Amazing place! The staff are nice to the kids. I camped at Hume SD and Hume Lake, all in all, five years. They are really intentional about getting kids to meet God. You can feel the presence everywhere here! My favorite place in the whole world! I'd love if they had key cards to lock the dorms, however. I'd also appreciate if they turned the sound way down in the chapel. I love the chapels and rec chapels, but the sound is dangerously up there all week. Otherwise, don't change anything, Hume! I miss Hume SD, that one is amazing as well. Everyone would love an easier and safer way to get up to Hume, especially in the winter time and for those who have buses full of kids. However, they don't like any mention of the Holy Spirit and His works. Just know that. They are wonderful in teaching the Gospel, but you will probably need to go to their Wildwood program or another place if you believe in Full Gospel or want to go deeper.

If you or your child wants to work there I would tell them to not step foot in that place. It’s nothing like it used to be.

I was staying at the Hume Lake State Campground, but went to the Hume Lake Christian Camp to rent a Kayak. The equipment was less than satisfactory and I paid $40.00 to rent for one hour. No one takes you to the kayak and helps you get on the water - they stay behind the counter at the boathouse. You are asked to return your paddle to a specific area to the side of the boathouse. and no one is at shore to help you drag the kayak back in. The single kayak was built for a young child attending the camp, NOT an adult. When I returned to the boathouse from my paddle, the polite young teen asked me how it was on the lake. My response was "the lake is beautiful, but the equipment was less than satisfactory". He apologized, and agreed that the equipment was old and made to accommodate children at the camp. I replied that it was feedback and perhaps he might pass the comments on to the management. Bring your own kayak!

The Hume Lake Christian Camp area is very nice and well kept. Restrooms are very clean. There is a boat house where people can rent paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, and rowboats. The paddleboard rental is $40/hour which is quite expensive. Most places I go to charge ~$25/hr. In addition, the boat house operators were not helpful in giving my friends tips on paddleboarding (it was their first time) nor did they have a secure place for us to store our valuables. Other places I've been to were much more helpful on these two aspects.Another plus, there's an ice cream shop and nice lawn area to relax in right next to the boat rentals. The downside is there isn't much else to do there besides what I've already mentioned if you are not there to camp or participate in a retreat. Still, it's really great there is a lake in the park and it's available for public use. We spent about 1.5-2 hours there.

Our family took a day trip out to this camp with the hopes of renting a couple kayaks and spending the afternoon on the lake. We were floored when we saw the prices of the rentals. It was $40 per hour for a 1-2 person kayak and $75 an hour for a small motor boat. The boats were dirty and not even well kept. It was extremely disappointing, even our kids could not believe the price.

This is genuinely the best week of my year every single year. Look forward to it every summer. Love Hume so much. As I’m writing this review I’m actually on the bus on the way to Hume. I’ve met some of my best friends here at camp and it’s been one of the most influential things in growing in my faith and relationship with the lord. Love this place so much. One of my top 3 places in the whole world. And don’t forget. DYNAMOS RULE (Hume 2022 reference)

Our family have been enjoying Hume Lake since 1998. We chaperoned our son’s 6th grade class trip to Hume Lake Christian camps and me, my husband and 6th grader son loved it immensely. We went with our son’s Christian private school. We’ve also enjoyed spending many beautiful summer day trips to Sandy Cove, and have always had a great time with family and friends. However, Saturday July 15th was very different. First off the parking lot was extremely full so my family had to park 2 cars about 1/2 mile away. That was ok but as the day progressed we noticed very rude people popping up everywhere. Many people were fishing in the designated swimming area of the beach. There were probably a hundred people, many kids and more enjoying the water including our 2,3 and 5 year old grandchildren. Myself and 3 other families tried to warn them of the dangers of possibly hooking someone in the face or body. To no avail because the fishermen were extremely rude and would not move. All of us even pointed out the sign posted on the beach designating swimming and fishing areas. Also people had several unleashed dogs running around and pooping near waters edge. On top of that bbq’s we’re being lit. Meanwhile NO Rangers or law enforcement anywhere in sight. We had alot of fun but those things added to the danger for families enjoying the beach, people breaking rules all day plus rowdy people toppled over the metal signage about fishing north of Sandy Cove. The agency who governs Hume Lake needs to be much more diligent about patrolling Sandy Cove. Thank you kindly. P.S. —although Marijuana is legal in California it should not be allowed to flow crazy in the air at a public mountain lake beach where hundreds of small children play. DO BETTER HUME!!

This is such an amazing camp! Each year, the Hume staff pick out a new, fun theme to base a week-long Bible lesson about. With a different guest speaker each week, students can hear the word of God in amazing ways.There are many camps offered throughout the year, such as Wagon Train (elementary school summer camp), Meadow Ranch (middle school summer camp), Ponderosa (high school summer camp), Wildwood, a winter camp, several retreats throughout the year for everyone, and more. Each camp focuses on a specific age group, so lessons and sermons are appropriately streamlined to have the greatest effect on the types of people attending the camps.For Ponderosa and Meadow Ranch, you go to chapel twice a day, once in the morning, and once in the evening. A typical day at Ponderosa looks like this:-Breakfast (7:45-8:45am)-Chapel (9-10:40am)-Cabin Time (10:45-11am)-Recreation (11-12:30pm)-Lunch (12:30-1:30pm)-Free time (After lunch-5:30/6:30pm, depending on the day)-Dinner (5:00/6:00-6:45/7:45, depending on the day)-Chapel (8:00pm, or after an event, depending on the day)-Free time after chapel-Lights out (11:30pm)For each camp, there are so many fun things to do. Campers can rent kayaks, canoes, or paddleboards for $10 and hour; they can play paintball or complete a high ropes course for $20 apiece; they can try archery or an escape room for $10 apiece; and so much more. For free, students can play vollyball, basketball, swim in the lake or pool, experience the blob, swing on Noah's Nightmare (a ring on a long string that campers can swing on to launch themselves into the Meadow Ranch pond), play spikeball, go hiking, and more!The food at Hume is pretty good, it is different for every meal. Some potential breakfast meals include pancakes and biscuits and gravy. Some lunches include greek food (pita bread, cucumbers, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, and chicken...this is personally my favorite meal), hamburgers, and pizza. Some dinners include steak, pulled pork sandwiches, and pasta. Each meal is served in a buffet style, and you can get fresh fruit with every meal. For breakfast, there is a greater selection of fruit in the buffet, and for lunch and dinners, there is a salad bar. There are also special meals that someone can pay a little extra for and request, for those with dietary restrictions.Overall, this is a truly special and fantastic camp, and I could not recommend it enough for everyone to reestablish their faith in Christ!

One of the best places on Earth, you make a bunch of new friends and can get a lot closer to God. The lake is beautiful and there is a variety of things you can do on it, hey, I've even seen some guys wind sailing somehow.
