Theme & Curriculum

A Theme That Brings God’s Word to Life

Every summer, Radiant features a theme and verse that help girls dive into God’s Word in a meaningful and memorable way. The theme flows through teaching, worship, devotionals, and hands-on experiences, making camp feel alive. Our team crafts curriculum intentionally so that every girl is learning the same biblical truths in ways that connect to her season of life. Sessions work together but are also designed to stand alone, so each camper can walk away with a full, meaningful experience no matter which week she attends.

Memorial Weekend – See the Light

Kick off the summer by learning to notice God’s presence in everyday life. Girls are introduced to the theme of light through Scripture and small intentional practices that help them see Jesus as the source of all life. By the end of the weekend, campers walk away with a foundation for seeing God in every situation and habits to recognize His light day to day.


Session 1 – Trust the Light

Session 1 helps girls choose faith over fear. Through stories in Scripture and hands-on activities, campers practice trusting God even when life feels uncertain. By the end of the week, girls leave feeling brave, empowered, and confident to let God guide their decisions, leadership, and relationships.


Session 2 – Live in the Light

Session 2 focuses on living honestly in God’s light and experiencing freedom from shame. Girls will practice confession, receive grace, and see how Jesus transforms thoughts, words, and actions. By the end of the week, campers come home lighter, more joyful, and ready to live openly and confidently in God’s love.


Session 3 – Shine the Light

Session 3 sends girls outward to reflect God’s light in the world. Through service, sharing their stories, and intentional acts of kindness, campers practice shining Jesus’ love wherever they go. Girls leave this session with a renewed sense of purpose, practical ways to live out their faith, and the confidence to be a light in every part of their lives.

Your summer of growth, fun, and faith is waiting!

Schedule

A Typical Day at Radiant

Every day at Radiant is intentionally designed to cultivate spiritual growth, Christ-centered community, and joyful service. While the schedule may vary slightly by week, here’s what a typical day looks like for a Radiant camper:

  • Morning Devotional
    Campers begin the day gathered together with the Radiant team for a short devotional. Afterward, they’re given time and space for personal reflection, allowing them to spend time in God’s Word and consider how it applies to their lives.
  • Breakfast
    The day continues with breakfast in the dining hall, where campers gather together to enjoy a great meal and connect before heading into the morning’s activities.
  • Morning Chapel & Trail Adventures
    Radiant campers divide into two groups for the morning. One half attends chapel while the other joins Family Camp to support younger campers during their morning program called Trail Adventures. Each Radiant camper works with the same age group throughout the week, building meaningful relationships with the kids they serve. Midway through the morning, the two groups switch. In chapel, campers experience worship, games, and engaging teaching through sermons and seminars. This time is one of the primary spaces for spiritual growth during the week.
  • Lunch
    Campers gather again in the dining hall for lunch, sharing stories from the morning and enjoying time together as a community.
  • Afternoon Free Time
    Afternoons are filled with all the best parts of camp life. Campers might jump into recreation activities, grab coffee with friends, prepare for the Lip Sync Battle, participate in optional programming, or simply relax and enjoy the beauty of the mountain.
  • Dinner
    Dinner is another chance to gather around the table, enjoy a chef-prepared meal, and connect with friends after a full afternoon.
  • Evening Babysitting
    Each Radiant camper is paired with a specific Family Camp family at the beginning of the week. During the evening sessions, campers spend time caring for the family’s children: playing games, sharing laughs, reading stories, and building meaningful connections. It’s a special opportunity to serve families in a tangible way while being the hands and feet of Jesus to the kids they care for.
  • Night Events
    Once evening babysitting wraps up, campers come back together for a different activity each night. From Rec Night and Worship Experiences to Cabin Nights and the always-iconic Lip Sync Battle, these evening events are filled with energy, laughter, and community before everyone heads back to their cabins for the night.

Application

Application & Acceptance Process

The Radiant Discipleship Program is a Christ-centered camp program designed for girls who are already following Jesus Christ and desire to grow deeper in their relationship with Him. Radiant Campers must align with our Statement of Faith.

All Radiant participants are required to complete an application and provide two non-family references. Because Radiant is an intentional discipleship program, this process allows our team to prayerfully and thoughtfully build each session.

Upon acceptance, a registration link will be sent to both the applicant and her parent to officially register for the summer.

Expectations

Radiant Camper Expectations

In order to uphold our commitment to camper safety, spiritual growth, and a positive community experience, Radiant campers are expected to follow the guidelines below while at Forest Home.

The Four R’s

  • Respect others and all property.
  • Resist unsafe behaviors.
  • Report anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or if rules have been broken.
  • Refresh your mind and body with Scripture and lots of water.

Touch. Talk. Territory.

  • Touch
    Acceptable physical interaction includes handshakes, high-fives, and side hugs. It is not acceptable to engage in kissing, unwelcomed touching, touching in areas covered by a bathing suit, or any sexual touching.
  • Talk
    Encouraging words such as “great job” and “you did awesome” are welcomed and encouraged. It is not acceptable to use profanity, slander, gossip, or threats. Certain topics are not to be discussed among Radiant campers and may only be discussed with a Radiant staff member. These topics include sexual content, sexual identity, gender identity, suicide, drug use, and mental or eating disorders.
  • Territory
    Your bed is your personal space and is reserved for you alone. It is not acceptable to sit or lay on other campers’ beds or go through belongings that do not belong to you. Campers must remain within the boundaries of camp and stay in visible, supervised areas.

Heart & Conduct

Radiant campers are expected to approach their week with a servant’s heart and positive attitude. Participants will serve, engage fully in their own programming, and connect with peers and leaders throughout the week.

We expect and encourage every Radiant camper to approach her responsibilities with humility, joy, and a willingness to grow.

Forest Home reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to ask any Radiant camper who is not following these standards to change her behavior and/or to be sent home. Campers sent home for not adhering to camper expectations will be ineligible to return to the Radiant Discipleship Program for the remainder of the summer.

Common Questions

What is Radiant?

Radiant is a fun, Christ-centered week of camp where girls grow closer to God and each other… and make memories that last a lifetime!

How long are the camp sessions?

We offer 3-night, 5-night, and 6-night events.

What does a typical day look like?

Days at Radiant are full of faith, fun, and friendship! Mornings begin with devotional time, breakfast, worship, and chapel, setting the tone for a day of growth and reflection. Each morning, campers also get to assist with trail adventures alongside Family Camp children. Afternoons are packed with adventure, including trail hikes, ziplining, the giant swing, the pool, high ropes, swimming, crafts, and milkshakes, plus free time to relax, hang out with friends, or explore. Evenings are spent serving younger campers through babysitting, followed by cabin conversations, group games, worship experiences, and high-energy activities like Lip Sync Battle. Every day is designed to help girls grow closer to God, build friendships, and live out their faith in practical ways.

What's included in the price?

Your cost covers it all: lodging, all meals, programming, and REC activities. You don’t have to spend a single extra penny while you’re here! While a Radiant camper can enjoy a life-changing experience without spending an extra cent, you may want to budget for a few optional treats. Items such as merchandise, milkshakes at the Clubhouse, or handcrafted drinks from Stagecoach Coffee Co. are not included in the base price.

What if my daughter has dietary restrictions or food allergies?

Our chefs can accommodate most common allergies and diets, including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and nut-free (our kitchens are nut-free facilities). If you have severe allergies like Celiac Disease, we ask that you bring pre-cooked, pre-portioned meals in microwave-safe containers. Refrigerators and microwaves are available in our dining halls. For detailed questions, contact Guest.Dining@foresthome.org

What should we bring?

Visit our Prep for Camp page for a full packing list and everything you need to know before you arrive.

Is Forest Home affiliated with any denomination?

Forest Home is an independent Christian organization with no denominational affiliation. Please view our Statement of Faith for more information.

What is the lodging layout?

Lodging layouts vary by cabin type.

What safety measures are in place?

In the case of an emergency, we have detailed action plans for every situation, and our staff are fully trained to keep your daughter safe.

Is there first-aid available on-site?

Yes. We have licensed medical staff (RNs and MDs) on-site 24/7 to care for any needs that may come up during your stay.

How are staff selected?

All staff complete a Live Scan, pass a background check, and affirm our Statement of Faith before serving at camp.

How can I contact my daughter at camp?

Radiant campers are not allowed to have cell phones at camp so they can stay focused and distraction-free. While we encourage leaving electronics at home, any campers who bring a phone must turn it in to staff for safe keeping. Phones are returned at the end of the week or in an emergency.

Campers generally cannot make or receive phone calls during the week, but Forest Home provides phone service if a camper needs to contact a parent or guardian. Likewise, if there’s a situation that warrants contacting you, camp staff will reach out promptly. This approach helps girls fully engage in their week, grow in community, and experience all that Radiant has to offer.
