JHM SUMMER CAMP FAQ'S
CAN MY STUDENT REQUEST TO BE IN A CABIN WITH SPECIFIC FRIENDS AND/OR LEADERS?
Yes! There is space on the registration form for friend and leader requests. We will do our very best to place each student with at least one of their requests.
WHO ARE THE LEADERS? CAN PARENTS COME AS LEADERS?
Our Leaders are all adult volunteers who have gone through the extensive Saddleback Student Ministries volunteer onboarding process, which includes an FBI background check, fingerprinting, staff interview, orientation, and training.

DO I HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF SADDLEBACK CHURCH FOR MY STUDENT TO ATTEND CAMP?
No! All incoming 6th-8th grade students are welcome to register for JHM Summer Camp.
HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE STAYING IN EACH CABIN?
Depending on the size of the cabin, capacities will range from about 6-15 people. Individual cabins will only be accessible to the campers and leaders staying in them. In other words, we ask all campers and counselors to stay out of other people's cabins and only access their own.
WHAT IS THE STUDENT TO LEADER RATIO?
There will be one adult leader for every five students at camp. Every cabin group will have at least two adult leaders.
HOW DOES TRANSPORTATION TO/FROM CAMP WORK?
We will be taking buses to and from camp. The buses will depart from and return to Saddleback Church Lake Forest for both weeks of camp.
MY SON/DAUGHTER HAS DIETARY RESTRICTIONS – WHO DO I CONTACT ABOUT THAT?
Please list any restrictions and/or allergies your student has on their registration and we will pass these along to Thousand Pines. The Thousand Pines dining staff is very accommodating with dietary restrictions and allergies. You are more than welcome to call the camp yourself! Their number is: 909-338-2705.
WHAT IF MY SON/DAUGHTER GETS HOMESICK WHILE AT CAMP?
It happens! Our leaders and staff will do our best to help your student get through their homesickness and will keep you in the loop when necessary. If, however, they are not able to bounce back after 24 hours, we will call you to come pick them up.
I’M NOT SURE IF I CAN AFFORD THE COST FOR CAMP – WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
JHM Summer Camp costs $499. We don’t want finances to stand in the way of your son/daughter coming to camp. We have payment plans and scholarships available based upon need. You can apply for a scholarship HERE.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO WEEKS OF CAMP?
Nothing! Both weeks are exactly the same. Because of Saddleback’s size, we can't all fit in one week at Thousand Pines. We love Thousand Pines so much that we would rather do two weeks of the same camp than one week with less students able to attend.
Week 1 is for Lake Forest students only.
Week 2 is for all campus students, including Lake Forest.
Week 1 is for Lake Forest students only.
Week 2 is for all campus students, including Lake Forest.
WHAT IS THE REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY?
If you need to cancel your student’s registration, you can request a refund up until July 12, 2026. You will receive a refund for your payment(s) except for the $99 non-refundable deposit.
HOW DOES THE WAITLIST WORK?
We try our absolute best to take as many students as possible with us to Summer Camp! Spots are filled based on a student's specific grade and gender.
