Theme Verse — Daniel 1:8
“But Daniel RESOLVED in his heart not to defile himself…”
This summer at Forest Home Youth Camp, we’re saddling up for a journey through the life of Daniel, a young man whose faith carried true grit. In a world pushing him to blend in, bow down, and compromise, Daniel drew a line in the dust and resolved in his heart to honor God. His courage wasn’t loud bravado; it was quiet conviction. His strength wasn’t in defiance alone, but in deep trust that God was with him wherever he stood.
Daniel’s story reminds us that gritty faith isn’t about never feeling pressure, it’s about refusing to surrender when pressure comes. From palace halls to fiery furnaces to lion-filled nights, Daniel and his friends stood firm, proving that a resolved heart can outlast any cultural storm.
At Forest Home, our prayer is that every student discovers this same TRUE GRIT, a faith that doesn’t fold when life gets hard, but stands tall because it’s rooted in the unchanging character of God. Through powerful worship, engaging teaching, and unforgettable mountain moments, students will see that when we trust God, we never stand alone on the frontier of faith.
Our hope is that this week becomes more than a summer memory, it becomes a defining encounter with the God who still walks through the flames, still silences lions, and still strengthens His people to live with courage in a culture of compromise.
Because when hearts are resolved like Daniel’s, faith doesn’t just survive… it rides on with TRUE GRIT.

You must submit your final attendance count, including your male and female breakdown, at least two weeks before your arrival. Housing assignments are not finalized until these numbers are received, allowing us to provide the best accommodations for your group and others attending camp. If you need to request additional spots, please contact our Registration team. We will do our best to accommodate your request based on availability.
Before arriving at camp, please log in to your Forest Home account and verify that all students and leaders have completed their required health forms. If any forms are missing, contact those participants and have them completed as soon as possible. Ensuring everyone is registered and has submitted a health form will help your check-in process go as smoothly as possible.
Check-in begins at 3:00 PM. If your group expects to arrive late due to traffic, travel delays, or other circumstances, please email our reservations team as soon as possible.
Upon arrival, check-in will take place on the Lakeview Lawn or above the Creekside Field, depending on your assigned camp center. Directional signage will be posted along the main road, and Forest Home staff members will be available throughout the arrival process to help guide and welcome your group.
After parking, the group leader (or designated representative) should proceed to the appropriate check-in area while the rest of the group remains with their counselors on the Lakeview Lawn or Creekside Field.
Please make sure the group leader brings:
During check-in, a Reservations team member will provide your registration packet while our nurses and health technicians collect and process your group’s medications.
Once your group has completed check-in, the group leader will return to distribute cabin keys and wristbands. Forest Home staff will then direct your group to its assigned housing.
Dinner will be served at 5:30 PM in your camp center’s dining hall.
If you have any questions after arriving, feel free to ask any Forest Home staff member wearing a name tag.
On departure day, enjoy breakfast before gathering for your final session of the week.
Following the closing gathering, which concludes at approximately 10:15 AM, your group is free to depart. Please plan to be off property by 10:45 AM.
Lunch will not be served on departure day, so we encourage you to make travel plans accordingly.
Each camper is required to undergo a health screening and have that information recorded on the group’s “Health Screening Form” BEFORE arriving at camp. Please note, any ill campers or counselors should not come to camp until they are symptom free without medication for 24 hours. If a camper or counselor arrives ill or becomes ill at camp, they may be sent home, subject to the discretion of the camp nurse and first aid policies.

The Health Techs on duty will distribute medication during each meal and can be found in the First Aid Station to distribute medications as needed throughout your stay.
Please ensure that all dietary requests are indicated on your online medical form(s).
Our chefs are trained and able to accommodate the following common dietary allergies:
If you have a dietary need or allergy that our kitchen is unable to accommodate (like Celiac Disease), we require that you bring your own food to meet your dining needs during your stay.
If you have any additional questions, please contact our Director of Guest Dining, Cecilia Cabrera at Cecilia.Cabrera@foresthome.org and she will respond within 2-3 business days.
At Forest Home, we deeply care about the safety of our campers in every regard. During the Counselor Meeting, we will walk all counselors through the steps and policies that the Forest Home staff, counselors, and campers will abide by while at camp. We will walk through camper safety expectations for the event so that we can ensure every student is safe while at Forest Home.
If there is a serious family emergency and a parent needs to contact their child while at camp, they may contact the Forest Home Roundhouse at 909-389-2300 and they can put them in contact with the Camp Director.
Learn more about our approach to child protection, medical care, emergency preparedness, food safety, and recreation safety.
Forest Home is a closed campus. For the safety of all guests, only registered campers are permitted on-site. Please do not invite friends or family members to visit camp, even for a short period of time. Day passes are not available unless they have been approved in advance by the Camp Director.
We strongly encourage parents and guardians to send their camper mail in one of two ways:
Guardians can give camper mail to their group leader, ensuring that each piece of camper mail is labeled with the camper’s name and desired delivery day.
If you choose to send mail via USPS and it does not make it to your camper in time, Forest Home is not responsible for forwarding or returning parcels
We encourage campers to leave all electronics (including cellphones) at home and ask that all our guests join us in our efforts to keep our public areas at Forest Home cellphone free. Forest Home will provide phone service for campers who need to contact their parents / guardians, but generally speaking, campers are not able to make or receive phone calls during camp. If there is a situation with your child at camp that warrants contact of their guardian (homesickness, injury, not cooperating, etc.), you will be contacted by our camp staff immediately.
All of these free time options will be available at various times throughout the week, weather permitting:
Our photographers and videographers capture memorable moments throughout the event so your group can relive the camp experience.
A photo gallery link will be sent directly to your group leader a few days before camp begins. It is the group leader’s responsibility to share this link with camper families.
If you do not receive the photo link, please reach out to your group leader for access.
Your campers’ experience is all-inclusive. They do not NEED to bring extra money to have a full camp-experience – all meals and most activities are paid for in your campers’ registration cost. However, if your students wish to purchase drinks, snacks, FH merch, or projects in the craft cabin, extra spending money will be needed ($20-$40). Please note that Forest Home is a cashless campus.
All purchases must be made using a credit card, debit card, or Visa gift card.
If you bring cash, you can easily convert it into a Visa gift card while at camp. Please note that we no longer use the Store E-Card system, and cash is not accepted directly for purchases.
