The next phase will include the expansion of the current dining hall into the Sturrock Meeting Room.  The plans include installing dividers where the current wall is between the two rooms.  This will allow us to feed up to 250 people at once, but will allow us to still use the Sturrock Room as a meeting room while smaller camps are using the facility.

 

The third phase is adding two new cabins down around Caddo Hall to increase the sleeping capacity of Gilmont as a whole. This will also allow Gilmont to have another area where groups can have a retreat, but increase the total number of campers we can have during a larger camp.

 

The final phase that Gilmont has had is a larger office space, and plans to build a Welcome Center where new and current users can come and feel a warm and welcoming atmosphere.  This will allow our staff to be able to set up better means of communications between groups as well as meet the needs of the church.

 

Looking For a Few Good People!

Gilmont is looking from each church to be able help us in Gilmont’s growth and planning process.  Are you a person that has ideas for camps? Whether it is for  young kids all the way to senior adults we are trying to do programming for all ages throughout the year.  Do you have a love for Camp Gilmont and you want to help raise the awareness of Gilmont as a whole?  We are looking for at least one person that would like to be an Ambassador of Gilmont.  Are you that person?  An ambassador is someone that will be a voice for Gilmont, actively pursue a relationship with CG, stay in communications with CG, help promote Gilmont within your community and church, and possibly be involved in future planning meeting @ Camp Gilmont.

Camp Gilmont has been trying to help you become more aware of different things going on here.  Now we ask you how you would like to give to Camp Gilmont and help its mission to God.  Do you want to financially give toward new buildings and expanding of current structures in helping Gilmont grow to allow more people to experience God’s natural beauty and setting?  Do you want to help become a part of a team of people that want to help raise Gilmont’s Awareness and promote the future of Gilmont? Are you going to challenge yourself to make a connection with Gilmont again or maybe for the first time?  Whichever you choose to be a part of, God has a purpose for you and Gilmont.  If you are one that wants to do all of the above there is no problem with that, so do not feel that you can only do one of the above.  Thank you in giving of this time for Gilmont.  Please contact Camp Gilmont at (903) 797-6400 or email us @ cgilmontpc@aol.com and begin your journey with Gilmont toward the future.

Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts.

Camp Gilmont’s Board of Directors and staff are currently involved in a process of prayerfully considering what God wants Gilmont to become.  We feel that God is calling us to step outside our comfort zone and step into faith; that Camp Gilmont needs to start a growing process. The items that are included on this page are items that have been discussed in this process.  Gilmont is going to be taking a journey toward the future and to what God has planned. We ask you to join us in taking that step of faith and join us on this journey. 

 

We are excited about a new “Building Campaign” and have started it first of all with construction of a new home for Camp Gilmont’s Assistant Manager, James Hilliard & his wife Sarah. We have raised some of the amount that is going toward this new home, but do not have the total amount needed for completion.

 

The first big phase of faith includes building a larger (multi-purpose) meeting room that will hold around 300 people in chairs and up to 200 people in tables and chairs. This has been a need for quite some time now, but we feel that God is now leading us to start construction in the near future.  We are very happy to announce that we have received anchor gifts of $500,000 toward this new meeting facility.
