About Us
Camp GuilRock is a 210-acre camp located in Reidsville, North Carolina. Camp GuilRock was incorporated in January of 1970 and has been a beautiful retreat ever since. Camp GuilRock is overseen by their board of directors and is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, but is open to all people regardless of their religious affirmations. Camp GuilRock is able to remain open and serve the surrounding communities through fees and donations from camp supporters. The camp is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
VisionThe vision for Camp GuilRock started over 45 years ago when United Methodists from Guilford and Rockingham counties wanted to develop a Christian outdoor education and spiritual growth camp. Over the years, GuilRock has become a place where people come to experience God in a natural and relaxing environment. Our mission statement is "Discover Creation, Experience God, Grow in Faith". Our board of directors who oversees the camp is made up of laity and clergy from the Northern Piedmont district of the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church.

Meet the Director |
I love being at Camp GuilRock because I truly believe that Camp is a place that has so much to offer every person. My story with Camp starts back when I got the opportunity to serve as a counselor my sophomore year of college. That summer I fell in love with what camp not only taught the children that I worked with, but what it taught me. I saw the power of God work through me and affect children's lives in ways that I never thought possible. After that I continued to work summers at camp and 5 years later it ultimately lead me to working as a Year-Round Intern with North Georgia Camp and Retreat Ministries. Through the program I had a chance to learn from the wonderful directors about the skills needed to make camp a wonderful place not only to have fun, but also to grow in a relationship with Christ. Now I am excited to take those skills and bring them to Camp GuilRock and continue to help campers and staff Discover, Experience, and Grow together with Christ. -Eric Hearn
