Meet the Camp Evergreen Family
Our counselors are energetic, fun-loving, Christian college students.
They have been carefully interviewed and chosen based on their character and mentorship abilities. Many of the Camp Evergreen staff members are campers who fell so in love with Evergreen that they had to find a way to continue to come back summer after summer. Some staff members have even been married on property. Many more have been married by the long term Camp Pastor, Toby Grady.
Campers are placed in a cabin with at least one Counselor and one Junior Counselor or Counselor-in-Training for a ratio of at least two staff members per eight campers. Staff members are recruited from college campus ministries and go through both a background check and a drug test prior to employment. All lead staff attend a full week of staff training prior to the beginning of camp.
