Raising money for camp can be a fun and rewarding experience for the whole family! Whether through service projects, creative events, or classic fundraisers, there are many ways to engage your community and make camp possible. As you plan your fundraiser, please remember that for liability reasons, we ask that you do not use the Sandals Church logo in any promotional materials. Additionally, please refrain from creating your own Sandals Church merchandise (such as T-shirts, hats, bracelets, mugs, etc.) for fundraising purposes. We appreciate your efforts and creativity and are excited to see how you make camp a reality for your child!

Yes! We have waiting lists for all of our Camps that are full. There is no cost to be on the waiting list. In order to add a child to the waiting list, please complete the online registration at sandalschurch.com/camp, even if the Camp is full. Should a spot open up for your child, you will receive an email immediately offering you the position. We will wait 24 hours to hear a response from the first person on the waitlist before calling subsequent families. Once the open spot is accepted, payment and registration for the Summer Camp will be due.  

We take our committed volunteers who serve every week in Family Ministries at Sandals Church. Our volunteers make great counselors because they already have existing relationships with the students in our ministries, and they are trained on all of our safety and procedural protocols. Every counselor is background checked by Sandals Church and Forest Home.  

Yes. We will do our best to accommodate your request; however, we cannot make any guarantees. These requests can be made during the registration process. 

Forest Home does not make phone services available for campers. Generally, children are not able to make or receive phone calls during camp. If there is an extreme case involving your child at camp that warrants parental contact (i.e., discipline, extreme homesickness, injury, etc.), our camp staff will contact you.

For the safety of all campers, Forest Home DOES NOT allow visits by anyone other than pre-determined church staff during camp. Early arrival or pick-up of campers by parents is permitted in certain pre-determined cases, and they must be arranged in advance with church and camp staff at camp@sandalschurch.com. 

If you have a serious family emergency and need to contact your child while at camp, you may contact the Forest Home Roundhouse at 909-389-2300, and they can direct you to Sandals Church Camp Staff.

 Yes, there is always a full-time nurse on duty at camp. 

You will need to indicate the camper’s medication on the medical form, and at the time of drop off, you will submit all medications to the medication station. All medications must be in their original pharmacy container along with written instructions, all in a Ziploc plastic bag with the camper’s name printed on it. (PLEASE NOTE: if medications are not in the original container, the camp cannot administer them.)

Yes. If your student has special dietary needs, please note it on your Registration.

Yes, we email a suggested packing list to all registered families in late May.

Sadly, no. Forest Home does NOT recieve and distribute camper mail.

Yes, as they will have opportunities to shop for souvenirs and snacks throughout the week.. $15-$30 is typically just fine. All campers will use an Electronic System this year for purchases. You can find all the information at https://www.foresthome.org/about/storecard/ you can see purchases through the week on your store account and can add as needed.

Yes! Pictures are usually added each night of camp, and we send the link to all camp parents each night once they are available.

For the safety, protection, and emotional stability of all campers and counselors, we do NOT permit anyone to visit Summer Camp unless they have been approved by the Summer Camp staff (yes, this includes parents). Forest Home is a CLOSED campsite and requires a background check for ANY adult onsite; for that purpose, we do not permit visitors. If, for some reason, you need to come up to Forest Home to pick up your child early or to drop something off, please contact camp@sandalschurch.com via email so we can coordinate a date/time and give you directions on where to do so. The safety of your child is our number one priority. We will do everything possible to ensure that your camper has a safe, positive experience at camp. 

We only allow late drop-offs or early pick-ups during the times listed below, and it needs to be scheduled with our camp team at camp@sandalschurch.com:

Morning check-in/Check-out: 8:30 am – 9:00 am

Evening check-in/ Check-out: 5:00 pm – 5:30 pm

**Please note that we do not allow any late drop off/early pickups on the first or last day of Camp**
