Camper Medication
You can locate your group’s Medication Administration Record (MAR) from your Online Account. This is a list of medications you should expect to collect. Please collect ALL medications, vitamins and supplements, except epi-pens, rescue inhalers & diabetic supplies. (Don’t worry if it’s not listed on the MAR, we can add it at camp!) All medication needs to be in its original container & in a Ziploc bag. Write your school name & each student’s name in Sharpie on the bag. You’ll turn medications into our health center staff at check-in when you arrive, so please collect medications before campers load up into vehicles.
Check-In at Hume
This is for school administrators, teachers, or leaders who will have the required paperwork, medications, and payment for the school.

Park Entrance Pass
Print and distribute one pass for each vehicle coming to camp. This pass is provided to prevent confusion when passing through the Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park on your way to Hume. Present this at the park entrance booth to avoid being charged the park visiting fee. Please note that this is not a pass for access to visit the National Park. It is ONLY to pass through the park to get to Hume Lake. It only allows a vehicle to drive non-stop through the 4 miles of the park on your way to Hume Lake Christian Camps.

Counselor Resources and Training
We believe the counselors that you bring with your school are a key part of this ministry. We’ve created these resources for them to learn about their responsibilities as counselors. Please have them read this Counselor Guidebook carefully before coming to camp.

At Hume, we care about providing the highest level of healthcare to our campers and staff. Check out this important info for everything you need to know about health and safety while at camp.
Policy for children of counselors/youth leaders at Hume (Cabins and Chapel)
At Hume, we desire to support the ministry of the local church, Christian schools, and their leaders to the fullest extent possible. Youth leaders, in particular, are some of our most valued partners. Our ministry has a lasting impact because of the countless number of youth pastors, leaders, and volunteers who dedicate their time, finances, and even their families to the ministry. We recognize that doing ministry is often something that the entire family is involved in. To that end, we want to be a support to youth leaders who are counseling at camp and want to bring their spouses and children to experience a week/weekend at Hume as well.
If you are able to bring your family to Hume, and they are staying in a lodge, rented cabin, or just visiting for the day, we have just a couple of guidelines we ask you to follow.
- Only youth counselors and campers who are registered for the week/weekend event are allowed to sleep in our youth cabins. Practically, this means no infants or children of the youth leader or counselor of that cabin are allowed to sleep overnight in the cabin.
- Throughout the event there are numerous opportunities for families of youth leaders to interact with their students. These can include church/school breakouts, free time, recreation, meals, evening activities, and many more. However, one of our core values is to provide a distraction-free environment for the students to worship, engage in solid biblical teaching, and respond to the Lord. Understanding the difficulty of creating an environment like this with teenagers, we ask that infants and small children of youth leaders not attend the main chapel sessions.
Again, our desire is that students attending a camp or retreat at Hume are provided a safe, distraction-free environment for them to be challenged by the Lord. Please help us do that by following these two guidelines.
Sick Camper Policy
Campers who feel ill while at camp and are brought to the health center by their youth leader will be evaluated for fever and other contagious symptoms. If a camper is found to have a fever above 100.4 and have potentially contagious symptoms, they will be isolated at the health center until the fever is gone for 24 hours without any anti-fever medication in their system and their symptoms are improved. If symptoms persist or the temperature goes above 102, then arrangements will need to be made to have the camper picked up from camp by a parent or guardian in the shortest time frame possible. If the 24-hour isolation period would exceed the time remaining in camp, a parent or guardian will be responsible for the pick up of the camper in the shortest time frame possible.
Sick Camper Transportation
It is imperative that parents are aware of this policy and are ready to pick up their camper in the case where they become sick and potentially contagious. Hume does not recommend transporting sick campers home in the same bus or vehicle that is being used to transport healthy students. In the event of serious injury or a life-threatening emergency, Hume will assist with the transportation of campers, but we strongly urge all schools to have an additional vehicle on site for the medical transportation of campers in non-emergency situations or due to illness.
