Regular camping program and regular horsemanship are available weeks 1 through 5 for girls of all ages.
Mt. Gilead Camp is a non-denominational Christian
summer camp for girls ages 6-17. There are 5 weekly sessions. Girls
may stay for any number of sessions. Mt. Gilead offers an
atmosphere of relaxed fun and fellowship and the opportunity
to experience God right in the middle of his creation without
the distractions of technology and everyday life.
Campers are grouped in Divisions according
to their completed grade. Girls spend time interacting with
their cabin group, divisional group, and the entire camp population
at different times throughout the week. Adventurers are completing grades 2 through 4. Searchers are completing
grades 5 and 6. Observers are completing grades 7 and
8 and Conquerors have completed grades 9 through 11.Mt. Gilead staff members are devoted
Christians who enjoy the outdoors, sharing God's love and
working with youth. Positions are filled through an application
process that includes screening, reference checks, background
checks, and personal testimonies. The majority of our staff
return year after year and many have completed the CILT program.
Participation in pre-camp training is required of all staff
and all are encouraged to earn certification in Red Cross
First Aid and CPR.
Staff members are anxious to share
how Mt. Gilead and its staff members have impacted their lives
throughout the years, if you have a couple minutes, ask a
staff member about it and listen to the amazing ways God is
using Mt. Gilead and the people working there.
Check in time is on Sunday afternoons
from 3:00-4:30. Express check-in is available for those who
are paid in full and have deposited pre-paid tuck money in
their account. Check out time is Saturday morning between
9:30-11:00, be sure to pick up left over tuck money and crafts
at this time. For those campers staying more than 1 week,
we offer the option of a stay over program. This program allows
campers to stay at camp over the weekend and they will be
cared for by our weekend staff. Parents are welcome to visit
during this time and can take their camper out of camp for
several hours (to eat, do laundry, etc.). Please make arrangements
with camp office ahead of time.Mt. Gilead believes in keeping their fees affordable
so many girls have the opportunity to experience Christian
camping at its best. Mt. Gilead does have a limited number
of scholarships available to those experiencing financial
difficulties. Please check the appropriate box while registering
for more information.
Mt. Gilead operates a camp store called
"The Tuck Shop". The store is open on the weekends
during check in and check out for cash purchases. The store
is open daily during the week during free time for campers
to purchase snacks, ice cream, drinks, toiletries, t-shirts,
etc. Campers make a "deposit" into an account and
it works as a debit system throughout the week. Unspent money
is returned Saturday morning during check out. There are no
cash purchases during the week. Ceramic and leather projects
are also deducted from this account. $20-$25 is usually a
sufficient amount for a 1 week camper.
