HUme lake Summer Camp 2026
LET'S GO TOGETHER!
Sunday June 21 - Saturday June 27, 2026!
Read below to get all the details for Hume Lake Summer Camp 2026.
Dear Parents,
We are excited to announce that Summer Camp 2026 registration has officially opened!
Sunday June 21 - Saturday June 27, 2026, we will be heading up into the internet-free wilderness of Hume Lake Christian Camp for students to unplug from their normal surroundings (and distractions) and have a dedicated space and time to worship together, build team unity, and come back to their cabins to process what God is teaching them each day. It’s incredible to see the relationships that form between the students and how their faith in God truly deepens. We strategically choose to have our Summer Camp in the beginning of summer as it is a great opportunity for students to build friendships before school starts and is a great way to kick off the summer!
Hume Lake is an amazing place and is truly an integral part of our student’s relationship with their Creator! And as such it the full cost of each camper is $1,300. However, because of the incredible generosity of our Neighborhood Church family, we can offer summer camp at the discounted rate of $995 per student! A $150 deposit for each spot is required to hold your campers spot. In fact, last year we had a very long waiting list :/ Spots are limited, so please reserve your student’s spot as soon as possible with your deposit!
To reserve a spot & make a payment: a processing fee of 2.75% will be charged for all credit/debit/online payments. If you would like to avoid this fee, please consider paying by cash, check, or Venmo. Thank you for your understanding.
We never want finances to be the reason a student cannot go to camp. Hume Lake provides financial assistance through their “Camperships” (see details here). We have also included a Financial Aid Request Form in this packet. We have an amazing church, and each year they donate into our camp aid fund. God is good! Summer Camp is amazing! So apply today!
Summer Camp at Hume Lake provides a sacred space for students to reconnect with God, their classmates, and their leaders in ways that strengthen their faith as they come home and return to a new school year!

Deposits & Payments
A $150 deposit must accompany the Summer Camp Registration Form, as well as the necessary registration forms (Neighborhood Church/General Parental Release Form & Hume Lake/On-Line Consent
& Release of Liability Form) to hold your spot.
The total cost of Summer Camp is $1,300 per camper.
Neighborhood Church Discounted Rate: $995 (Jr High & High School) & $895 (Elementary School)
Hume Lake increased their prices again this year which is why you see a price increase just to cover costs.
If you are in a place where you can afford to pay the entire amount up front and you know your student will be available June 21 – June 28 in 2026, then it would be awesome if you can make that payment!
You can make your payment via:
- check made out to Neighborhood Church
- online at https://www.neighborhoodchurch.com/giving*
- through VENMO @ neighborhoodchurch_
*Please note: A processing fee of 2.75% will be charged for all credit/debit/online card payments. If you would like to avoid this fee, please consider paying by cash, check, or Venmo. Thank you for your understanding.
We believe that financial transparency builds trust and is a mark of stewardship so we want to take a moment to remind you that there is a small cost for this online convenience. You’ll have the opportunity to help cover the cost of processing when you give. Please know that this is 100% optional, but we appreciate your partnership in making your gift go as far as possible for your students.
