There is a $99 deposit due at the time of registration. Half of your balance is due on May 1. The remaining balance is due June 1.

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 in our camp refund policy:

If a cancellation is made by April 1, 2026, then a full refund, minus the deposit, will be issued. Any cancellations made from April 2 to May 20, 2026, will receive a 50% refund minus the deposit. Any cancellations after May 20, 2026, will not receive a refund.

Campers will meet at HDC Victorville, where they 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 28th, at HDC Victorville at 2:00 PM. We will arrive home on Saturday, July 4, around 11:00 AM.

Our camp counselors are volunteer leaders who are background-checked, trained on safety, equipped to care for students, and share the gospel. 

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 about team colors approximately one week before 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.

Hume SoCal does not make phone services available for campers. Students are not able to make or receive phone calls during camp. If there is an extreme case involving your child at camp that warrants parental contact (i.e., discipline, extreme homesickness, injury, etc.), you will be contacted by our staff.

For the safety of all campers, Hume SoCal DOES NOT allow visits by anyone other than church staff during camp. Late arrival or early pick-up of campers by parents is permitted in certain cases - they must be arranged in advance with the 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 your student's counselor 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 Hume SoCal registration.

Students are required to turn in medications at camp check-in, especially prescriptions. We encourage campers not to bring Over-The-Counter medications, unless specifically necessary. Hume SoCal provides a large variety of Over-The-Counter (OTC) medications that will be available if campers need them and will be distributed by the camp nurse. For a full list of medications, click HERE.

Students can spend money on both snacks and Camp merch. Hume SoCal recommends that campers bring around $60 spending cash for extra things they’d like to purchase at camp.

Yes! Be sure to follow @hdcstudents on Instagram to see pictures and updates from the week at camp. Please know we do our best to show as many pictures from the week as we can, but with several hundred students at camp, it is impossible to promise to get a picture of every student.

In addition, Hume SoCal has an app you can download, which will give you options to view and purchase photos directly from Hume. For more information, click HERE.
