The freedom to choose a new book to keep every day for a week, catching your first fish, swimming and canoeing on the lake, picking tomatoes and squash that will become part of your dinner, reading a great book with a crowd of new friends and having the story come to life through activities inspired by the book’s action, arts and crafts, cooking a meal featured in the book. This is a list of some of what makes Camp AIR a fun filled week for the children who come and the adults and young people who work with them.

For the sixth year, families from the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, and National Guard who are unable to go home for the holidays will come together to Gravatt to enjoy delicious, homemade meals, making gingerbread houses, the high and low ropes course, zip line, canoeing, fishing, evening activities, a visit from Santa, and more.

Gravatt internships are designed to introduce young adults to a nonprofit camp and conference center work environment, providing the opportunity to decide if this type of work is a possible career path. Interns at Gravatt also acquire valuable supplementary skills during their service period and make contact with potential future employers within and outside of camp and conference ministry. The Gravatt internship is a perfect opportunity for high school graduates, new college graduates, and college students taking a year off to determine their vocational path.

Gravatt has two news interns this fall, and we're excited to introduce them to you...

Cabins are swept, tents flaps are tied, hugs are exchanged, and some tears slip. Cars depart one by one, and each takes a different exit off the interstate back into what we call real life. It seems like just yesterday...

At the end of summer, Scott McNeely, announced that we will welcome Frank Townsend as the new summer camp director this fall.

Thank you for making Camp Gravatt a safe place for young people. You have done amazing things this summer. Because of you, over 900 children had some of the best times of their lives.

Welcome to Adventure Discovery! (Better known as A.D.) This year’s A.D. program is run by the one and only, Winston Collins, who serves as our ropes director, goat fanatic, and friend. I was able to sit down with Winston after one of his long days managing our Challenge Course to get his input on what this program is about.

Meet Scott McNeeley, a Clemson alumni and three time champion of the Gravatt Fantasy Football League. Scott is a very busy man, but fortunately he was able to sit down with one of camp’s summer interns, Claire Walters, to answer some questions about camp.

There are so many fun activities that we get to do at Camp Gravatt. Some of my favorites are Polar Bear, archery, and high ropes, but by far my favorite thing at camp is mealtime. 

If there is one word to sum up how Gravatt positively impacts children, it is “home.”

Because of Gravatt, I’ve mastered the artistries of friendship bracelets and paint pens. I’ve befriended baby goats and caught a chicken.
