Will there be dinner on Friday Night? 

No, dinner will not be served on Friday night.  Most people either pack a dinner, or stop in Redlands to grab a bite before heading up the mountain.

How much does the conference cost?

ECONOMY: Community-style bunk bed housing with shared bathrooms (men and women have separate accommodations)
STANDARD: Queen and bunk bed housing with private bathrooms, shared accommodations
DELUXE: double, twin, and bunk beds with full linens provided and private bathrooms (Recommended for families and couples desiring privacy).

What if I’m single and want deluxe or standard accommodations? 

You will be placed with others (of the same gender) who have registered for the same type of accommodations. 

Will I be sharing my room with others? 

In general, camp accommodations are shared accommodations.  We always do our best to give families and couples privacy, but cannot guarantee this in Economy or Standard housing.  Think of camp as an opportunity for fellowship.  Another idea you might want to consider is to sign up together with another family or friends to share accommodations.    

Is my deposit refundable? 

Unfortunately, because we are contracted to pay for a certain number of spots to Forest Home, deposits are generally not refundable.  

Are there scholarships available?

Yes, several partial scholarships are available based on financial need.  Please do not allow your financial situation to prevent you from attending fall conference.  If you have a financial need and want to attend the conference, please contact a pastoral ministry team member as soon as possible for a scholarship application.

Admittance to conference sessions, materials, accommodations, 5 meals (beginning with breakfast on Saturday and ending with lunch on Sunday), various recreational activities, children and youth programs are included in your registration fee.
