Meet our Grier Summer Director, Natalie Ondrey!
Natalie Ondrey began working at Grier as an Instructor in the English Department in 2021. She grew up attending 4-H Camp, performing at music and theater camps, and camping with her family. She started at Grier Summer in 2023, where she led music, theater, and writing workshops. Her experiences as a theatrical director, musician, artist, leader, and outdoor educator all contribute to her love of camp.
We are so excited to have Natalie as our Grier Summer Director for the second year now!

Happy Earth Day! 🌳 🌿
Taking a hands-on approach, our girls stepped outside and immersed themselves in nature!
Students went to Fort Roberdeau and were guided by Jody Wallace. The overarching goal was to remove invasive plants and replace them with native shrubs and trees that add value to the ecosystem! A whopping 470 trees were planted!
7th and 8th enjoyed the day by releasing 122 Rainbow Trout, that they raised in their Integrated Science class, in a stream at Camp Anderson. This stream feeds into the Little Juniata, which runs at the base of Grier School. The Little Juniata River Association taught the girls how to fly-fish, tie flies, and identify macro-invertebrates to determine stream quality.
A wonderful day celebrating the Earth and all things around us!🌏
