"I love coming up here! I love getting closer to God and seeing my friends that come up every year."
"The CCA program was an amazing experience for me. I found some answers I had been looking for, and I came back from camp renewed in my faith and so much closer to God. And it wasn't only the lessons and devotions I heard, but also through serving the families. The Lord showed me that serving, although it can be hard work, it's a joy, and how important it is to give your all in everything you do. I can't wait to come back next year."
Lyndsey
"One week as a CCA changed my life. After one of our morning Bible studies I wanted to give my life to Jesus truly for the first time. After talking and praying about it with a couple of my counselors, I decided it was the right thing for me to do, so the Wednesday of camp during my free time I sat down with one of my counselors, prayed, and dedicated my life to Jesus."

"I came up this year during week 4, and I absolutely loved it. It was just really cool because you could kind of see how God was working through all of us to help the families. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but it was so beautiful and amazing. I totally felt God there. I can't wait to come back week 7 and all the times after that!"

"I love coming up here. This is my second year and I feel that I can really connect with God here. Thank you."

"The CCA program has been so important in my life. I grew and changed so much over four weeks of the program. It is so beautiful to serve for God and see all the beauty He has blessed Forest Home with. I love making such strong connections with the counselors and the other girls, as well as the pure conviction and understanding that we are truly sisters in Christ. I would be a different person without this life-changing program."
Sidney - Chapel Hill, NC
"I've been coming to Forest Home since I was a kid. I grew up coming here, I've loved the Christian atmosphere and the staff is amazing I started CCAing as soon as I could. It was a new experience and now I'm hooked on CCAing too. The families are great and your cabinmates always come back with interesting stories to share it's like one big family. I usually stay in Forest Home at least 3 weeks during the summer now. I love Forest Home!!!"
Kylie J. - Torrance, CA
"CCA has been an amazing opportunity not only to grow as a strong Christian individual, but an independent young woman. I think CCA helps you develop a very strong character; and that it is exactly what new incoming freshmen need as they enter into a new environment. I am hoping for new CCA\'s come to Forest Home and that they enjoy it as much as I did when I began there. It\'ll be my 3rd year here this summer and I learn something new each summer. Thank you CCA counselors! "
