Wagon Train is an unforgettable adventure for kids aged 8-11, set in the exciting Old West! Campers will sleep in covered wagons, enjoy thrilling activities like zip lining over our pond, archery, BB guns, kayaking, rappelling at Chipmunk Rock, exploring Fort Logan (our very own three-story island fort), and of course, an immersive game of D&G tag. Campers can also make crafts, visit the Trading Post, wander through our tree house, and compete in camp-wide recreation games.
But Wagon Train is about more than fun—it’s a chance to grow in faith and build gospel foundations for life. Through engaging skits, campfire worship, and compelling teaching, campers will learn Biblical truths to transform their lives. Wagon Train creates an atmosphere where kids can be kids while making memories to last a lifetime.

God’s Providence – The doctrine that comforts and grows our trust in God
Theme Breakdown
How do we deal with suffering? How do we cope with tragedy? When people or things promise much yet deliver nothing, how do we endure moments we realize that we’ve believed lies?
The story of Joseph offers a strong and safe foundation for answering questions like these. It shows us just how “in control” God really is. In times of confusion, struggle and despair we can see that God is still at working in and through all things. This should be the most comforting piece of knowledge for those who love God. Believers understand that whatever was meant as evil God will cause to work for the good of those who love Him and who He calls.
We see in Genesis 50:20 Joseph make the definitive statement “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for Good…”. As we study the story of Joseph, we hope that students would be able to trust in a God who is not only with us in our affliction but uses it for our good and His glory.

Theme Verse
“But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You planned evil against me; God planned it for good to bring about the present result—the survival of many people. Therefore, don’t be afraid. I will take care of you and your children.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.”

IMPORTANT
Some older mapping services will suggest you take the 245. It is a curvy, winding road that will take you at least an additional hour. DO NOT take 245!

We want camp to be accessible to everyone! To help make this possible, Hume can accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and vegetarian diets. Because of the high cost of providing for special dietary needs, there is an extra surcharge for these special diets. Please refer to our Special Diet Policy for more information.
