Each camper is required to undergo a health screening. 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 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.
In order to uphold our commitment to camper safety, we enforce the following rules and expectations for Radiant campers while they’re at Forest Home:
Touch
Talk
Forest Home reserves the right in its sole discretion to ask that any Radiant camper who does not follow these standards to change their behavior and/or to be sent home. The Forest Home Radiant Discipleship Program is a “Closed Program” and we do not allow visitors or non-registered Radiant campers to visit. Exceptions can be made for family to visit a Radiant camper getting baptized by contacting radiant@foresthome.org
While girls are serving at Forest Home as a Radiant camper, we expect all Radiant campers to have a servant’s heart and positive attitude. Radiant campers will be expected to serve, participate in their own programming, and connect with their peers and leaders around them. We expect and encourage all Radiant campers to approach their responsibilities throughout the week with a positive attitude and the willingness to serve.
Territory
Forest Home reserves the right in its sole discretion to ask that any Radiant camper who does not follow these standards to change their behavior and/or to be sent home.
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. Exceptions can be made for family to visit a Radiant camper getting baptized by contacting radiant@foresthome.org
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
Radiant campers are not allowed to have cell phones with them at camp in order to remain distraction free. While we encourage all campers to leave electronics at home, campers who bring cell phones to camp must turn them into staff for safe keeping throughout the week. All cell phones will be returned at the end of the week or in the event of an emergency.
Forest Home will provide phone service for campers who need to contact their parents/guardians, though campers are generally 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, you will be contacted by camp staff.
All of these free time options will be available at various times throughout the week, weather permitting:
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 camper wishes to purchase drinks, snacks, FH merch, or projects in the craft cabin, extra spending money will be needed. 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.
