Our photographers work hard to make sure they capture how much fun your children are having at camp! We use Waldo Photos which offers optional facial recognition to match your camper’s face to photos in our album, which then sends directly to your phone.

Roommates

Camp is better with friends! Request specific friends to be in your cabin on your camper's application. While we try to honor roommate requests, we cannot guarantee all requests will be met. All roommate requests must be mutual. Give us a call if you have immediate questions!

Time in God’s Word

Chapels

Every day campers have the opportunity to sing, discover, and learn together of Christ in our chapel times both in the morning and in the evening. Counselors and summer staff lead our campers in song praising the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness in fun-filled and revenant worship songs. At His Hill Ranch Camp, our desire is to lead all campers to Christ as the source of eternal life and the means for the Christian life through verse by verse teaching by our resident staff team.

During our chapel times, we specifically want to devote time to memorizing God’s word, as the Psalmist writes, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” (Psalm 119:11). These verses are prayerfully chosen, not to be another “good thing” we do, but that His word would remind us of that truth in all our day by day activities.

Devotions

Every morning and evening each cabin will open God’s word together and learn of Christ through counselor led devotions. The purpose of these times is to know Christ in His word in a deeper way while giving an opportunity to the campers to share their joys and struggles in their personal lives. Each counselor is encouraged to also share truth through God’s word that has been specifically transformative in their personal lives.

Health & Safety

Camp Health Officer

Our Camp Health Officer (CHO) must be a physician, RN, LVN, or a person with an American Red Cross EMR certificate or its equivalent. The CHO is on call 24 hours a day for all medical needs: first aid or medicinal. As campers may be discouraged due to injury, sickness, or homesickness, the CHO will spend significant time encouraging campers to trust Christ in where He has them.

Medication collection and distribution

Med distribution schedule must be specified during the online registration. The camp health officer will be available to collect all medications during Sunday’s registration.

Arrival

Registration begins promptly at 6:00 PM. Upon arrival, you will be greeted in your car by our staff who will complete your campers check in, help with luggage, and assist in directing you to your child's cabin. Feel free to see our nurse for medication drop off and our mail bins for mail distribution throughout the week, both located under the Ark overhang.

While Here

From Sunday through Friday we load up our schedule with events and activities that will create awesome moments and memories while here at camp. Each day consists of two chapel times, two cabin devotion times, three activities, snack & swim, a camp-wide game, and a themed skit from the special activity team. Our prayer is that campers will see Christ in everything we do—whether it be cabin devotions, singing in chapel, or encouraging someone up the climbing wall for the first time.

Departure

Closing ceremonies are held in our gym (just across from the horse barn) at 7:00pm on Friday. The program is approximately 30 minutes long. You will hear about the week of camp from our Camp Director, watch a short slideshow of the week, have the opportunity to buy souvenirs, check lost & found, get snack bar refund (as desired), and interact with your child's counselor(s). After reuniting with your camper you'll head up to camp to pick up their luggage. Each cabin will have a designated area for luggage retrieval.
