Wildwood Discipleship Camp
Overview
Wildwood is Hume Lake's discipleship camp for students who wish to push themselves beyond the familiar into a world of exceptional devotion to God. Wildwood's philosophy of stripping away the layers of falsehood and distraction is evidenced in daily interactions and candid discussions about student's lives, struggles, and answering God's call for deeper devotion to Him. Set in the back forests of Hume's property, Wildwood emphasizes overcoming obstacles and learning to discipline oneself in response to the challenges of life.

Theme & Promo
Each year we cover one of four core elements of spiritual life, this year we are studying doctrine. Our theme is called “Ginosko Theos,” a Greek phrase meaning “Know God.” We start the week by examining Acts 13:22 where Paul says, “…He raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’” David is a prominent figure in the Bible, and one that people seek to emulate for the very fact that he is called a man after God’s own heart. The second phrase is what we often miss, which explains what makes him such a man, i.e. that he will do all of God’s will. The significance of this to David is more than living in mere obedience, rather it is living in an obedience that comes from a deep and intimate knowledge of who God is. In our own struggle to become people after God’s own heart, we must be people who know God intimately and live a life of obedience that comes from our understanding his heart. It cannot be a secondhand knowledge, or an intellectual assent, but we must each know God personally. Throughout the rest of the week, we challenge students to look beyond what they are merely fed and challenge them to seek for truth themselves, all the while maintaining a strong emphasis on living a life of honesty, purity and integrity.
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.
