CAMP 2026
HUME LAKE

JULY 19 - 25, 2026

For over 30 years Grace Bible Church has faithfully partnered with Hume Christian Camps to provide a distraction free space for Junior High and High School students to have an encounter with Jesus. Hume shows students the reality of what it means to be a follower of Jesus and are given an opportunity to encounter discipleship on display through Hume staff, GBC leaders, and Support Staff. Camp at Hume Lake is a place where life long memories, friends, and decisions are made. For many it has been a life trajectory-changing experience and an incredible opportunity to build 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.

As a result of our faithful partnership, Hume has given GBC the ability to pre-purchase a set number of camper spots. Reservations to attend camp with GBC will be open to the public (online) on Wednesday, March 4th. Spots are limited, and a waitlist will be started if all the spots we have are accounted for.

Total Cost: $995

To reserve your spot, you will need to pay the $250 non-refundable deposit for each student you wish to send to camp (contact us if you need assistance with the initial deposit).
We don’t want finances to be the only reason students can’t go to camp. Between Camperships, matching by GBC, and a very generous congregation, we want to help make camp possible for our students, if possible.   If the deposit is financially too much for you, please contact us.

SUMMER 2026 THEME ....

This summer, we will look at the Psalms of David to discover an honest and real representation of the life of the believer. Through David, we see an example of a man whose heart is continually being tuned to the heart of God through both the tragic and triumphant seasons of life. As we dive into the Psalms of David while also following the narrative of his life, we gain insight into both the internal and external world of the believer. As believers, God is forming us into the image of Christ for His glory and our sanctification.

Theme Verse
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 
Psalm 51:10
Every heart tells a story. This summer, you are invited to be a guest at Hart’s Manor, the residence of the mayor, Davey Hart. On this specific night, we welcome you to join the party at the Manor, but look closely, because this story might not be what you expect. A death has occurred, secrets will come to light, and every guest is now a suspect. What begins as a murder mystery quickly becomes something deeper; a story about identity, brokenness, grace, and redemption. Spoiler alert, this isn’t really about solving a crime. It’s about discovering the condition of the heart. So please, join us this summer, because at Hart’s Manor every heart will be up for questioning. Will you solve the mystery or be left wondering, WHODUNIT? (click the image for a preview video!)

Super Spirit Day | Board Game Bonanza
Get ready to pass ‘Go’ and collect some serious rec points! Whether you want to roll in as a high-stakes Monopoly tycoon, a life-sized chess piece ready for battle, a colorful suspect from a classic whodunit, or a vital resource from Catan, it’s time to bring your favorite tabletop adventures to the rec lawn! The team colors will be Navy and Gold (for Ponderosa) and Blue and Yellow (for Meadow Ranch).
HEALTH AND SAFETY AT CAMP
Hume cares about providing the highest level of healthcare to campers and staff. Check out this important info for everything you need to know about health and safety while at camp.

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 POLICY 
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.
