CARTER’S COMMENTS
Carter’s Comments
The path forward is always unknown and full of mystery and opportunity. Knowing where
the path is taking you requires some understanding of where the path has been. Greenacres’
path began officially in 1988 when the Foundation was formed, but the idea of Greenacres
was born in 1974 in the dreams of Louis Nippert. The initial dream was to develop a place
where children could come to learn about agriculture and the environment. Between 1974
and 1988 the idea grew and garnered the support of Mrs. Nippert and others. The result was
that in 1988 Greenacres was born to provide a place for school aged children to learn about
the environment, sustainable agriculture, and the classical arts. Each of these topics should
cross everyone’s path so that we are grounded in our natural surroundings, we understand
that we borrow the earth from our grandchildren, and we celebrate the talents of our friends.
Today, Greenacres continues to grow and that growth is reflected in the breadth of Summer
Camp Opportunities. Twenty five years ago Summer Camp was limited to environment
offerings. We are proud to have this year’s summer campers choose from Environment
Themes (Earth Explorers), Garden Themes (Garden Adventures), Equine Themes (Boots
and Bridles), Arts Themes (Artstars) and Water Quality Themes (Make a Splash). This breadth
creates something for everyone and reflects the breadth of Greenacres.
The growth in program topics has not changed Greenacres’ commitment to QUALITY
QUALITY QUALITY. Each and every camp has been designed to complement fall to spring
classroom learning with summer activities that are pure edutainment. Rest assured that any
camper at Greenacres will have a great time and come home with stories to share around the
dining room table. Happy Camping!
