Frequently Asked Questions

I’m not Presbyterian. Can I attend Gilmont?

Certainly! Almost half of our campers are not Presbyterian, and some do not have a faith tradition. We only ask that all campers participate in the Bible study, worship and small group discussion that are part of all of our camps.

Can I visit the camp before I come?

You bet! Call us at 903.797.6400 and arrange a tour.

Where will I be staying and what kind of bathrooms do you have?

You will be in a cabin with campers of similar age. Our cabins have air conditioning, bunk buds and showers. If you sign up for Adventure Camp you will be staying in our tree houses and hogans that have bunk beds. Toliets and showers are in the nearby bathhouse.

Can a friend come with me and be in the same cabin?

Yes! In the registration process you will be asked if you have a roommate preference. You can put in one friend’s name and he/she can put yours on their registration form.

What should I bring?

A list of things to bring can be found in the camp packet or on our website.

Do you offer financial assistance?

Gilmont has some scholarship funds generally reserved to help children from lower income families. Many Presbyterian churches also provide assistance. A camp scholarship application can be in our camp packet or online.
