"Camp Gilead is an environment where
Christ is seen in all things; from daily being awoken into God's awesome
creation, to the bedtime prayers flowing from the lips of campers. I
am confident in saying that my life would not be the same, and my
relationship with the Lord would be nowhere close to where it is today
without the time and experiences that I have encountered at Camp Gilead."

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I stay on the weekend?
HS staff will be required to go home or be off camp on weekends. HS Staff
will be allowed to stay with a family member or another staff member in the area
if it has been previously arranged with the parents and HS Staff Leader.
How much spending money will I need?
Each HS staff member will be given a weekly compensation to be spent in
the snack shop for candy, pop etc. Anything over and above must be provided by
the staff member. HS staff outing expenses during the week will be covered in
their summer tuition.
Who will be my counselor?
Two college age leaders are selected each year to act as counselors for
the HS staff, coming alongside each one to provide example, support,
encouragement and a listening ear. They also ensure that the program is fun and
adventurous!
Can I drive my car?
HS staff will be able to drive their car to camp with the approval of
parents. Upon arrival at camp, and when the car has been unloaded and parked,
each LIT/CIT must submit their keys to camp leadership. The keys may be checked
back to the LIT/CIT for weekend use and hour off use. High School staff will not
be allowed to drive anyone else in their car.
What does my tuition money cover?
Tuition covers summer materials such as Bible Study books, summer staff
shirt, weekly HS staff outings, weekly snack shop allowance, housing and food
for the summer. This money is due upon arrival at camp.
Summer Staff Beyond Reality
Go beyond reality...push the limits.
 That is what camp is all about. It is pure and untainted ministry. It is a chance to see the Lord take away what the world says is reality and to see lives changed for Christ...right before our eyes! What a privilege it is to get down to the heart of a camper, the heart of a staff member and see God at work.
Here at Gilead, we are excited about the opportunity that God has given us to minister to youth, college age staff, high school staff members and families through out the summer. Through exciting chapels, dynamic speakers and worship, cabin devotions and discussions, and wild and crazy games, campers as well as staff are encouraged to make Christ evident in their lives and to seek Him with all of their heart and soul.
Can you imagine...spending a summer with a dynamic team of servants excited about ministry and committed to Christ? Let God make it reality for you.
