Come See the Place Your Kids Talk About All Summer.

One Saturday, doors open. The whole property is yours to explore. Tour the cabins, walk the trails, meet the staff, and see what makes Gretna Glen the place families come back to year after year. Whether you are scouting summer camp for your kids, planning a retreat, or just curious, this is your invitation.

Classic camp games all day. Boating and fishing on the lake. A cookout lunch for everyone. Activities for every age, and the freedom to wander at your own pace. No agenda, no pressure, no tour-group herding. Just camp, on its best spring day.

No registration needed. Show up anytime between 10 AM and 3 PM. Bring the whole family and stay as long as you like.
