High School Winter camp

HSM Winter camp: January 16-19, 2026

Winter camp FAQ

Winter camp is currently full, and we have closed registration.
 

Every winter we have the opportunity to take students up to Hume Lake for winter camp. All students stay in comfortable lodge rooms with 9 other students and one trained, screened, background-checked adult leader who helps guide their group through the week and process what they are learning. Click here to learn more about our host for the week- Hume Lake Christian Camps.

We will meet at 8am on Friday, January 16.

We will return around 4-6pm on Monday January 19.

Winter Camp registration is open to current High School Students in the 9-12th grades.

The cost for camp is $650.

Yes! There is space on the registration to put one friend request down.  We cannot guarantee multiple friends will be in the same cabin, but can at least accommodate one friend request.

Yes! We will meet at Calvary and take charter buses to and from camp.

We never want a student to not attend because they cannot afford the price of camp.
 
The maximum amount that Calvary is able to give out is limited, so we require that you also apply for Hume Lake’s scholarship. 
 
The deadline to apply for scholarships with Calvary and on the Hume Lake Medical was 12/17/25.

The short answer is no! While this camp is unapologetically a bible-based, Christian experience, we welcome all students to join us to ask serious question about faith and consider who Jesus is. Each year dozens of students who do not attend church come with us and find the experience fun, informative, and helpful in their own understanding of faith!

We focus on recreation, worship, and teaching, and we this platform to encourage students to take their next steps with Jesus.

Free time activities include sledding, ice-skating, broom hockey, mechanical bull, snowboard run, and the box-sled blitz.

We ask that students leave ALL technology at home. We want to ensure your children get the best experience possible at camp. Phones are not allowed at camp and will be collected on the bus before we get there. This will ensure a distraction-free time with friends, leaders, and God. There are pay phones available at camp by the general store that can be used during free time with quarters.
 
You can also send your child emails through the Hume Bunk1 app, but they cannot respond to you. It is only a one-way communication tool.
 
In the case of an emergency where you need to reach your child, Hume has a number you can call, and they will relay the message to us. 
 

We recommend a budget of no more than $80. Credit cards are the easiest and safest option to avoid the heartbreak of lost cash. They take credit cards everywhere at camp.

We also stop for lunch on the way to and from camp, and recommend $15 for each stop.

Day 1: Pray That They Will Know Jesus

Scripture to Read

“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3

Things to Remember

  1. Your greatest hope for your child is not simply that they are successful, safe, happy, or well behaved. It is that they know Jesus.
  2. You can teach them about God, bring them to church, and model faith for them, but only God can transform their heart.


Prayers to Pray

  1. Jesus, help them know You. Open their eyes to see who You are and draw them into a genuine relationship with You.
  2. Jesus, help them love You. May their faith become more than knowledge, tradition, or something inherited from our family.
  3. Jesus, help them follow You. Give them a lifelong desire to trust You, obey You, and walk with You.
