ASK YOUR HSM PASTOR & LEADERS A QUESTION

We get it, sometimes you have questions that you just don’t feel comfortable asking in front of others. This is a place where you can submit your questions and we’ll answer them during the first Wednesday of every month and post answers to our Insta story.

If you have any questions about the Bible, God, Jesus, Christianity or life, we would love to have you submit those here and give us the chance to answer them.

Dear Parents,

 

We wanted to update you regarding camps at Hume Lake for this summer. Currently, we are planning on going to Hume Lake and have a limited number of spots available for each camp. We want to give your family all the current information we have so you can start looking forward to and praying about your student going to Hume Lake. 

 

WE WILL NOT BE TAKING INCOMING FRESHMEN TO WILDWOOD

The reason: Wildwood is designed as a discipleship camp. We want our brand-new Freshmen to come and enjoy all the amenities Ponderosa has to offer before experiencing the deep discipleship moments of Wildwood.

 

As we are preparing for Hume Lake this summer, we are excited about our students’ interest and are seeking adults who would like to be a counselor with our team. As a counselor, here is what you’ll get:

 

Free Hume Lake Camp for a week!

Ride on a bus full of amazing students!

Free Food!

Build relationships with other adults and students!

An unforgettable week that will have a lifelong spiritual impact!

 

 

The deposit for Hume Lake this year is $300 and is non-refundable

WILDWOOD (cost $755)

Wildwood is Hume Lake’s discipleship camp for high school followers of Christ who wish to push themselves beyond the familiar into an extraordinary life that is marked by intentionally pursuing Jesus. 

 

Wildwood presents students with daily devotions, purposeful interactions, candid discussions about their lives, and struggles, and answering God’s call for them to go deeper in their relationship with Him. Wildwood emphasizes discipleship by overcoming the obstacles of our world through learning to discipline oneself and experience true joy in Christ.

 

PONDEROSA (cost $925)

At Ponderosa, you will hear the Gospel preached, be challenged through scripture, engage in awesome worship through music, and get time—both alone and with your church—to process what God did in your life throughout your week at camp. You’ll get to be part of Hume’s high-energy recreation, which includes playing in the mud, running the Gauntlet, doing the Bike Jump, and dominating in Kajabe Kan Kan.

Your student’s time at Hume will make them want to come back for more!
