Camper Medication at Arrival
You can locate your church’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 church 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.
Camper Medication at Departure
Your group’s medications will need to be picked up by a group admin at the medication station at breakfast on the last day. We are not able to mail medication left behind to the churches or individuals. If any medications are left behind, the Health Center will call the group leader to arrange for them to be picked up.
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 a fever and other contagious symptoms. If a camper is found to have a fever in excess of 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 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 churches to have an additional vehicle on site for the medical transportation of campers in non-emergency situations or due to illness.
Check-In at Hume
This is for church administrators, pastors, or leaders who will have the required paperwork, medications, and payment for the church.
When you arrive, follow the signs for Check-in.
Check-in Location: The Welcome Center
Check-in Begins: 4:00 PM
Winter Driving & Snow Chains
When driving in the mountains with any icy or snowy conditions, you are required to carry chains or cables in your vehicle at all times. There are several ways up to Hume SoCal which means snow chains may be required to be installed on one highway and not the other, so you should always carry chains in your vehicle during the winter months, even if your car has snow tires. You may be subject to a ticket and can be denied passage without chains in your vehicle.
R1 Chain Control Sign
State law requires ALL vehicles (including 4WD and AWD) to carry tire chains or cables when entering chain-control zones. All vehicles must have chains or cables that fit properly and are in good repair. Signs will be posted along the road indicating the type of requirement (R1, R2, R3). Please pay attention as these indicate when you need to install the chains on your vehicle.
Caltrans provides this Winter Driving Guide to make your winter driving experience safe and pleasant. If you’ve never driven in winter weather before, be sure to check this out and share it with your drivers.
If you are chartering a bus, we highly recommend that you make them aware of these requirements and check that they have chains for their vehicles and know how to use them before you travel.
Map and Directions
When you arrive, follow signs for Church Check-In. Our staff will help direct you.

Church Resources and Training
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.
We believe the counselors that you bring with your church 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.

About the Winter Camp Theme
Spiritual Direction
This winter, we will walk through 1 John 4:7-12 to discover the truth about love. In a world that has distorted what love truly means, we look to Scripture for the foundational definition of love.
Creative Direction
For this winter camp season, our creative theme title is called Agapolis. Through an Ancient Greek animation, we will communicate the story of Biblical love; God is the author of love who demonstrated His love for us through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
This perfect, sacrificial, and unconditional love is called Agape love. In our animated story, the God of love, Agape, creates Agapolis as a place for His love to flourish. Unfortunately, His love is rejected and forgotten until one character questions the way the citizens of Agapolis have selfishly distorted the love of Agape.
Theme Overview
As we enter into the winter season, we tend to be more attuned to spreading good tidings of great joy, peace, hope, and love. While we might say and hear these words more often during this time of year, do we understand the truth behind them?
This winter camp season, we are eager to walk students through 1 John 4:7-12 in order to discover the truth about love. In a world that has distorted what love truly means, we look to Scripture for the foundational definition of love. While the world has reduced the definition of love to mediocre acceptance, casual preference, and even based on conditions, the love of God is infinite, unfathomable, and unconditional. The reality is that God Himself is love.
When we believe and receive the truth of God’s love for us through Jesus, we are compelled to love God and respond in obedience to His Word. By abiding in God’s love for us, we learn how to love others with grace and truth. Our hope this winter is that students learn the truth about the joy, peace, hope, and love that can only come through the saving grace of God through Jesus Christ.
Theme Verse
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.”
