Joshua - Hume Christian Camps

Due to current COVID restrictions and uncertainty of future restrictions, it is with heavy hearts that we have made the decision to cancel the Joshua Wilderness Institute for the 2020-21 academic year. We studied every viable option, but were unable to develop a program that could provide the needed value, experience, and excellence befitting Joshua.

Obviously, this is very disappointing news to the students, their families, and the Joshua staff. Please pray for the Joshua Wilderness Institute as we shut things down, while at the same time prepare as best we can for the 2021-22 academic year. We are fully committed to Joshua and look forward to next year!

Preview days

Stay in a dorm with current students, attend classes with them, participate in activities, hear the evening speaker and experience authentic Joshua life…

Missions

While classroom instruction offers many obvious benefits, most of the fundamental aspects of practical wisdom cannot be as effectively taught as they can be caught…

Community

Community is one of many Joshua “classrooms.” Living with an intentionally diverse group of people teaches patience, acceptance, and conflict resolution—which leads to family.

What is the Joshua Wilderness Institute?

Those Who Have Gone Before…

“Joshua is an incredible opportunity to dig deep in your own faith and to understand the story of the Bible from the beginning to the end and how it’s always been a story of redemption for us.”

“After my last year here, I have experienced God in a profound way, and been loved by everyone here."

“Coming to Joshua and learning what living life with Jesus looks like and learning who God is was a priceless experience.”

"Joshua is a time for you to get past yourself and figure out who God is creating you to be. To bring different struggles to light, to break you down in ways you've never thought of, and to bring you back to the feet of Jesus."

"In Joshua, God meets you where you are and changes your very heart."

“In Joshua I really started to understand how much grace God has given us and how we should be willing to do that with other people as well.”

"Joshua is the opportunity to set aside a year of your life for the sake of growing closer to Christ and learn how to glorify Him in every area of your life."
