Be a Counselor!

Camp Counselors ROCK!

The camping program at Pilgrim Lodge depends on the help of volunteers each summer. The camping season at Pilgrim Lodge is a faith mentoring program. Please help vitalize our ministry with the gift of your time. Most counselors come back year after year because a week at Pilgrim Lodge is such a rich and rewarding experience for everyone involved.

You will be asked to attend several planning meetings in the spring or early summer. For most sessions you will arrive at camp the day before campers do and will leave at the end of your session after the last child has been picked up.

You may speak with a member of the Outdoor Ministries Committee, e-mail the camp office, or call us at 724-3200 to volunteer or ask questions. Let us know if you are interested in a particular date or age group. You can also check out our on-line schedule.

You will be matched with a camp session leader or "Dean" in need of volunteers.
