Path through the redwoods at Mt. Gilead, a Christian camp in Northern California.

A Christian Camp in Northern California Since 1963

Nestled in the Northern California redwoods, there is a palpable peace at Mt. Gilead that is hard to describe — but unmistakably present. That peace isn’t just scenery. It’s connected to this camp’s six decade dedication to the Lord.

“In a time when popular philosophy often dictates beliefs, Mt. Gilead has maintained a high view of Scripture. We are unabashedly a Bible camp.”

Since 1963, only three Executive Directors have led this ministry — a continuity of leadership that reflects steadfast focus on God, His mission, and His Word.

Mt. Gilead is affiliated with InFaith.

Our History & Story

Christian Camp in Northern California’s Redwoods

Mt. Gilead sits on 276 acres of redwood forest.

There is something majestic about the forest. When the tallest trees in the world surround you, the noise of everyday life quiets — and space opens up for God to speak.

Testimonials from the Redwoods

“Mt. Gilead Timothy Teams was the best decision I made this year. I grew more in my faith those weeks than I did the entire school year.”

— Briar, Timothy Teams Participant

“My daughter came home quieter in the best possible way — thoughtful, grounded, full of things she wanted to share about God. Mt. Gilead does something you can’t manufacture.”

— Parent, Summer Camp Family

“We’ve retreated here three years running with our leadership team. The facilities and setting are excellent — but it’s the atmosphere of peace that keeps us coming back.”

– Pastor, Guest Retreat Group
