Schedule & Details
RETREAT SCHEDULE
AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES OPTIONS
Often the first thing to go in a marriage is a sense of passion and romance. This is not only a factor of busyness and focus, but a physiological phenomenon created by God, part of the course of every relationship. The courtship phase is designed to provide enough time and energy for a man and women to establish the foundations necessary for marriage. At times, it seems that men and women have such different ideas of romance and passion in marriage that we cannot get on the same page, at the same time. The Bible makes it clear that passion and romance are important to marriage. Discover the impact of this truth accompanied by practical ways to keep romance alive in your growing marriage.
Marriage coaching is for all couples, those facing immediate challenges and those desiring to strengthen their relationship for the days ahead. Marriage coaches are trained to listen, to observe, and to customize their approach to individual couples’ needs. 45 minute coaching appointments are available at no charge Saturday afternoon. Space is limited. Sign-ups will be Friday evening during the snack in Ponderosa Dining.
The strategy of marriage coaching is building on a foundation of biblical teaching and practical research based tools. For more information about marriage coaching just ask Curt or Rhonda---or check out their website betweentwotrees.org.
Treat your wife to a relaxing massage in a tranquil setting that is sure to melt away the tension and stress.

About Hume
People
Hume Lake exists to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Hume’s very mission statement expresses our desire that each person coming into contact with this ministry will learn of the love and power of a life lived in Christ. We believe that in this message lies the only hope for a world desperately searching for something more. The Ministry of Hume Lake Christian Camps is committed to reaching the lost for Jesus Christ.
Programs
As a Para-church organization, Hume seeks to serve the local church. Hume’s programs offer a Christian response to today’s culture through recreation, video, music, onstage speakers and presentations, which all work to introduce people to the Lord Jesus Christ in a way that is unexpectedly refreshing. The Hume environment is designed to minister to new believers while also encouraging those who are saved to pursue God in a new and deeper way.
Facilities
Nestled in the Sequoia National Forest, 365 acres of God’s creation provides the perfect backdrop for a life changing experience. While our facilities include multiple chapels, dining halls, pools, recreating lawns, ropes courses and deluxe accommodations; most important are the majestic setting and solitude where you can hear God speak to you. Hume’s facilities have been designed to provide everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable retreat experience.
Transformation
True life-transformation requires more than a fun mountaintop experience. Simply serving the local church by sharing the Gospel isn’t enough. We understand that true transformation is the work of the Holy Spirit. It’s our role to diligently and prayerfully prepare our staff, programs and facilities and then depend on God to work in the hearts of his people.
The purpose of meetings, seminars and activities at Hume Lake Christian Camps is to educate and inspire attendees with Biblical teaching and instruction. We also desire to follow government guidelines which require attendance at meetings for organized camps and educational organizations. Your participation at these meetings is necessary for us to accomplish these goals. Please plan to attend all meetings.
Hume Lake Christian Camps operates outfitting and guiding services and recreational events in the Sequoia National Forest under a special use permit with the United States Forest Service, and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color or national origin.
