Gilmont Summer Staff
Each summer Gilmont hires around 20 staff members to serve as counselors and support staff.
A job at summer camp is unlike anything else you will ever experience. It's fun. It's challenging. It's rewarding. You'll grow in friendship and in faith. You'll make a positive impact on the lives of campers while also developing as an individual, a leader, a team player, a steward of creation, and a follower of God.
While there are rhythms and routines in camp life, each day presents unique situations and new challenges. You'll work alongside a supportive and dynamic team to problem solve, process, and adapt. The skills you develop and experience you gain transfer to many different career paths.

What do past summer staff consider the best part about working at camp?
- "The best part of working at Gilmont was having a place to belong for the summer. Having somewhere to work where I know I’m wanted and loved and getting to make connections with other staff members and some campers."
- "The joys, the memories, the kindness and compassion of kids, the amount of times I laughed so hard, fellowship all summer long. "
- "The best part about working at Gilmont is hands down the friends I made. I really got to connect with staff and have met some of my best friends because of camp."
- "The best part about working at Gilmont was teaching kids how to experience nature instead of fearing it. Watching a camper's curiosity when you start interacting with nature and turn a creepy crawly into a learning experience is amazing, and that stuff impacts them and leaves them feeling more confident about exploring the outdoors."
