hsm summer camp
get ready for the greatest week of the summer
Camp is BACK!!! The best part of summer is HERE! These will be amazing days of fun, laughter, learning, rec games, teaching, small group conversations and so much more! Summer Camp is a high-energy event. It’s structured specifically for high school students and is packed with fun experiences, competition, powerful worship, teaching from God’s Word, and valuable moments with their small groups. The cost of camp includes bus transportation and all food, lodging & activities at camp.
Registration is now closed. Please join us in prayer as our students, leaders and staff head up to summer camp. We are excited for an amazing week and can’t wait to see how God moves at Camp Pondo this year!
Here are some frequently asked questions:
Camp is open to incoming freshmen (Class of 2027) to incoming seniors (Class of 2024).
There is an option to be able to apply for financial aid for camp. We want to be as helpful as possible in making a way for students to come to camp. For families experiencing significant financial hardship, after you register for camp, please click here to learn more.
Yes! There is space on the registration form for friend room requests. We will do our very best to assure each student gets at least one of their requests.
