A Beautiful Location & A Tight-Knit Staff

We are a beautiful, small camp located in the Endless Mountains of Northern Pennsylvania (just

minutes from the PA Grand Canyon in Wellsboro, PA). His Thousand Hills (HTH) Christian Camp

and Retreat Center hosts retreats of 10-100 guests, as well as camps and events. Our staff also lead a

9-month discipleship program called Planted for 7-15 young adults each year, that cultivates a love

and knowledge of God through Bible training, hands-on farming, outdoor adventure, and life skill

development.

The small team of staff at HTH is a tight-knit community of families and individuals providing warm

hospitality and spiritual discipleship to guests and gap year students. We steward and care for over

100 acres of woods and meadows and over a dozen buildings, which we utilize for year-round

ministry. Is this the kind of ministry team you'd like to be a part of?

A Unique Opportunity

We are at an exciting stage of ministry growth as the Planted Gap Year program enters its 4 th year

and the number of students significantly expands, and as we begin to develop our own camp, retreat,

and event programming to better serve local/regional churches and be a light for the gospel in our

immediate community. We humbly seek direction from the Lord and his people as we consider how

to better utilize this camp for his glory. We also recognize the need to bring on new staff to make this

growth possible!

We are seeking someone with a love for Christ, a joyful commitment to serving others, a teachable

spirit, and maintenance skills. As part of the small staff, it is important for a full-time staff member

to be actively engaged in various aspects of the camp and gap year ministries, demonstrate spiritual

maturity, and be active in and accountable to a local church. Is this where God may be calling you?
