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:

Our camp counselors are volunteer leaders who are background checked, trained on safety, equipped to care for kids, and share the gospel. Our ratios are roughly two adult counselors to ten kid 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/kids 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 kids 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:
Yes, please indicate your child’s dietary needs on their Forest Home registration.
All medications must be checked in on check-in day. Forest Home staff will be in charge of handling and administering all medications while we are at camp. There is a nurse on staff at Wild Rock and an entire health team on staff at Forest Home. Please make sure medications are in original packing with the prescription on them with written instructions.
Spending money is not a necessity at camp, but most kids will purchase camp swag, snacks, milkshakes, etc. during the week. Kids will have access to a camp store at Forest Home. Forest Home is Cashless, and all retail purchases must be made by credit card, debit card, Forest Home giftcard, or eGiftcard. The best way for campers at Wild Rock to purchase retail items is via eGiftcard.
Yes! Be sure to follow @hdckids 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 kids at camp, it is impossible to promise to get a picture of every kid.
