Solar Spotlight: YMCA Camp Weaver

YMCA Camp Weaver in Greensboro, NC is shining a little brighter thanks to solar! In 2025, Southern Energy Management installed a 11.64 kW system made up of 24 solar panels to help the camp power its facilities with clean, renewable energy. This solar project not only reduces electricity costs and carbon emissions—it also supports Camp Weaver’s commitment to environmental education and sustainability. 

At YMCA Camp Weaver, we are committed to sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint. By incorporating solar panels into our facilities, we’re able to lower energy bills, which helps us keep camp costs more affordable for families. This investment not only supports our mission of providing quality experiences at a lower cost but also reflects our dedication to preserving the beautiful outdoor environment that makes our camp so special.
