High School Summer Camp
FOREST HOME HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER CAMP
JUNE 9-14, 2024
Summer Camp at Forest Home is ALMOST HERE! Forest Home is located in the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains. It is an experience designed to challenge, encourage, and engage students in high school. Each activity during the week is purposefully planned to get them out of their everyday routines and challenge them into something more significant, more adventurous, and more intentional.
Biblical teaching, creative and wild recreation, a beautiful location, deep discussions, authentic worship, and loads of FUN!
The infamous Mud Bowl, the Giant Swing, kayaking, swimming, zip lines, sand volleyball, blobbing, laser tag, zorbing, campfires, and more!
Don't miss out on Summer Camp this year! You’ll find all the information you need below.
HEALTH SCREENINGS
Saturday, June 8 / anytime between 10am-12noon
We are requiring that each camper complete a mandatory Health Screen. Without this screening, students will not be allowed to attend camp. The Bridge offers a complimentary screening the Saturday prior to departure where we will ask a few simple questions to ensure your student shows no sign of illness.
Please do not send a child to the Health Screening with a fever, flu-like or Covid symptoms, they will not be allowed to attend camp. If your student is ill, give us a call to let us know.
Forest Home does not require Covid testing or proof of vaccination.

What about spending money?
Forest Home is cashless and will no longer accept cash for retail purchases. Forest Home will only accept credit/debit cards or Forest Home eGift Cards for all retail purchases while at camp. For information on eGift Cards and how to purchase/load them, please see the link below.
Can I send letters/packages to my camper?
Due to historically slow delivery time from the post office to camp, we would suggest not mailing letters/packages to camp.
Instead, maybe pack any letters, cards, or packages in your camper’s suitcase for them to find once they arrive at camp!
What if I need to pick my camper up early or bring them up late?
If for any reason, you are bringing your camper up late or picking them up early, you will need to notify our camp coordinator, Ally Miller at Ally@thebridgebiblechurch.com as soon as possible. It will severely delay our departure or return if we do not know of these special circumstances in advance.
What should I pack?
Bible, notebook, pen/pencil, flashlight, sleeping bag, pillow, towel for swimming and showering, toiletries, warm and cool clothes, light jacket, modest one-piece swimsuit (no tankinis), water bottle.
How many meals are provided?
Forest Home provides dinner the day of arrival, all meals each full day, and breakfast the day of departure.
