Hume Lake

Students will get away from everyday distractions, dive deep into God's Word, be  discipled by leaders, and have a ton of fun as they seek to follow Jesus with their whole heart. This trip will be available to students entering 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th grade in fall of 2026 and for students graduating from the 12th grade in May/June 2026 (Class of 2026).

Get ready for an amazing week!

• What link should I share with others who want to register a camper? https://coasthills.church/hume
  
  
• Do I have to register with Coast Hills? Yes. If you want to be part of the Coast Hills cabins/groups and ride our buses, your registration must be done through Coast Hills. Please do not register directly through Hume Lake. Registrations made directly through Hume will not be affiliated with Coast Hills.
  
  
• How can I confirm my student is signed up for camp with the $300 deposit? You will receive a confirmation email verifying that the deposit of $300 has been paid. (This email often is routed to spam boxes). Under your student’s profile in GoMethod, you will see HUME listed under “Active Trips” with the amount of money that has been paid.
  
  
• Waitlists: Once the spots are filled, we will start a waitlist. At that time, information will be provided on our Hume Lake (https://coasthills.church/hume) page on how to secure a spot on the waitlist.
  
  
• What platform do we use for registration and how can I prepare in advance of the registration launch? We use GoMethod for our Hume Summer Camp registration process. If you have registered for Hume Summer Camp through Coast Hills in 2023 – 2025, you have already set up an account.
  • If you do not have an account yet, you can create one before registrationopens or you can create one at the time of registration. Parents and guardians registering minors for events are required to create an account, even if the parent or guardian is not attending the event.

• EMAILS: Will the guardian account receive emails sent through GoMethod? Guardian accounts are required for participants under the age of 18. Guardians should be a parent or legal guardian as they are required to sign documents for events. Guardian accounts have full access to the same dashboard the minor sees. Guardians can click on a minor's name to see who has been accepted on the trip and exactly where the minor is in the application process. Also, guardians can complete requirements that minors may not be able to, for example, signing a legal document that a minor can't because they are underage.
  • Guardians do not automatically receive emails about changes to an event. If a minor has their own email address, their guardian should log in to their account and check for updates often.
    
    
• What can I do to make sure I receive any updates, packing lists, etc? Make sure your email address is correct in GoMethod! We will also be adding information to our main Hume Page (https://coasthills.church/hume).
  • NOTE: If you inputted your child’s email when registering, please make sure to also check your child’s email address for communications. *Some emails may get routed to spam.
    
    
• How far is Hume: Hume, California: ~300 miles from Coast Hills. Students are transported in nice buses (and each bus has a bathroom). We make a lunch stop along the way.
  
  
• What is the departure time on June 28th? Parents and students need to arrive at Coast Hills early Sunday morning (typically around 8am). We will send you information closer to departure date with the exact time and check-in process.
  
  
• What is the return time on July 4th? There are many factors that play into what time our students will be back in Aliso (traffic being one of them). Generally campers arrive late afternoon between 2pm and 5pm. Updates will be sent out to parents.
  
  
• Hume Lake Medical Release Forms:   Hume Lake has a specific set of online forms that include Hume Lake Medical forms and other necessary information. They may also have you sign up for some of the activities ahead of time. Coast Hills also medical release/behavior contract form that you will need to download from your registration page. You can upload signed forms to your GoMethod account, you can email signed forms back to Karen@coasthills.church or you can bring them to Coast Hills.

Rooms/locations:

• Are the Middle School and High School Students in the same location? Hume Lake separates the middle school and the high school students. Middle school students cannot room with high schoolers or visa versa
  
  
• Room Assignments: Our amazing team of leaders spend many hours in prayer and preparing for camp. The size of the cabins that Hume assigns to Coast Hills dictates how many students are in each cabin. Cabins are generally separated by grade level and by gender.

 
 
Scholarships/”camperships”

• Applying for Hume Lake Scholarships/Camperships: Once registered, you will receive an email from Hume Lake a few days later to complete their online medical and necessary information. In that email, there is a section to request a ‘campership’ (which is their version of a scholarship) and a questionnaire to complete. They may not tell us how much you receive until about 30 days out from the trip.
  
  
• Fundraising: After the deposit is paid, you will see a Personal Trip URL. Use this link to share with family and friends to contribute directly to your student. Note: Direct contributions to a specific student are not tax-deductible.
  
  
• Does Coast Hills provide any scholarship funds? Each year the amount of money available for scholarships varies. After you have completed Hume Lake’s “campership” form, please let Karen (Karen@coasthills.church) know that you have submitted the request to Hume. She will also make note to add your name to an inquiry list for Coast Hills scholarships.
