also inspire you as you make your way past several boulders to its tree-canopied summit. Several other trails wind thru our property and we encourage you to take advantage of them all.
Little Clear Creek, or The Lazy River as we call it, runs the west side of the property and is where you will find that most people want to be on hot summer days. We provide lifejackets and inner tubes for floating down the creek or enjoying the swimming hole at the top. For more important agendas, the swimming hole lends itself to baptisms which are by no other description, AWESOME!
Bring your fishing pole to enjoy early morning, before the activities of the day begin, or wind down in the evening, casting a line from the banks of one of our 3 fishing ponds. Expect to catch something but take the memories and leave the fish - they like it here at camp!
The Water Slide is perfect for warm weather FUN! Guests can climb to the top and slide down to the pool below and usually head right back for another go. Life jackets and slide mats are provided. The Water Slide is available from May through September, weather permitting.
