Oftentimes, people are at a loss for words when describing our Overnight Youth Camps.
Well, hallelujah for video!
Meals, Lodging, Program, & Recreation
The first child pays full price, and each sibling gets $100 off their camp registration.
If you are a returning camper, bring someone who has never been to a Mount Hermon youth camp (Ponderosa Lodge, Redwood Camp, or Kidder Creek), and you will each get $100 off your camp registration. Bring two friends, you get $200 off. Bring three friends, you get $300 off!

Please do not let finances get in the way of a Mount Hermon experience. Through the generosity of many, a partial grant from the Campership Fund may be just the gift you need to make it possible for you to attend camp.
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. While we always aim for flexibility, these policies help us ensure proper preparations for our camp attendees. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to be sure of your attendance dates.
Lower elementary camp is the perfect introduction to a sleep-away camp experience. We keep the cabin groups small so your camper gets tons of individual attention and they're sure to make new friends. Adventures like the flying squirrel and discovery grove ropes course are designed to challenge and delight 2nd and 3rd graders, while traditional camp activities like swim time, crafts and campfires start new traditions. Here among the redwoods and alongside our loving staff your camper will meet Jesus in fresh and real ways.
Upper elementary camp gives your camper a chance to explore who God has made them to be through increased challenges, new adventures and counselor led small group times. The zip line and Geronimo swing are age-appropriate challenges to be conquered and target sports like archery allow campers to develop new skills. Cook-out night at the creek, ice cream at the fountain, and cabin times help campers discover their independence. Community worship and hilarious skits, meaningful dramas, campfires, s’mores and sharing times will solidify their relationship with Jesus.

Once you are in the Parent Portal, this is where we'll be able to take care of those last minute details!
Now that you're in your itinerary...
Is there someone your camper wants to create lifelong memories with this week? We've got you covered!
Roommate Policy: There is a maximum limit of 3 cabin mates that can be requested to be grouped in a cabin. There are instances where a camper who requests a cabin mate is already linked with someone you may not know. This is still considered a group of three. Your camper will be unable to request or accept any additional cabin mate requests. If your camper has more than three friends in their desired group, we suggest the campers divide into small groups of two or three, so no one is left out!
Follow these directions and let the memories begin!
You're all set! Make sure you have confirmed your roommate no later than 1 month prior to camp.
Nervous about not having a roommate request? Don't be. There are so many amazing people that will be in your camper's cabin this week, they'll make friends quick and fast!
If they run out of money during the week— no problem! Use this same portal to put money into your camper's account remotely.
Making a payment on your camper's week is easy. No worries, it's simple.
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. While we always aim for flexibility, these policies help us ensure proper preparations for our camp attendees. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to be sure of your attendance dates.
Please mark all items, including luggage, with the camper’s last name and initial to aid in identification in event of loss.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING
Cellular phones, iPods/radio/CD player, electronic games, playing cards, comics, fireworks, hunting knife, bows, firearms, pagers, phone cards, animals, or sports equipment, unless cleared with the Director.
Important Notice:
Please note that our Health Services Staff are to receive all medications, vitamins, and over-the-counter drugs in their original prescription bottles and or manufactures packaging, at the time of check-in. No unlabeled medication, supplements or vitamins will be accepted and dosed per California Public Health Department.

Camp starts Sunday of your selected week with check-in between 3–4:00 PM at Redwood Camp. If you know that you will be late to registration, please call the front desk (831.335.4466) so that your camper's spot will not be released to the waitlist. Cabin orientation begins immediately. Put this address in your GPS:
6496 East Zayante Road, Felton, CA 95018
When you turn into Redwood, you will be greeted by staff and encouraged to drive slowly as you make your way into camp.
All camps will conclude on Saturday following our Victory Circle celebration which begins at 9:00am concluding by 9:40am. Parents are invited to attend the final Victory Circle time (9am) for a glimpse of your child’s week at camp. It is essential that campers be picked up promptly by 9:40am on Saturday.
SPECIAL NOTE ON PARCELS TO CAMPERS
We are now asking parents to no longer drop off or send any parcels or packages for your student at camp this year. We also ask that you no longer send additional food items in your students luggage to camp. This is due to several reasons: the camp provides a balanced diet, including desserts, each day for the entire week. In addition, there is a daily scheduled snack bar time for children to purchase a drink, candy and/or ice cream. The third and most important reason is the increase in the variety and range of allergies that children enter our camp community with, creating increased concern for unintended allergic reactions.
Birthdays can still be honored with arrangements made ahead of time with the RWC Administrative Lead.
Thank you for complying with this request to help keep Redwood Camp safe and caring for all students.
Everybody Likes Mail — Especially at camp! When sending letters to your camper, make sure to focus on the fun and interesting things that are happening at camp, rather than lots of reminders or news from home. (That will help a lot with homesickness!) If you would like to guarantee that your camper will get all of their mail from you, bring it with you on Opening Day, labeled with the camper's name and the day you would like it delivered and hand it to our Admin Lead.
Sending Mail USPS:
Camper Name
c/o Redwood Camp
Box 413
Mount Hermon, CA 95041
If you send mail, we suggest mailing it on Monday or Tuesday of your camper's week. Late arriving mail will be returned to sender.
See the week as it progresses!
Photographers usually have time to upload the day's pictures each evening.
Something to take note of: there are no cell phones allowed at camp. So, if your camper would like to take their own pictures, they will need to bring an actual camera to make that happen.
