Supporting Camp Gilead How can you support Camp Gilead?
Though there are many different ways that you can support the camp, our main need is prayer! The Lord has shown Himself greatly through the ministry of camp. We praise the Lord that many children have come to find Christ as their personal Savior each week of camp.
Please keep each summer staff member in your prayers as they reach out to youth and families during the summer. Each person at camp has a ministry for the summer and this is quite a challenge at times.
Also please keep our Board of Directors and year-round staff in your prayers as well, as they make many tough decisions regarding camp.
Building for the Future, The Campaign for Camp Gilead:
Camp Gilead is currently involved in a Capital Campaign to build new housing facilities and restrooms. To see details on this project, click here.Memorial Scholarship Fund at Camp Gilead:
The "Memorial Scholarship Fund at Camp Gilead" was established in 1999 in memory of Taryn Kelly, a life-long camper and beloved summer staff member with a burning passion to see the lives of her campers changed. Since then, families and friends of staff members, campers, and founders of Camp Gilead have donated in memory of their loved ones, so that Taryn's passion and ministry might be carried out in the lives of campers who would otherwise not be able to afford to attend a week of camp. Over the years, hundreds of families have been blessed with partial or even full scholarships as their needs have been made known to the camp administrators. We especially desire to honor the memory and the family of Angie Franklin a long time camper and recent High School staff member who went to Heaven this past year. We are so very aware of the Sovereign and Faithful God whom we serve. Without that awareness, personally and daily, we would not have the Hope that only He can give. Please contact the camp office if you would like to donate to this fund, whether in memory of a loved one or just in general. Applications to receive Financial Aid are available by contacting the camp office as well.
Work Week:
The camp is in constant need of attention. If you or someone you know has the time to come and work, we will put you to work! Contact your church and set up a work group. This could be a great ministry for your youth group to participate in as well.
