Description
A Presbyterian camp in the East Texas Piney Woods is lining up its 2027 counselor team to lead outdoor activities, Bible studies, and cabin life for campers. Teachers will recognize the blend of classroom-style behavior management, group facilitation, and mentorship this role demands.
Gilmont Camp & Conference Center runs an eight-week residential summer program on 400 wooded acres near Gilmer, Texas, and is preparing its counselor roster for the 2027 season running late May through mid-July. Counselors live alongside campers, lead recreational and faith-based programming, and complete a paid 12-day orientation covering safety certifications and behavior management techniques that mirror classroom skills. Housing, meals, and a weekly salary are included for the full employment period, with built-in time off during the season. The role suits educators looking to apply youth-development experience in an outdoor, mission-driven setting. Candidates should confirm exact pay, schedule, and openings directly with Gilmont before applying.
