Hume Lake Christian Camps

The Hume Lake Outdoor Education program is a hands-on learning experience that will instill in students a passion for Christ, a respect for His creation and an understanding of the world around them.

Nestled deep in the Sequoia National Forest with multiple bodies of water and a variety of terrains, Hume Lake is the perfect classroom environment in which students will experience God's creation.

Each of our engaging classes is designed to exceed state science standards and reinforce our core values. Our energetic instructors make the learning process fun and memorable while continually pointing students back to the creator. Evening meetings feature speakers who know their bibles, live out what they teach, and know how to communicate with 5th through 8th graders.

Track 1

Zoology 101
“The Wild and Furry”
From the mighty grizzly bear to the tiny shrew, mammals have unique characteristics in the environment. Students will be learning about various native Californian mammals, and what they eat, who eats them, where they live, and how God made them uniquely special.

Waterfront Ecology
“Fish, Water, and Reels”
Water. It is essential for daily life but some scaly creatures call it their home. In this ichthyology class, students will learn all about these slimy swimmers. They will even be able to test their luck and see if they can catch their own fishies for themselves.

Plant Life-Trees and Logging
“Trees and Lumberjacks”
Trees provide us with the oxygen that is crucial for our living. God created these living giants for an important reason. Students will learn about the history of logging here at good ole Hume Lake.

Earth Compounds and Elements
“The Building Blocks of Life”
What are materials that God used to create not only this world but the universe? Students in this class will learn about the tiny compounds called elements. Then taking a step back, they will also find out about what the earth is made of.

Creation
“Let there be a class on Creation!” And it was so.
Our God is a powerful God. He created everything in this universe. In this class, students will learn about the creation of the world, how humans messed up and why all of this is important today.

Flight
“Up, up and away”
Birds fly and eventually humans mastered the technique…with the help of machines, of course. In this class, students will learn the principles of flight and Bernoulli’s principle. They will put what they have learned into play when they build their own glider and see if they can beat the arch nemesis of flight: gravity.
