We’ll be using WhatsApp as our communication tool at our 2024 conference. We’ll have two groups in our community, a Chat group where everybody can chat and share information, and an Announcement Group where we will post announcements about Camp for all to see. Most people use their cellphones for this.

Here’s what you need to do to join our online community.

— Click on this link to join WhatsApp

— If prompted, download the WhatsApp application and join WhatsApp with your mobile phone number and name.

– Or if you are reading this on a computer, it may be easier to use your phone and the QR code below. Again, you may need to download the application first and then join.

I will need to approve all applications to join – so your name is important so I know who you are. Use the same name as you registered with.

WhatsApp is an end-to-end encrypted message platform that uses either wifi or cell phone data. Greene Family Camp is over 100 acres, and has wifi and cell phone coverage that varies over the terrain so having both options could be helpful. Membership will be limited to only 2024 Conference registrants. Posts to the group will be seen by all members, and we hope to send out the daily schedule and any needed updates to the Announcement group. That way, for example, if the campfire is rained out (heaven forbid!), you’ll be notified. Join now and see who else is coming!

When you’re ready to use the app, here’s a helpful video. Click on this link for the video.

After the conference, feel free to share your photos and videos in the group by the end of May, 2024. We will discontinue the group after that.
