HSM Summer Camp is packed with adventure, competition, and non-stop fun. But beyond the excitement, it’s a place to grow in faith, build meaningful community, and be encouraged to trust Jesus through worship, discussions, and Gospel teaching.
This summer at camp, we’ll be inviting students into an honest exploration of one powerful question: What if God is actually good?
As we walk through the life of Elijah, students will see how God meets people in real moments; when life feels uncertain, quiet, challenging, or even overwhelming. But this isn’t just about Elijah’s story. It ultimately points us to Jesus, where we see the clearest picture of God’s goodness on display.
Through engaging teaching, worship, and meaningful conversations, we’ll explore how the goodness of God is not just something to understand, but something to receive through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Camp is an opportunity for students to experience authentic community, grow in their understanding of who God is, and begin to see how following Jesus shapes their lives long after the camp ends.
Austin grew up in Quito, Ecuador as a missionary kid, which kick started his passion for seeing people commit to following Jesus. He now serves as the families pastor at 3Crosses in the East Bay with his wife Paige and two beautiful daughters, Piper and Phoebe. He has way too many hobbies including surfing, dirt bike riding, golfing and pretty much any lawn game.
High School Camp is hosted by Miracle Ranch, located in Port Orchard, WA. Teens will experience outdoor adventure and tranquil beauty in a faith-filled environment.
We know how expensive summer camp can be. We value every student having the chance to attend, so Canyon Hills subsidizes a large portion of the cost to help make summer camp as affordable as possible so no one is unable to attend.
If a student is attending a MSM or HSM Summer Camp for the very first time, we’d love to provide you with a $50 special discount. If you are attending Kids Camp, we’d like to offer a $25 discount. There will be a checkbox in registration where you can indicate if this is your student’s first ever Canyon Hills Summer Camp (not including MSM Winter Camp/HSM Fall Retreat etc.) and the discount will be applied.
We believe that no student should be prevented from attending Summer Camp due to financial hardship. If you need financial assistance, we are happy to partner with you. If you have need for a CAMPERSHIP (Scholarship) because of financial hardship, you can apply for that after the registration process. You will need to pay the non-refundable deposit during registration.
The $50 deposit is non-refundable. The remaining camp cost is refundable until June 22. After June 22, no refunds will be issued.

Return from Camp
We're heading home from camp, filled with memories and unforgettable experiences! (approx. arrival time is 2:30pm)
Each day at camp is filled with times of worship, biblical teaching, and practical steps to help students experience Jesus and apply His truth.
Cabin groups foster real relationships and biblical community, providing a space for reflection, faith application, and lasting connections guided by trained leaders.
At camp, activity time is anything but ordinary—it’s an intentional space for shared experiences that challenge students, build community, and create unforgettable fun.
Rec Competitions are a camp favorite, bringing students together in high-energy team competitions that build teamwork, strategy, perseverance and lasting relationships.
Boating, swimming, horseback riding, and iced coffee create relaxed moments at camp where students bond, reflect, and receive support from leaders.
Even after the sun sets, the fun continues with glow-in-the-dark games, campfires, and surprise activities full of laughter and lasting memories.
Camp starts before camp even begins at our Pre-Camp Party, where you’ll connect with your leaders, meet your cabinmates, and get a taste of the unforgettable week ahead.
Camp may end, but the community doesn’t! We refuse to let the last day of camp be just a “goodbye” moment—so instead, we’re throwing a Post-Camp Party the week after we get back! This is your chance to relive the best moments, reconnect with friends, and keep the excitement going all summer long.
We prioritize the health and safety of our campers and staff with a fully stocked Health Center and a skilled Medical Care Team, including nurses and medical personnel. While we do not have on-site doctors, we are equipped to handle illnesses and injuries with necessary supplies, AEDs, and emergency equipment. If further care is needed, we coordinate with parents and transport campers to a medical facility if required.
Many of our camp leaders are already involved in student or Kids Ministry. Each adult cabin leader has completed a theological questionnaire, passed a background check, and met with someone from our Student/Kids Ministry staff. Leaders coming to camp have demonstrated a clear love for students/kids and for the Lord.
Our Camp Medical Team consists of nurses on-site 24/7 to provide basic care and administer medications. Read the Health and Safety page for more info.
No. Miracle Ranch and Canyon Hills Summer Camps operate as a closed campus for the best care and safety of all students and leaders. Once camp is underway, no outside visitors are allowed on campus. Any necessary visitors must receive direct approval from the Student Outreach Pastor prior to arriving on site.
This policy helps us maintain a secure environment where campers can focus on building community, having fun, and growing in their faith —without outside distractions or safety concerns as well as allow our adult teams to focus on their responsibilities for camper care. If you have any questions, please email the camps team at camps@chccbw.org.
To provide the very best camp experience for every student, we do not allow campers to be dropped off late or picked up early. Every moment of camp is carefully planned with purpose—whether it’s a shared meal, a cabin discussion, worship, or a game—all of it is designed to help students encounter Jesus and build life-giving relationships. Late arrivals or early departures can disrupt not only your camper’s experience but also the flow of the group they’re part of.
We understand that life happens, and there may be rare situations that require an exception. If you have a unique circumstance that you believe warrants special consideration, please reach out directly to our camp staff. We are here to partner with you and your family and want every camper to experience all that God has for them at camp!
Optional: snack bar money
Your camp will also send out a specific packing list a few weeks prior to camp for any special event items students may choose to bring, as well as provide any clarification on the packing list. All campers must fit all their items in one suitcase/bag.
What NOT to bring:
One of the things that makes Canyon Hills Camps special is the chance for students to unplug from distractions and fully engage. Because of that, all Canyon Hills Camps are completely electronic device-free — meaning if it connects to the internet, has a cellular connection, or can send and receive communication, it must stay home.
We believe camp is a rare opportunity for students to:
Our goal is to create a space where every student can disconnect from screens and fully engage with God, their community, and the life-changing experience of camp.
Thank you for helping us protect this environment by making sure your student leaves their devices at home
We place a high value on friendships and biblical community at camp. Campers are grouped by grade and gender, typically with about 12 students per group, led by trained, caring cabin leaders. If your child is already part of a Life Group, we’ll do our best to keep them with their leader and group during camp.
When registering, campers can request a friend to room with, and we’ll make every effort to honor those requests while keeping groups healthy and balanced. If a camper isn’t in a Life Group, we’ll make sure they’re placed with at least one of their requested friends to help them feel connected from the start.
We use a texting service to send regular updates and photos, so you can get a glimpse into your campers’ week at camp.
If you have High School campers, you can follow the camps on the HSM social accounts on Facebook/Instagram at @canyonhillshsm.
Celebrate the good news of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus with us this Easter!
