Hume Lake Christian Camps

Overview

Wagon Train is a fun, rustic summer camp for kids age 8-11 years old. This Old West experience includes sleeping in a real covered wagon, learning Archery and BB guns, riding canoes and kayaks around the pond and exploring Fort Logan (our three story island fort) . But the fun doesn’t stop there! Camp-wide recreation games like Capture the Flag, the Water Carnival and our awesome night game Stampede will have you talking about camp for years to come. You’ll also sit around a campfire singing worship songs, memorize scripture, watch amazing skits about the Bible performed by the Wagon Train staff and hear each morning and evening the Good News of Jesus and his love for us. I almost forgot to mention: D&G tag, the Flying Fox zipline, Chipmonk rappelling rock, Giant Swing, Trading Post, and the new Tree House Hill. You’ll experience all this and more, like great food, friends and fun.

Dates and Speakers

• Speaker:Wagon Master Shep
  

  Hi, my name is Shep. As the Wagon Master at Wagon Train, I always look forward to chapel times. Chapels at Wagon Train are an inspiring time of looking into Gods Word. It is my desire that campers grow in their knowledge of Jesus Christ and deepen their relationship with Him. Whether around the campfire or in wagon times, campers will be challenged from the Truth found in the Bible. Teaching the Bible to kids is my passion and I love finding fun, new ways to bring the messages alive. Sometimes that means getting a little crazy or even messy at times, but the message is never watered down.

Activities

• Flying Fox:Zip Line
  

  Zooming across the upper grass lawn on the amazing Flying Fox. That's where you'll find many campers at free time. This zipline offers a fun, safe thrill ride for campers of all ages. This is one you have to try!

• Giant Swing
  

  The Giant Swing is one of the most fun thrill rides at Wagon Train. Enjoyed by kids and adults, this 10' tower and 40' swing make for quite a ride.

• D & G:David and Goliath disc tag
  

  D&G is short for David & Goliath. It is a tag game played with discs between campers (Davids) and their counselors (Goliaths). When campers or counselors get tagged they must place their disc on their head and walk back to "Heaven" until the next game. If the Davids eliminate all the Goliaths then the Davids win and vice-versa. This is a favorite of many campers and a highlight of their experience.

• Rappelling
  

  Rappelling is a great adventure activity. Campers will learn how to use safety equipment to rappelling down our very own Chipmonk Rock. This is an excellent exercise in faith that challenges campers to put their trust in the equipment and our instructors.

• BB Guns
  

  Campers have an opportunity to learn how to safely handle and shoot a BB gun. They then get a chance to test their aim as they compete for the sharp-shooter award. This activity is instructed by the Wagon Train staff and supervised also by the counselors.

• Fort Logan
  

  Fort Logan is our enormous three-story island fort. It is surrounded by calm waters that are perfect for canoes and kayaks. You can get to the island by the Tom Sawyer Raft or across the wobbly Barrel Bridge. Monday's are water fun day at the Island, filled with races, creek rides and water fights.

• Archery
  

  During this activity campers will be instructed by Wagon Train staff how to properly shoot a bow and arrow. Helped and encouraged by their counselors, campers will be competing for the marksman award.

• Crafts
  

  At the Trading Post campers will be instructed in a variety of crafts by our very own Trading Post Lady and Sidekick. Along with their counselor they will get to exercise their creativity as they personalize their very own craft. During this time we take the opportunity to compare the craft with a truth from God's Word to help the campers understand that we all have a Creator that loves us.

• Swimmin' Hole
  

  A great place to cool off with friends after an afternoon of big fun. Supervised by our excellent Wagon Train Lifeguards, everyone is sure to have a fun, safe time here.

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.
