Final Winter Camp Details
Fellow Parents,
We are almost there! Thanks for helping me out by completing the online registration and paying your balance! Your attention to this has helped a ton on my end!
Who’s Coming?!
We have 21 kids going this time!…7 girls and 14 boys. Fellow parent, Megan Martin will be coming as the girl’s counselor, and myself and my right-hand college-aged fellow, Gibson Gutierrez will be with the boys.
When To Drop-off/Pick-up:
Check-in at the camp begins at 4pm on Friday, March 17th. That’s a bit early for us who are driving over an hour to get there, but it’s important we try to get there well before dark. So, we need to be leaving the church parking lot no later than 4pm. Please arrive at the church no later than 3:30pm. I know this may be difficult with some school schedules, but it’s the latest that’s doable for our collective schedule.
Church Address:
2520 N. Euclid Ave
Upland, CA
We are planning to return home on Sunday, March 19th after lunch around 1:00pm. This will likely return us to the church around 2:15pm-ish.
Medical Screening
Once again, Hume is requiring that all students see a medical professional within 24 hours of coming to camp. Covid tests are NOT required this time. But Hume does want all students pre-screened and a form signed verifying no germs are coming up with them. As a parent, expecting for parents to arrange for this 24 hours in advance is highly inconvenient. Therefore, I am trying to locate a “healthcare professional” who’d be willing to meet us in the church parking lot prior to leaving for camp, to verify no students have had “fever, vomiting, or diarrhea” within 24 hours of leaving. If you know of someone willing to show up at 3:30pm on Friday, March 3rd, please please PLEASE let me know! I know of no one.
Who’s Driving
Besides myself, Megan, and Gibson, Pastor Jim will be driving students up. For the return trip, Ruth Happ will pick students up from camp in place of Pastor Jim. I’m hoping that the “worst storm in years” will have fully passed and that we will not need snow chains. But having some fresh snow at WINTER camp will be wonderful!

How To Pray
Time at camp is often a high point in the year for a student’s spiritual life. This is to be celebrated. But we also want them to return home living lives that look more like Jesus. And here’s the thing, only the Holy Spirit can do the work of transformation in their hearts. Pray for God’s Spirit to open the eyes and ears of our kids’ hearts. For a bit more about what they will be encountering while at camp, here is a brief video from Hume’s Program Director: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d7V2ArdKfye0BqcMf8BtKVhNYIonNSKX/view?usp=sharing
See you by 3:30pm on Friday, March 17th!
Pastor Nick
