A traditional girls camp for this generation…
At Mt. Gilead, girls can just relax and be themselves. Acceptance, love, and encouragement are the foundations for our summer program. Here at camp, girls have the freedom to try new activities, create lasting friendships, and grow in a safe, nurturing environment without the pressures and distractions of today.
If you have a young woman growing up in this generation, then you understand that she is constantly feeling pressure from media and peers to look and act a certain way. Our summer program focuses on bringing your camper back to the core of Who She Really Is: Loved and accepted By Christ – that source is where we find our true worth and value – and that’s what really matters.
