Mount Hermon Summer 2011 Youth and Family Camps
1
Simply Follow Christ. Mount Hermon youth camps provide a distraction-free environment designed to create spiritual hunger for children and teens. One of my kids gravitated toward wilderness adventure camping, another loved the introspective serviceoriented camps, while yet another enjoys the traditional largegroup, co-ed experience. Each program immerses campers in an experiential encounter with their Creator and Savior. Campers simply learn about the love and irresistible grace of Christ—and they ‘get it’.

You may prefer to come to Mount Hermon with your children and teens for an experience shared by the whole family. This investment models a willingness to grapple with the same questions and cultivate the same spiritual life disciplines that you want for your children. Mount Hermon Family Camps are crafted to reach each family member, regardless of age or spiritual maturity, and make the next leg of your spiritual journey as memorable as possible!

Dear Friends,
My life was rocked this fall as three of my four teenagers flew the coop! My oldest daughter transferred to UC Berkeley as a junior, my oldest son headed for his freshman year at Calvin College in Michigan, and my younger daughter—still in high school—left to spend her senior year as a foreign exchange student in Stockholm, Sweden. This leaves me suddenly with one son at home, and asking… “what just happened?” Transitions are never easy. As parents we have the immense task of preparing our kids for whatever they’ll encounter around the next bend. We seek to provide opportunities that can help them acquire the skills, judgment, character and spiritual depth needed to navigate wisely through life. We shape, encourage, counsel and train. And then comes the day when we must wave goodbye, realizing we’ll be too far away to intervene—they’re on their own. Christ-centered camp experiences are simply one of the best investments parents can make to prepare their children for the challenges of life. Again and again, a week at camp has proven to be one of the most effective ways to present children and teens with the truth of the gospel, and to give them opportunities to respond in personal, life-changing ways.
mou nt h e rm on . org
I know that committing to make camp a priority each summer takes planning, intentionality, and sacrifice. From my vantage point in my nearly-empty nest, every cent was well spent. The peace I have as my children make their way in the world stems largely from my confidence in the spiritual foundations laid, and the character and relationships that were formed, at camp. Please choose to invest in your children and teens by making a week of youth or family camp possible this summer. Whether they’re moving from grade school to middle school, from high school to college, or from home to independence, the relationship with Jesus they’ve cultivated at camp will go with them where you can’t. Simply in Christ and for his glory,
Lisa Olson Director of Program Ministries

Camps for Children & Youth Mount Hermon isn’t a single place. It’s actually a family of camps at multiple locations, each with distinctive natural properties and personalities. We have camps for children and youth at Kidder Creek, our northern California wilderness location, near the Oregon border, and at our central California site in the redwood forest of the Santa Cruz Mountains near the Monterey Bay. Each camp shares a time-proven foundation on which God works to transform lives:
Christ-Centered, Interdenominational Programming
We major on the majors, not the minors. Campers learn about Jesus and how to take the next step in their relationship with Him. Distracting non-essentials are referred to the home church.
Counselor-Centered Philosophy
All teaching is presented in a relational context. Whether provided by us or coming with your church group, counselors are an essential voice in helping campers process their camp experience.
Bible-Centered Curriculum
The Bible provides the content for experiential learning that springs from the camp adventure. Teachable moments allow for unique lessons geared to the maturity and knowledge of each camper. Fun, thematic hooks make the lessons unforgettable. Drama, music, speakers, small group discussions, one-on-one’s with counselors, and individual time in the Word are all used to equip campers to keep growing on their own.
Mature Staff
200 college students and young adults serve in our camps each summer. Their passion for Christ and for kids is their foremost qualifier. Background checks, interviews and references ensure their character as role models for your camper. All receive one to three weeks of intensive training pertinent to their position before camp begins.
Creative Variety
Mount Hermon’s youth programs include traditional camp experiences that provide a variety of activities. Specialized programs focus on particular skills, wilderness experiences take campers away from the home base, and intensive discipleship programs for youth develop leadership skills and spiritual disciplines.
Safety
Safety for your children is our primary concern. We work closely with consultants, licensing agencies, vendors, and advisers to ensure best practices in medical care, emergency procedures, staff recruiting and hiring, activities, food service, and security.
Church Friendly
We see our ministry as a partnership with your church. Campers may register as individuals, or churches can register in group-blocks. Send your own counselors, use ours, or combine what’s best for you. (Discounts are available based on group size.)

Kidder Creek
(Transportation available most weeks from points in the Bay Area, including our Conference Center.)
Kidder Creek Mount Hermon’s Kidder Creek is a jewel in the crown of our properties! Located in northern California just south of the Oregon border, the camps nestle at the base of the breathtaking Marble Mountains. Just two hours north of Redding, this wilderness setting includes 367 acres of timberland, horse pastures, bubbling creeks and a fabulous recreation pond. Klamath River whitewater rafting, rock climbing on beautiful mountain cliffs, and natural waterfalls are all short day-trips from home base. Three distinct camp centers serve the Kidder Creek programs:
Ranch Camp
Ranch Camp is an intimate cluster of cabins, with its own dining and bathhouse facilities adjacent to the riding arena and saddling area. Horsemanship programs run here every week.
Timberline Camp
Timberline Camp is farther up the mountain, serving campers with twelve cabins and its own dining hall and bathhouse. Classic programs for Primary and Junior campers happen here, and this center serves as the base camp for Junior High and High School high adventure programs.
Outback
Outback camp sites are also abundant at Kidder Creek, enabling groups of various sizes to camp under the stars, under tarps, or in tents, as they enjoy the wilderness.

Timberline Classic
Step Into Nature’s Playground Timberline offers the best introduction to Kidder Creek for the young adventurer. Campers live in rustic cabins, and enjoy great meals at the Timberline Dining Hall. Days are filled with crazy games, competitions, outdoor activities, and target sports like archery and riflery. Daily water events at the pond include swimming, the water slide, fishing, and the aqua glide. Lessons are taught by loving counselors in small group discussions, and reinforced at fun daily campfire times. Friendships and memories to last a lifetime!

Ranch Camp Tack up. Saddle up. Ride on.
Immerse yourself in stunning mountain scenery from our instruction arena and enjoy trail rides in the Marble Mountains. Campers ‘breathe, eat, and sleep the program,’ companioning with horses and wranglers all day long. Introductory programs teach horse handling and riding skills through arena work and in classes in horse science. Horseback games and beginning vaulting (that’s gymnastics on a moving horse!), keep things interesting and fun. Daily devotions using the horses to illustrate scriptural truths complement the small group Bible studies. Skills rise to the next level for Junior High and High School campers. Whether novice or advanced, our staff helps campers develop their riding and horsemanship ability. Arena games, trail rides, vaulting and choreographed formation riding all keep campers challenged. Afternoons provide a break where campers can enjoy the pond and all the water activities—aqua glide, waterslide—and evenings are filled with skits and campfire fun. All Ranch Campers participate in an end-of-the-week Showdeo after the closing ceremonies.

Timberline–High Adventure Let base camp launch you into the wild
Your adventure begins and ends in the cabins at Timberline, but in the middle you’ll head out to sleep under the stars at our Klamath River base camp. You’ll enjoy whitewater rafting, pausing to leap from the cliffs into deep pools–how high will you go? Hike into a spectacular waterfall, try your technical climbing skill on real rock faces, and test your courage on the Kidder Creek high ropes course. Paintball and pond time at camp complete the experience. Lessons flow naturally from the many teachable moments embedded in the high adventure experience. Daily devotions, speakers, counselor-led discussions and individual time in the Word are built-in.
Boys and girls entering grades 6 through 12
Whitewater & Wilderness Skills for the adventurous life
All of the challenges described above are wrapped into a backpacking adventure. You’ll raft, climb, leap and hike while gaining valuable wilderness camping skills. Working with your team you will learn to set camp, prepare meals, build fires and navigate life in the high mountain meadows. For both High Adventure and Whitewater & Wilderness—come as an individual or with your youth group. Churches–your staff is encouraged to join us to build memories with your students. You can even provide your own counselors and/or speakers if you choose. (Group rates available.)

Santa Cruz Mountains Mount Hermon’s Santa Cruz Mountains camps are in what is indisputably one of the most beautiful localés on the planet. A short six miles from the scenic cliffs and white beaches of the Monterey Bay, the mountain setting includes spectacular coastal redwoods, a rare sand hills habitat, streams that run year-round and our own private waterfall. More than 400 acres of land are the setting for hikes to high vistas and low river valleys. The adjacent Henry Cowell State Park and other nearby attractions make this site unparalleled for mountain biking, hiking, sea kayaking—and, of course, surfing! Three separate camp centers offer youth camp programs in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Each has its own pool, dining hall, and recreation venues:
Redwood Camp
Redwood Camp at the base of Mount Hermon is home to towering redwoods surrounding the picturesque waterfall pouring into Bean Creek. Its spectacular tree house and various high adventure facilities provide non-stop fun. Rustic cabins are set a short walk from centrally located bathhouses, and campers dine under a redwood canopy on the lodge deck overlooking Zayante Creek. Classic programs for Primary and Juniors find a home at Redwood Camp, as do selected intensive programs for High School campers.
Ponderosa Lodge
Ponderosa Lodge at the top of the hill is our Junior High and High School program magnet. The unique sand hills support both the towering Ponderosa Pines and the famous banana slugs. Extensive skatepark, paintball course, and adventure facilities make this the place teenagers want to be. Twenty-four cabins include enclosed bathrooms and showers.
The Conference Center
The Conference Center is set between Redwood Camp and Ponderosa Lodge. Home to Mount Hermon’s renowned Family Camps, it also serves ‘Amata’—our intensive program for High School students. The Conference Center is known for its world-class Redwood Canopy Tour, awesome fieldhouse/gymansium complex, adventure courses and so much more.

While Primary and Junior programs run simultaneously, they are two unique programs with separate activities, schedules and curriculum designed for each age group. A great introduction to the world of camping adventure, Redwood Camp allows small groups of campers to enjoy a variety of counselor-led activities. Nature hikes, arts & crafts, the treehouse, cabin challenges, and target sports like slingshots, archery and BB guns are part of the adventure for all campers. Everyone gets wet, too! A swimming pool with curvy slide and the beaches on Bean Creek, provide great times of refreshment.

Age-appropriate high adventures such as the flying squirrel for Primary campers, and the zipline and drop swing for Juniors are there to challenge and be conquered. Skateboarding, walks to the Fountain and other options make each day unique. At Victory Circle the group enjoys community singing and hilarious skits, meaningful dramas, campfires, s’mores and sharing times. These experiences, along with small group Bible lessons, time alone with God, and teachable moments, make for a rich time of spiritual growth.

Awesome options you can expect when you come to Ponderosa: surfing, kayaking, paintball, mountain bikes, zipline, climbing wall, high ropes, swimming and diving pool, basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, disc golf, mountain scooters, crafts, laser tag, skate park and half-pipe. Dramas that address real life issues, outrageous theme skits, games and competition, stimulating small groups, personal quiet times and one-on-one talks with your counselor will make your experience unforgettable.

Family Camp
For those who don’t want to just SEND their kids to camp, but want to share the experience—Mount Hermon Family Camps are the best thing going! Our flagship program for generations, Family Camp has something for everyone:
Biblical Teaching for All Ages
World class Bible teachers and seminar leaders bring deep insights and practical wisdom for today’s families. A shared curriculum tailored for campers age 3 to 100 encourages spiritual dialogue that doesn’t happen by chance.
Time Together
Inter-generational events blend fun and memories worth sharing. Activities are designed to build relationships between family members! Campfires with songs and skits, train rides, shared worship, themed dinners, tournaments and family adventures are around every bend.
Time Apart
Amazing programs with outstanding counselors for the children and teenagers, and options for the adults are built into the schedule each day. Kids adventures include Bible lessons, songs, worship, crafts, games, activities and skits. Teens get crazy with a great band and speaker. Adults can focus on worship and teaching without distraction, (or take a walk or a nap).
Unparalleled Recreation
A tandem challenge course 70’ up in the Sequoias, indoor and outdoor climbing, mountain biking, sea kayaking, swimming, crafts, boating, archery, sports, the incomparable Redwood Canopy Tour, and a brand new challenge course for elementary-aged kids all beckon you to family camp.
Spectacular Environment
The coastal redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains are one of the world’s most rare, precious and beautiful ecosystems. Meandering creeks lead to an impressive waterfall. Trails and ziplines provide access to immerse yourself in the rain forest. A mere six miles from the white sand beaches and cliffs overlooking the Monterey Bay, just being here will refresh your soul!
Dedicated Faculty & Staff
Not one, but two incredible speakers each week, plus pastors and scholarsin-residence, seminar teachers and awesome worship leaders rub elbows with the guests. In addition, dozens of carefully selected, screened and trained young adults serve as counselors, activity instructors, and service providers in every ministry zone.
Affordability
Housing and meal plans are available to provide an experience that meets your needs and budget. If it’s still a challenge, let us know. Caring donors make it possible for dozens of families to come every year.
Creature Comforts
The best ‘camp food’ on the planet is served buffet-style so that we can provide options to accommodate every diet, palate, appetite and picky eater. Espresso drinks at the coffee cart, plus shakes, hand-dipped ice cream and other specialties are always available. Babysitting lets you spend quality time with each of your kids. Sometimes there’s even a masseuse to be found!
Unique to Mount Hermon
Jack Pearson, our beloved Troubadour, plays banjo, nose flute, and fiddle to beat the band. The pancake flip is worth the hike to the ridge. The steam train through the redwoods drops you off at the one-and-only Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Life coaching and pastoral counseling available by appointment. Vespers, organ concerts, a comprehensive Christian Book Shop, homemade donuts—we could go on!
