Mount Hermon Summer 2014

y a l P & h t u o Y amily F

Seriously THOUGH...

Dear Friends, At Mount Hermon we are serious about many things. We are serious about safety, for example. We strive to make sure that our guests are physically, emotionally and spiritually safe in every situation at camp.

We are serious about exceeding expectations, too. We want to provide food, facilities, speakers and recreation that blow your mind. We want you to go home asking, “How do they consistently deliver above and beyond our wildest dreams?” Seriously.

We are also serious about our mission. We seek to create places and experiences that draw each guest one step closer to Jesus. We take this so seriously that it drives our thoughts, prayers, conversations, plans and work for months prior to the start of camp. In fact, we started planning for this summer last spring. Can’t get much more serious than that.

To accomplish our mission we have discovered that being serious about FUN is of paramount importance. Play, in fact, is a very serious component of all Mount Hermon experiences. The natural, childlike inclination to engage in enjoyable activities with people we care about, just for the fun of it, is an expression of joy. When we inject the fun with teachable moments, the games with object lessons, and the play with opportunities for self-discovery…all kinds of serious things happen. Truth is indelibly cemented in memory, decisions are marked with milestones, what was in the head moves to the heart…all because we had some ridiculous fun with it.

Whether this is the year you send your kids to a youth camp, or bring your kids to a family camp, (or both), you should know that we are going to have some serious fun. Be prepared to splash with otters, swing from trees, dance on horses, ride on trains or skateboards or bikes. We are WORKing to make sure that you don’t, for one week, anyway. We want you to come and PLAY!

Seriously,

Lisa Olson Director of Program Ministries & Play

02 YOUTH CAMP INTRODUCTION

Two awesome locations... No, seriously awesome. Like they were meant-and-built-for-campers-to-engage-withGod kind of awesome. You can attend Kidder Creek, our northern California location, or in the Santa Cruz Mountains in central California. Regardless of which location works best for you, know that each program is built on a foundation where God works to transform lives.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.

“Camp was never like this when I was a kid...” Right?! How many places offer whitewater rafting, paintball, horses, crazy fun programs, zip lines, heated pools and high ropes courses? Well, one that we can think of anyway. (Hint: us) Why do we offer so much variety? Variety in experiences offer different things to different students allowing them to explore skill sets and spiritual disciplines that will stick well beyond the camp week.

BEST-OF-THE-BEST STAFF.

Every year we get hundreds and hundreds of applications from

a camp experience is so much more than one week. It’s a major part of any child’s journey and we only want the best guides.

Santa Cruz

Mount Hermon’s Santa Cruz Mountains camps are in what is indisputably one of the most beautiful locales 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.

It’s time. You have earned it. You now have school figured out. You have the overnight stay at a friend’s house figured out. Now it’s time for you to move to the big leagues. It’s time for you to go to CAMP, baby! Everything you’ve ever imagined your camp adventure could be and more will happen this week. Picture this, you get to stay in a cool rustic cabin with a group of crazy new friends and a super rad counselor. During this week (that will go by too fast, we promise) you get to do a bunch of stuff that your mom probably doesn’t let you do at home, like explore archery and riflery (yes, like shoot things), slide down a water slide, conquer the aqua tower in the pond, go fishing, play crazy games, sing (or yell) at the top of your lungs, climb around in our ropes course, and more! Not only that, but you’ll get to hang with your counselor who will teach you new things about the Bible and chill at a campfire. Seriously, don’t know how it gets any better than that.

The adventure doesn’t just stop at the river. Just like all of the programs, you’ll hang out with some crazy cool counselors who will use your adventures and time alone in the Word to show you how your adventure with God can and does continue after camp.

It’s a bucket lister’s dream week... and more adventure than most people have in a lifetime.

Don’t know nothing ‘bout a horse? Don’t worry about it. Our wranglers have been on these trails a few times and will teach you everything you need to know to ride and care for your horse.

You’ll work in the arena, ride a trail or two and even learn a little horse science. Are you a youngin’ but already know stuff about horses? That’s great, too! Our wranglers know how to help take your skills to the next level.

During this week (that will go by too fast, we promise) you get to do a bunch of stuff that your mom probably doesn’t let you do at home: like explore archery, BB Guns, and sling shots (yes, like shoot things), slide down a water slide, jump off a diving board, leap off the Geronimo Jump, conquer the flying squirrel, play crazy games, sing (or yell) at the top of your lungs during Victory Circle, climb around in our ropes course, laugh hysterically at Victory Circle and more! Not only that, but you’ll get to hang with your counselor who will teach you new things about the Bible and be with you all day to help you explore this amazing world God created.

“No one is going to believe this at home.” Exactly. No one will be able to truly understand the awesomeness that you experience at a week at Ponderosa Lodge unless they are right there with you. (In that case, you should probably bring a friend so they can validate how awesome it was.)

No, for reals. Every day is packed with epic event after epic event. Team competitions become legendary status, Crazy Dance Night creates a year’s worth of memories, Night games produce stories that are told over and over, and Forum... oh, the Forum. It’s the highlight of every day and will probably become the highlight of your entire week.

But there’s so much more to your time at Ponderosa than just the stuff. We have scoured the globe for the coolest, craziest, most passionate about God college students to hang out with you that we could find. These crazy people can not wait for you! There’s so much to show you when you are here and so much to talk about. This entire week is designed for you to have experiences, memories, relationships and adventures that will propel you in your walk with Christ far beyond the camp week and full steam into the rest of your life.

When Saturday quickly approaches, it will feel like you just got here and you’ll be asking yourself, “Wait. Did that just happen?!”

Yes, yes it did. And it was awesome.

STUFF TO MAKE SURE YOUR MOM KNOWS ABOUT CAMP • Intentional program and activity designed for Jr. High and High School students • Students plug into God’s Word and God’s people • Opportunities to foster and promote healthy relationships across all ages • Exclusive activities like surfing, kayaking, paintball, laser tag, skate park, half pipe and more!
