We know the cost of camp can be daunting, especially if you have more than one child.  We strongly encourage you to involve the whole family and especially the camper to help fundraise for camp.  This increases a sense of appreciation and ownership in their spiritual development.  Recycling, yard work, housework, and notably sponsor letters have all proven helpful in raising money for camp. 

Yes! The first 250 campers to register will receive $50 off their final balance for camp. If you are sending multiple kids to camp, we also offer a sibling discount of $50 per camper.

If, after signing up, your camper is unable to attend camp, please contact us as soon as you are aware at camp@highdesertchurch.com. Refunds are dependent on the dates outlined on our camp refund policy.

Campers will meet at HDC Victorville, where will take buses to and from camp. You will get more details about check in day as we get closer to camp!

High School will check in to camp on Sunday, June 30 at HDC Victorville at 2pm. We will arrive home on Friday, July 5 around 12pm. We will update parents via text once we have a more accurate arrival ETA.

Our camp counselors are volunteer leaders who are background checked, trained on safety, equipped to care for students, and share the gospel. Our ratios are roughly two adult counselors to ten student campers.

 Yes! We will do our best to accommodate your request, but we cannot make guarantees. Please provide friend requests when you register your child.

We will notify parents/students of team colors prior to camp. Cabin assignments will be given at check-in.

CELL PHONES: Campers are NOT ALLOWED to bring cell phones, smart watches, or tablets with them to camp. Any campers who do so will be sent home from camp and no refunds for camp will be given. Our goal and desire is for students to experience a distraction-free week at camp. If there is an emergency, please contact Forest Home directly at (909) 389-2300.

Forest Home does not make phone services available for campers. If there is an extreme case involving your child at camp that warrants parental contact (i.e. discipline, sickness, injury, etc.) you will be contacted by our staff.

For the safety of all campers, Forest Home DOES NOT allow visits by anyone other than church staff during camp.  Early arrival or pick-up of campers by parents is permitted in certain cases – they must be arranged in advance with church and camp staff.

Yes! Please make sure to label all of your camper’s items. Check out the packing list here!

To ensure mail reaches your camper while they are at camp, please either:

1. Pack any letters, cards, or packages in your camper’s suitcase for them to find once they arrive at camp.
   
2. Give camper mail to HDC team on departure day. Please ensure that each piece of camper mail is labeled with the camper’s first and last name and the desired delivery day.

Yes, please indicate your child’s dietary needs on their Forest Home registration.
