About the Event
High School
Summer Camp at Forest Home is designed to challenge, encourage, and engage high school students in their relationship with Jesus. Each activity during the week is purposefully planned to get them out of their normal routines and challenge them into something more significant, more adventurous, and more intentional! Students will enjoy living in community, making new friends, and creating memories that will give them confidence as they navigate the changes and challenges that high school brings.

Can my student bring their phone (or other electronic devices) to camp?
Students are not allowed to bring cell phones to camp. Forest Home’s cell phone policy is:
Due to our Forest Home's commitment to providing guests with sanctuary and solitude, they are a cell-phone free destination for all children and youth. This means that they will continue to ask young campers to leave all electronics (including cell-phones) at home. Student Ministries will provice parents with Pastor Jerrod’s phone number at check-in to use in case of an emergency or you can call Forest Home directly at 909-389-2300. If any student needs to contact their parent, Pastor Jerrod will make his phone available to them for that purpose. Thank you for your understanding!
What should my student(s) pack?
A packing list will be sent out as we get closer to camp when they send us the list for our specific camp. Forest Home’s website has general packing information. Remember to label all items with your student’s name.
How do I get updates about camp once I’ve registered?
Check your emails often, especially in the weeks leading up to camp as it gets closer to when camp starts. Also check your spam folder if you haven’t heard anything. When registering, make sure your email address is correct. You can also contact student ministries with any questions at Student Ministries or call 909-335-7333.
I need fundraising ideas.
We realize that camp is costly and therefore encourage students to send out fundraising letters to friends and family asking them to partner in investing in their spiritual growth and walks with the Lord. It’s been said one week of camp is equivalent to one whole year of youth group. Things to include in your letter are:
- Where you are going and why you’re excited for this summer camp
- What summer camp means to you personally and for your relationship with Christ
- How their prayers and support helps you
- How they can give to your account
What is your cancellation policy?
To receive a refund (minus the $100 deposit), you must cancel by June 16. If you cancel after this date, you will not receive a refund.
Does my student need to bring spending money?
Spending money is not a necessity at camp but many students will want to purchase snacks or souvenirs during the week. Forest Home is cashless. Please go to their Store Card webpage to set up an electronic store card. You can also add/check the balance on this page as well as request a refund for the remaining balance.

Does the camp accommodate dietary needs?

If you have a specific dietary requirement or restriction, contact our Guest Dining department with your specifications (including peanut allergies) one week prior to your stay at 909-389-2271.
What do I need to do if my student is bringing medication (including over-the counter medicine)?
If your student is bringing any medicine to camp (including over the counter medications), read the following instructions on how to send it to camp: Forest Home’s Medication Policy. These instructions must be followed exactly. Please print and fill out the Medicine Post-Card and put it with your student’s medicine in a Ziploc bag to be collected at check-in. An Allergy Action Plan (completed by your doctor) is required for anyone with a severe allergy that requires an Epi pen: Allergy Action Plan
