★★★★★Kevin ClarkMe and my kids super enjoyed Meadow Ranch middle school camp. The activities were outstanding. The speaker for the week really presented practical biblical actions that the kids could apply to their lives. I felt like they delivered on “The Gospel at Play.” If you have a chance GO!
★★★★★JBI just got back from summer camp at Ponderosa, and it was one of the best experiences I've had with God. Hume's supportive environment allowed both me and my friends to share very personal parts of our lives. One of the best places to visit, imo. Thank you to all the Hume staff for making this possible. :)
★★★★★Carlos GarciaFirst time as counselor, all I have to say is amazing 👏🏽 Great staff, great mentors! Would definitely love to come back!
★★★★Sandy SDecided to take a day trip to Hume Lake to celebrate my birthday. First of all the ride up is beautiful with only a few scary turns, just take them slow I say (ask my hubby.) Starving when we got there we needed food pronto. Unfortunately, the only options we had were the market or the Snack Shack. Being Memorial Day weekend I thought there would be more options available. The Snack Shack luckily had hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, shakes and other items to choose from. The camp is clean and well maintained. Everyone we spoke to was kind and helpful. Love how the whole place feels very positive.
★★★★★E. C.Had a great weekend up here with the family, 15 - 18 July 2020. No family camp, but they are still renting out rooms. Price was great. Kayaked the lake, ate some good grub, worshipped, and just enjoyed some time away. Weather was amazing. Staff was amazing as well. Highly recommend
