Be a Counselor

 

Information on becoming a "Counselor In Training"

Be a Counselor

Our camping program 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.  You will arrive at camp on Saturday afternoon, the day before the campers arrive and will leave the next Saturday morning.   You may speak with a member of the Outdoor Ministries Committee or 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 check out our schedule on-line.  You will be matched with a volunteer leader or "dean."
