camp 2025

For more than 30 years Grace Bible Church has taken a group of Junior High and High School students, counselors, and support staff for a week during the summer to Hume Lake Christian Camp. Our students join other students from churches all around the country for epic, high-energy, and life-changing programing. Through ultra famous recreation, live skits and plays, and impactful worship, Hume brings the Bible to life like you've never seen before. Camp is a unique life trajectory changing experience for our students to create community with their friends, leaders, and youth group as a whole. The best week of summer is coming and you don't want to miss out! 

JULY 20th - july 26th

Limited Spots Available 
Camp ages are based on grades for NEXT school year! 
To secure your spot, you will need to pay the $200 non-refundable* deposit for each student you wish to register.

We don’t want finances to be the reason students can’t go to camp. Between Camperships, matching by GBC, and a very generous congregation, the cost of camp should never be a reason that a student shouldn't attend!

Packing list

Packing List (Meadow Ranch + Ponderosa)

If your child is bringing prescribed medications, vitamins and supplements, these will be collected on Saturday during the luggage drop-off / health screening (see below). Hume considers any vitamin supplement, or over-the-counter therapy that is taken to treat a condition or maintain health to be a "medication". If your child is bringing medication or supplements, please send them in their original containers. Sending medication in anything other than the original container may result in the camper not receiving it.

Sending mail 

Send TEN days prior to desired delivery date.

hume health + sick camper policies

Hume's Health and Safety Policy
Hume cares about providing the highest level of healthcare to our campers and staff. Check out this important info for everything you need to know about health and safety while at camp.


**Also please note in the above document our Marijuana and CBD Policy, new for 2024.**
Hume's Sick Camper Policy
Campers who feel ill while at camp, and are brought to the health center by their youth leader, will be evaluated for a fever and other contagious symptoms. If a camper is found to have a fever in excess of 100.4 and have potentially contagious symptoms, they will be isolated at the health center until the fever is gone for 24 hours without any anti-fever medication in their system, and their symptoms are improved. If symptoms persist or temperature goes above 102, then arrangements will need to be made to have the camper picked up from camp by a parent or guardian in the shortest time frame possible. If the 24 hour isolation period would exceed the time remaining in camp, a parent or guardian will be responsible for the pick up of the camper in the shortest time frame possible.
Hume's Sick Camper Transportation
It is imperative that parents are aware of this policy and are ready to pick up their camper in the case where they become sick and potentially contagious. Hume does not recommend transporting sick campers home in the same bus or vehicle that is being used to transport healthy students. In the event of serious injury or a life-threatening emergency, Hume will assist with the transportation of campers, but we strongly urge all churches to have an additional vehicle on site for the medical transportation of campers in non-emergency situations or due to illness.
